我好佩服他们两啊，隔着这么远还能3周就见一次啊！！！羡慕！
不过应该该航空公司做了很大的贡献，肯定一人一张vip卡！

‘Tanith笑着说，Evan给她的唯一建议就是，他喜欢她简洁清爽的造型，讨厌繁杂的装饰和点缀。他认为一个优秀的选手应该靠自己的实力和表演力吸引观众，而不是炫目的服装或噱头。’

典型的雷氏风格！

何止航空公司，这小两口给电信公司的贡献也不可估量。

所以说爱情是最无私的投资，不但是投入全部的感情，还有时间，金钱，体力...但如果最终收获的是一辈子的幸福，再辛苦也是值得的。

关于美女的美丽‘冻’人，我也是五体投地。一直不明白为什么那些花滑运动员个个都有杨柳般纤细的身材和北极熊一样BH的耐寒性。

不仅是穿衣，Tanith现在连说话都越来越雷式风格了，尤其是花滑市场营销策略那段。对了，她最近把blog的音乐换成了forever young，就是Evan06中国杯表演时用的那个版本（可惜只用了一次）。也搞不清他俩究竟谁影响谁比较多。

那个歌词我很喜欢，下面这几句特别应景：


Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun


Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And dimonds are forever

So many adventures couldnt happen today
So many songs we forgot to play

So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

突然发现今年EVAN短节目的音乐和B/A02的OD音乐一样!

Yes! Evan去年的COI表演还用过B/A03年FD-Elvis组曲里面的hound dog。照此发展，下赛季Evan岂不要滑肖邦？！如有雷同，纯属巧合！


关于B/A的最新报道，美锦赛首日战报很快送上。

Belbin, Agosto aiming forwardJohn Niyo / The Detroit News

CANTON TOWNSHIP -- Last month's Grand Prix final in Torino, Italy, marked a silver anniversary of sorts for Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto. And while returning to the scene of their 2006 Olympic glory proved to be a nostalgic trip for America's highest-profile figure skaters -- their runner-up finish in '06 gave the U.S. its first Olympic ice dance medal in 30 years -- it also served as a reminder. It's time to look forward.
"It's funny because we were walking around the city a little bit, and we all kind of wanted to go back to the (athletes') village," said Belbin, who trains with Agosto at the Arctic Edge in Canton. "But now the village is actually low-income housing and it's supposedly the most dangerous part of town.
"When we tried to walk over the bridge to go, people there were saying 'Don't go!'
Another 2006 Olympian, reigning U.S. singles champ Kimmie Meissner, did venture across with her father.
"But she said they stayed about two seconds and turned right around," Belbin laughed. "So things do change, I guess."


And time does fly. Belbin and Agosto are beginning their 10th year together as a dance team at the 2008 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in St. Paul, Minn. Overwhelming favorites to win their record-tying fifth consecutive U.S. title, they're also keenly aware of the calendar: Next month marks the halfway point between Torino and the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
"When we did get the chance to go to the Olympics (in 2006), we were talking a lot about how lucky we were in not knowing we were going until the last minute," said Belbin, a Canadian-born skater who got her U.S. citizenship just in time for Torino. "And now we're beginning to really understand -- you start stressing years before, and it's starting now. It's a very long game of chess that you begin about this time."

After today's compulsories at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Thursday's original dance is the next move for Belbin and Agosto, whose foot-stomping, crowd-pleasing Appalachian hoedown plays to their entertaining strengths. But Saturday's free dance -- to a Chopin concerto medley arranged by Emmy-winning composer Joseph LoDuca of Bloomfield Hills -- offers a departure for the skaters, who haven't left an international competition without a medal since 2004. （原来B/A今年的自由滑《肖邦旋律》的编曲是大名鼎鼎的艾美奖得主耶！）

"It's the most classical piece we've done for a free dance," Belbin said. "It's totally new for us and it required a lot more basic skating skill training in the summer to improve our lines and our posture and all the things you'd expect to go with a more balletic style. It pushed us in the right direction to look more mature."
Last summer's back-to-basics approach with their coach, Igor Shpilband, also meant more off-ice training designed to improve their strength and speed. And the early returns look good -- a pair of gold medals in Skate America and the Cup of China followed by a silver at the Grand Prix final in Torino. Their closest competitors in St. Paul figure to be their Canton training partners -- second-year seniors Meryl Davis and Charlie White, who were last year's U.S. bronze medalists. But Belbin and Agosto will get another shot at Russians Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin at the world championships in March.
"We were always criticized for having weaker lifts, weaker extensions -- all these things the top teams have -- and this year we're getting (the marks)," Belbin said. "For the first time in maybe three or four years, we've really taken a step and I feel like that's showing."

在完成了形象蜕变和基本功深造后，我对B/A越来越有信心了，加油Tanith and Ben，等待你们的好消息!

加油哦~ 你们最可爱了

美锦赛首日战报：

冰舞比赛进行了规定舞扬基波尔卡，BA受到了来自队友DW的强力挑战，以1.27险胜。双方都发挥出了极高的水准，但DW以出众的速度和爆发力在技术分上略胜BA一筹。

赛后Tan和Ben都对自己的表现表示满意。他们的教练Igor说这种舞的舞步变换非常快速，对BA这对长腿组合相对比较吃力，这不是他们擅长的舞蹈，但今天他们的表现非常好。世锦赛上规定舞将从奥地利华尔兹和探戈中选一，所以对比较擅长这两种舞（尤其是后者！）的BA会相对有利。

祝BA再接再励，一鼓作气夺得五连冠！

(01/23/2008) - The "back-to-basics" training approach Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto have talked about all season continued to pay dividends today, as the couple jumped out to a 1.27-point lead with a speedy, fast-stepping Yankee Polka at the 2008 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.  "We felt we did it very well," the 23-year-old Belbin said. "It's a good start." "We think we've made a step forward this year with the compulsory dances," added her 26-year-old partner. "We have put the time in. There is really no other way to improve them but to work on basic skating skills." For the four-time defending champions and the rest of the 13-team field, the Yankee Polka can be summed up neatly: it's round and round and smile, smile, smile. The dance, a sprightly American export, is seeing a lot of action these days; it was also the compulsory at the Canadian championships last week and at the European championships earlier this week.  This morning, Xcel Energy Center workers in the facility's labyrinth-like ground floor have had to contend with high-energy couples hopping around to a silent 120 beats per minute, the speed of the dance. Meryl Davis and Charlie White, who train alongside Belbin and Agosto in Canton, Mich., were the most dangerous this morning; they were so absorbed in their kicks and steps that they almost whirled into a group of security guards on a break. The couple, who won the bronze medal at the 2007 State Farm U.S. Championships, placed second with 40.59 points. "That dance just takes so much energy," the 20-year-old White said. "As always, we've been training hard, and we knew we were going to nationals to try and do well." The young team, who have skated together an astounding 11 years, fared better than Belbin and Agosto in the total element score, earning 21.12 points to 20.94. When the program components were added in, the defending champions came out ahead with 41.86 points total. "It's nice to know the judges are seeing what we've done and are giving us the scores," White said.  Igor Shpilband, who trains the top two teams, liked what he saw today. "It was generally good," he said. "Maybe one of Tanith and Ben's sequences didn't have as much energies as the others, but there was no mistake. And it's a great dance for Meryl and Charlie; they skate it so close together and just keep attacking." The übercoach, who has nearly single-handedly put American ice dancing on the map over the last decade, feels that his top couple may fare better in the compulsory at the upcoming 2008 World Championships.  "The Yankee Polka is not Tanith and Ben's best dance," he said. "It's always hard for couples with long legs, because the steps are so quick. "At worlds, they will compete either the Austrian Waltz or the Tango. Both of those are good dances for Tanith and Ben."

加油哦~ 你们最可爱了

欢迎欢迎，小妹妹以后要常来呀。

其实Polka这次选的……我觉得很多人可能过去都不是用的很频繁，所以CD这个有点混乱的情况到了后两项应该会慢慢调节回来的，而且我相信B/A更擅长世锦赛最终选定的CD（Waltz和Tango之一~）毕竟这个赛季他们对那两个舞种更有比赛经验，而且有tech方面的feedback。唉，相比之下DW世锦赛很危险了，因为那两支CD，一支是他们的软肋（两站分站都比的超烂~），另一支是比软肋还软肋（升入Senior以来至今没比过…… ）

虽然美锦赛男单决赛两天后才上演，但赛前的关于Evan和Johnny之间Rivalry的陈词滥调兼千篇一律的烦人新闻已经铺天盖地了。不由得对他们心生万分同情和理解。正所谓人在江湖，身不由己。只可惜，树欲静，而风不止。

难怪Evan说，最难的准备是思想上如何做到专心冷静地让自己进入状态，而不为外界的因素所干扰。希望他成功渡过这一关。

新一期的日本滑冰杂志刊登了他们在大奖赛总决赛自由滑比赛结束后对Evan的专访（所以文中提到的“今年”是指07年）。看后感受最深的是，日本记者以人为本的专业精神真值得很多美国记者学习。

人和人的相处总是将心比心的，只有你以尊重和真诚的态度对待别人时，才会赢得同等的尊重和真诚。

我喜欢这样的Evan，一个坦诚相见的他，不必再担心媒体的断章取义和无中生有，终于可以卸下防备畅所欲言。这，才是真正的Evan Lysacek，我一直深爱着的那个坚强乐观，睿智冷静的阳光少年。

访问里面有不少独家报道，和喜欢Evan的朋友一起分享吧。

Evan Lysacek - 永远向前

问：先谈谈对这次总决赛的感受吧。
Evan: 昨晚我几乎彻夜未眠，又能回到这里滑冰感觉真好。这块冰场上有我太多难忘的记忆。今天最开心的是，终于有机会站在领奖台上看这个竞技场了。（因为06和冬奥领奖台擦肩而过的遗憾。）

问：那个3Salchow的摔倒是否出乎意料？
Evan：没有。其实我一直不太喜欢Salchow这种跳跃，那一跳我转过头了，结果落冰失去了平衡。

问：那么Salchow是你最讨厌的跳跃了？
Evan: 其实我最不喜欢的是3Axel。因为我的腿太长了，必须有足够的腾空高度才能完成，这对我是个很大的挑战（同时他髋关节的伤势让前进中起跳的发力受到限制）。Lutz和Flip对我来说是最容易的，因为身体可以用正直的姿态进入，很舒服。

问：这个夏天是怎么过的？
Evan：我给自己放了不到两周的假期，去了加州的一个避暑胜地，还去Las Vegas看了几场演出。剩下的时间都在训练。冬奥后的夏天COI的巡演时间很长，几乎没有时间进行正规的训练，上赛季准备得非常不充分。今年我想花足够的时间在训练上。

问：这个赛季自我感觉如何？
Evan：今年的准备比去年充分。我在美国站上的自由滑和中国站上的短节目表现还可以，我的技术难度高于对手，可惜没能在同一个比赛里有两次好的发挥，所以我对自己的成绩不满意。Frank安慰我说，重要的是获得参加总决赛的资格，并且从前面的失败里吸取经验教训，然后在总决赛有更好的表现。

问：听说Sandra Bezic给了你不少建议。
Evan：我前不久有机会向她请教。我对他说从前我有不少精力放在对音乐的表达上，但现在(随着COP对技术难度的要求越来越高)我必须不停地去想如何完成全部的技术细节和规定动作。她给我的建议是，用面部表情和大幅度的肢体语言去吸引观众，因为比赛中和观众的交流非常重要。

问：我们觉得你的Tosca非常感人，请谈谈你的创作思路。
Evan: Sandra说每个人都会经历爱与被爱，以及失去挚爱的感觉，我应该把这种情绪充分表达出来。我仔细研究了托斯卡的戏剧表演，并希望把这个鲜明的形象投射到冰场上去。我的比赛服装是Alexander McQueen设计的（McQueen是英国著名时装设计大师，多次荣获世界年度设计师大奖及英国皇家服装协会设计金奖等殊荣，Evan的短节目《佐罗》的服装也出自该大师手笔），我们充分尊重了原著的形象设计，以白色基调辅以红色装饰。

问：Lori Nichol对你的帮助呢？
Evan：Lori是个才华横溢的编舞，也是个极好的人。她总能把选手最好的一面发掘出来，同时不露痕迹地掩藏我们的弱点。

问：你的弱点是？
Evan: 太高了。我的身材太过修长，这令我很头疼，尤其是做柔美的动作时没有（矮个子选手）那样易如反掌。但她会教我如何隐藏我的高度，并且把身体线条当作一种优势来运用。

问：去年你因为病毒感染大病了一场（两个月），整个人瘦了一大圈，现在你的体重回来了吗？
Evan：那时候真的很害怕，因为医生查了很久也无法确诊病因。好在现在我的体重已经恢复了，主要是肌肉（基本没有脂肪）。其实我比你们想象中要重（笑）。

问：身体状态还好吗？那个Salchow的fall（膝盖重重着地）有没有摔伤？
Evan:
我很好，希望能保持（健康）。
那个Salchow（摔倒后）我的膝盖立刻肿起来了，并且出现了淤血。不过不要紧，我训练里这样的伤是经常的。

问：你在比赛里跌倒时疼不疼？还是兴奋点在比赛上所以不太疼？
Evan: 通常不会马上感觉到，因为我必须在比赛的全程保持精神高度集中。但比赛结束时（精神放松下来）会突然感觉非常疼。记得张丹在冬奥会上就是在这块冰场上摔了很惨烈的一跤，我想那种感觉她一定会感同身受的。

问：你的四周训练进行得如何了？
Evan：我在中国杯自由滑四周摔倒，导致后面的比赛节奏都脱节了。我发现自己的四周技术上存在缺欠，所以回来以后进行了强化训练。现在我在训练里（四周）的成功率接近100%。

问：你的教练Frank给你最重要的忠告是什么？
Evan: 太多了，一言难尽。当他用他那双蓝色的大眼睛瞪着我时，我必须听他的话。（笑）今天的自由滑之前，他告诫我保持身体腾空时姿态一定要尽量保持正直，因为我身高的关系，中轴线稍有偏离就很容易（在跳跃中）失去平衡。

问：作为花滑选手你的优点和缺点是什么？
Evan: 优点是我的训练很投入。缺点是我有时会非常害羞，有时在比赛里会缺乏那种“舍我其谁”的自信和霸气。也许因为我的个性里有非常随性的成分，对我而言，花滑只是生命里短暂的片断。

问：但你的表演总那么令人振奋，总会给人勇气和力量，特别是看到你在自由滑里一次次反败为胜的时候。
Evan：因为我对这项运动充满了敬意。即使今天我输得很惨，也决不会把这种情绪带到明天。我非常珍惜每一个在冰上的日子。
.
问：你说过你有意大利血统，你家族的血统究竟是怎样的？
Evan：我妈妈是希腊，意大利和叙利亚混血，我爸爸家这边来自捷克和匈牙利。我有亲戚现在还住在布达佩斯城郊。

问：你最熟悉的国家是？
Evan：当然是美国！（笑）布达佩斯是我最喜欢的城市之一（法国媒体曾经把这座城市誉为世界上最美丽宁静的首都）。一直很想去希腊，可惜时间关系到现在还没有成行。

问：叙利亚呢？
Evan：也没去过。美国人在那里好像不太受欢迎。

问：这个赛季对自己的目标是什么？
Evan：全美冠军。这个比赛对我非常重要。

问：那么世锦赛呢？
Evan：当然也非常重要。我非常希望重回领奖台。
名次尽管重要，我更希望自己可以一直进步，一直向前走。我的目标是，让每一步都走得比现在更好。

Evan，衷心祝福你的未来越来越美好！

小雷心态放的很好很平和，这次全美要跟某人一块加油啊~~
B/A的命真好。。俺只是小感叹一下

哎......米国8G的娱记啊~

话说那个 人在江湖飘啊~哪能不挨刀啊~
我怎么就突然想到了小郭和无双...还有白驼山壮骨粉......都是草草的头像搞的.......

楼上的……
小心，排山倒海～～～～

恭喜BA在创编舞的比赛里再下一城，向五连冠的目标又前进了一步！
Ben在twizzle中出现了脚落地的失误，但他们其他环节表现突出。特别是节目最后互掷帽子的诙谐表演赢得了观众的喝彩。这令他们在比赛中继续领跑。最后的小噱头有些风险，一旦帽子掉下来会被罚分，但Tanith说他们在练习里只失误过一次，当时她的上衣吊带松脱，所以必须在接帽子和防走光中二选一，她果断地选择了后者。

希望之星DW继续以出色的表现给BA制造了严重威胁，他们的分数咬得很紧，最终的冠军归属将由明天的自由舞定胜负。

祝双方都有上乘发挥，预祝BA实现五连冠的壮举！

Champs maintain lead despite slipAgosto has trouble with twizzles

By Lynn Rutherford, special to icenetwork.com



(01/24/2008) - Nobody is perfect.


Two acknowledged masters of the twizzles, Ben Agosto and Charlie White, both had small but uncharacteristic missteps on the one-foot turn in their folk/country original dances this evening in Saint Paul.

"I put my foot down," said the 25-year-old Agosto.

"It was just a stupid mistake; I lost my focus for a second. I better not do it again, because there is no need to lose any points when you don't have to. Aside from that, I thought it was a great performance."

"It's the strongest we've done all season," added partner Tanith Belbin. "We controlled our elements, but skated with a lot of energy. We've made some obvious improvements since the Grand Prix Final; our elements were good, aside from our trip."

The Olympic silver medalists opened their Appalachian Hoedown with the toe-tapping "Cotton-Eyed Joe," then transitioned gracefully into a country waltz. Except for Agosto's slip, they didn't put a foot wrong.

They even had the confidence to playfully pass Agosto's battered black hat back and forth during their closing rotational lift. That's a risky move, since a dropped prop means an automatic one-point deduction.

"We've only dropped the hats once, in practice," Belbin said. "That time, my top was coming down. It was either drop the hat or grab the top. I decided to go for the top."

The champs earned 64.29 points, good enough for first place in the segment. Agosto's error dropped their twizzle sequence to Level 2, with a -.07 grade of execution (GOE). They have 106.15 points overall and take a 2.87-point lead into the free dance.

White and partner Meryl Davis, the two 20-year-olds who train alongside Belbin and Agosto in Canton, Mich., are hot on their elders' heels.


The young couple's only mistake came when White, usually a superb twizzler, faltered slightly on the first of his turns.

"I had one more [twizzle] than Meryl," White explained. "I missed grabbing my blade on the first turn, and we need to do four twizzles [with a grabbed blade] to get Level 4, so I did one extra."

That minor mishap did not seem to affect their score, and the rest of their Russian folk dance to the familiar "Kalinka" was near flawless. They gained five Level 4 elements and a bevy of +2 GOE's from the judges.

"We had lots of energy; we tried to get the crowd into it," White said. "I'm pleased with our scores. We are where we want to be."

"There were a few bobbles, but the overall quality of the program was good," Davis added.

There's been a change in costuming since the program's competitive debut at Skate America earlier this season: White's snappy black cap is gone.

"Yeah, the cap got nicked," the boyish White said. "It made me look too young. I can't grow a beard yet, so we have to find other ways to help me look mature."

The couple earned 62.69 points for the dance, and their total element score, 33.37, was .81 higher than Belbin and Agosto's. Overall, they are 2.87 points off the lead.


"The greatest motivation we have is training where we do, with the teams we do," Belbin said. "Meryl and Charlie's level of skating is so high, you can't help but do your best. There are no guarantees; we have to train and work hard every day, because they are so close behind."


Third in the compulsory dance, Kimberly Navarro and Brent Bommentre maintained their position with a crowd-pleasing African Harvest dance, choreographed by 1980 Olympic champion Natalia Linichuk.

The popular couple exploded with energy, opening with a stunning straight-line lift with

送上几张今天的靓照

BA在OD比赛中，太喜欢大美女的神态了。

DW在比赛中

DW在K&C，Meryl小鸟依人的样子可爱极了，如果他们是一对该有多好

Evan在男单比赛前的热身，祝明天比赛发挥自己的最好水平。Good luck!

好像这次要中间隔一天才是FD比赛，在我们这边应该是星期日早上开始……好紧张好紧张，感觉这次OD，BA和DW的情绪都很高，至少我看来不像是紧张的样子，可但是都有疏漏，不知道为什么~~

另外我看了全部OD的比赛录像，觉得这次在全美Senior赛场上的真是年轻面孔好多的说，年龄都是20岁上下的样子，看上去很fresh，节目也很有意思，只可惜很多对都是技术跟不上编排。Anyway，看到现在美国冰舞新生力量这么多，B/A的功劳是不可磨灭的：）

evan,好好比赛~看到你在冰场上就很开心
我似乎总是游离着,不够关注也不很在乎结果...你说你的性格里有随性的成分,似乎我也是....

今年的冬天出奇得寒冷,也和死亡了有太多的联系.....越来越喜欢,看到冰上的纯净,那么安静美丽,似乎惟有在冬天依旧热闹着的冰场方能让纠结的情绪放松下来~

一直想整理下关于你的一切情绪,却总也安静不下来,只是在雪花飞舞的时候,在路面成为了冰场的时候,突然想skating,于是那么思念你,[em87
