Asada Aims to Add to Success at NHK Trophy Sports FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2013 Vonn returns to downhill training COPPER MOUNTAIN: Lindsey Vonn eased into her first day of downhill training on Wednesday, with the four-time overall World Cup champion holding back on her opening run just to get used to that kind of speed again. By her fifth and final pass at the US Ski Team’s speed center on Wednesday, Vonn was charging so hard through the two- mile course that she bent over in exhaustion soon after finish- ing, trying to catch her breath. More and more, Vonn is feeling like her old self again as her surgically repaired right knee gets stronger. The knee felt “really good,” Vonn said as she scram- bled for the warmth of the lodge following the bitterly cold workout session.

Everything is perfect.” The 29-year-old Vonn shred- ded her anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in a crash at the world championships in Schladming last February, but has progressed much faster than anticipated. She even thought about competing at the season-opening race in Soelden, Austria, on Oct. 26, only to skip it to give her knee more time to recover.

    I N T E R N A T I O N A L S K A T I N G U N I O N HEADQUARTERS ADDRESS: CHEMIN DE PRIMEROSE 2 - CH 1007 LAUSANNE - SWITZERLAND TELEPHONE (+41) 21 612 66 66 TELEFAX (+41) 21 612 66 7 E-MAIL: [email protected] November 29, 2014 For immediate release ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Series 2014/2015 NHK Trophy, Day Two NHK Trophy continued Saturday in Osaka, Japan with the Short Dance, the Pairs, Ladies and Men’s Free Skating. NHK Trophy is the sixth and final event in the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating series and thus provides the last opportunity for skaters to qualify for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final in Barcelona, Spain in December. Kaitlyn Weaver/Andrew Poje (CAN) dance to the lead Kaitlyn Weaver/Andrew Poje of Canada danced to a comfortable lead in the Short Dance. Great Britain’s Penny Coomes/Nicholas Buckland are currently ranked second, followed closely by Russians Ksenia Monko/Kirill Khaliavin. Weaver/Poje’s Paso Doble to “La Virgen de Macarena” featured level-four twizzles and a level- four rotational lift. The Paso Doble pattern merited a level three while the side by side footwork was a level two. The World silver medalists earned 67.51 points. “It is true the Paso Doble is a more classical dance. Our approach was just to juvenilize the classical nature of the dance, but try to bring the authenticity to it and try to bring a little bit of new flair to it ensuring that the audience finds it exciting and finds the passion within the dance”, Poje explained.
