The 2021 U.S. Championships will serve as the final qualifying event prior to selecting and announcing the U.S. World Figure Skating Team that will represent Team USA at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships in Stockholm. The marquee event was relocated from San Jose, California, to Las Vegas late in the fall due to COVID-19 considerations. San Jose meanwhile was awarded the 2023 Toyota U.S. Championships, marking the fourth time that the city will host the event. Competition and practice for the junior and Championship competitions will be held at The Orleans Arena in Las Vegas. The event will take place in a bubble format with no spectators. Las Vegas, Nevada This is the first time the U.S. Championships will be held in Las Vegas.

The Four Continents Championships 2017 serve as a test event for the 2018 Olympic Winter Games. Tessa Virtue/Scott Moir (CAN) dance off with gold Tessa Virtue/Scott Moir of Canada danced off with the gold medal, taking home their third Four Continents title. USA’s Maia Shibutani/ Alex Shibutani earned the silver medal and their teammates Madison Chock/Evan Bates claimed the bronze. Virtue/Moir delivered a strong Free Dance to “Pilgrims on a Long Journey” and “Latch”, collecting a level four for their lifts, the twizzles, the diagonal step sequence and the spin and a level three for the circular step sequence. The 2014 Olympic silver medalists set a new personal best with 117.20 points and accumulated 196.95 points overall. “What an honor for Tessa and I to be Four Continents Champions. It was obviously a goal of ours just to qualify for this event at the beginning of the year. It was such a great competition. Today was an interesting performance for us as we left a couple of points on the board, but it was really special for us to be in that venue.

Feb. 10, 1986 U.S. expects Marcos victory Bv United Press Internatlonol ' The administration, breaking its silence, today expressed concern about rep o rt^ electorai fraud in the Philip­ pines, but called on both sides to "work together to form a viable government without violence.” “ We’ve seen the reports of violence and fraud,” White House spokesman Larry Speakes told reporters. “ We're concerned, but the outcome of the election is not clear and the facts are not in.” With President Ferdinand Marcos and challenger Corazon Aquino neck- and-neck in unofficial tabulations of an election now in the hands of the Marcos-dominated parliament, the White House declined comment on the possible outcome. However, the administration was known to expect a Marcos victory and in its first official comments in days indicated that Marcos must somehow accommodate the Aquino-led opposi­ tion with political, economic and military reforms. The parliament, where members of Marcos’ New Society Movement ruling party heavily outnumber the opposi­ tion, is charged with untangling results of the election and determining a winner. It adjourned four hours after opening without counting a ballot. A White House-appointed observer team issued a damning report on the voting and ballot-counting today before returning to Washington to turn over its findings to President Reagan. “ The word 'clq,an‘ Is absolutely foreign and obviously not appropriate An exhausted Filipino takes an impromptu nap today began the task of untangling the results to what we have observed,” said Sen.

  • ADULT TRAINING CAMP June 29 – July 1 Starring
    Home of Champions Presents the 2007 ADULT TRAINING CAMP June 29 – July 1 starring Nikolai Morozov *plus the largest number of international, World and Olympic skaters ever assembled for this camp including: (Please note: Skater list may be subject to change) Kyoko Ina Naomi Lang Miki Ando Daisuke Takahashi Kristen Fraser & & & John Zimmerman Peter Tchernychev Igor Lukanin AND MORE! Nikolai Morozov, who coaches at the Ice House in Hackensack, NJ, first came to the world’s notice through his work with Tatiana Tarasova and Alexei Yagudin on Yagudin’s famed 2002 Olympic short program, Winter. More successes quickly followed as he guided Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz to their only World ice dancing championship in 2003, while choreographing the programs for many of the sports leading ladies. Then he choreographed the Matrix free skate for Brian Joubert, who became the first Frenchman to win Europeans in decades in 2004. By the 2004 Worlds, he had choreographed the programs for all of the ladies who reached the podium in Dortmund including Shizuka Arakawa, Sasha Cohen, and Michelle Kwan. Although he is most famous for his choreography, the 31 year-old also has a full stable of skaters for whom he is the primary coach. That includes instruction in both dance techniques and jumps up through the quad. One huge advantage for Morozov is his ability to demonstrate any move on the ice, including both the lady’s and the man’s position in ice dancing. That allows him to work with each partner as the other watches to demonstrate the correct positions.
