That’s why warehouse foreman Gilbert Camacho says he forked over $2,400 for a pair of $240 tickets to last week’s second game of the 2017 World Series. His Los Angeles Dodgers may have lost that one to the Houston Astros 7-6 in a marathon slug- fest that saw a record eight home runs hit over 11 innings, but the chance to share the moment with his 16-year-old daughter made it worthwhile. She wasn’t alive to watch their beloved team win its last World Series in 1988 and her father, a recent immigrant from Mexico, couldn’t afford a ticket then. “I put all my end-of-the-year Christmas shopping money right into that game,” he said with a smile as trucks filled with frozen food were loaded and unloaded at the sprawling LA Cold Storage warehouse Tuesday morning. t“But like I told my daughter, this is a once in a lifetime experience.” All across Los Angeles and its environs on Tuesday, hours before the beginning of the series’ seventh and deciding game, that feeling was mutual.

  • Nathan Chen (USA) Repeats As World Champion, Sets Record Score in Saitama
    March 23, 2019 Saitama, Japan Nathan Chen (USA) repeats as World Champion, sets record score in Saitama Nathan Chen (USA) repeated as World Champion in what was a spectacular Men’s Final at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships in Saitama (JPN) on Saturday. Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu pulled up one spot to claim the silver, his sixth Word medal. Vincent Zhou (USA) took the bronze, his first medal at the World Championships. Chen had drawn to skate after Hanyu, who had set the 18,000 spectators at a sold out arena on fire with his performance. Nevertheless, the 19-year-old remained composed and put out a clean program to “Land of All” by Woodkid, pulling off a quad Lutz, flip, quad toe and quad toe-triple toe as well as five triples including an Axel. The 2018 World Champion collected a level four for his spins and footwork and set a new highest score in the Free Skating with 216.02 points. He racked up 323.42 points. “It’s an amazing feeling to be up here with these two guys. This competition went awesome. I’m proud of myself for being able to put out two pretty strong programs and ultimately just happy with how it went and I hope to have more experiences like this,” Chen said. “Every time Yuzu (Yuzuru Hanyu) skates, he does something amazing and incredible and it’s just a huge honor to be able to skate with him, skate after him, especially knowing how he sets the bar. It’s great to be able to follow that,” the U.S.

  • Cloudy with a Chance of Pooh Bears
    Cloudy With a Chance of Pooh Bears With a deafening roar from the stadium full of supporters and fans, Japanese figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu finishes his free programme. After an amazingly extraordinary performance, Hanyu falls to his knees exhausted. He has poured everything he had into that programme and this is evident from the elated and emotional reaction of the crowd. Cheers of delight echo round the rink as an absolute storm of plush Winnie the Pooh soft toys are thrown onto the rink as these are Hayu’s favourite cartoon character. It takes the staff a solid 10 minutes to clear the ice for Hanyu’s rival, Nathan Chen, who is to become the overall winner of the ISU Grand Prix Finals 2019. The real magic happens during the Exhibition Gala when the skaters from the competition simply skate to showcase their skills and please the crowd. The feeling and the energy flowing from each skater changes drastically from the competition to the Gala. They are more relaxed and are, in general, enjoying the atmosphere and trying to put on a good show. They are more indulged in the art of the sport rather than being limited by perfect execution of the technical points. Hanyu is no different. He skated to Notte Stellata (the swan) by Il Volo and it suited him to perfection. The piece is a very beautiful and emotional one. This, in combination with Hanyu’s elegance and expression through movement, makes for a breathtaking performance. The way the choreography flows to the music is incredible but if done by anyone else, it would not have the same absolute beauty as done by Yuzuru Hanyu.
