We have so much fun off and on the ice. One day you will go to Oberstdorf the big adult international competition! Hint Hint! Put this on your bucket list :) I went last year and hope to go back in 2015 if all goes well!Lorihttp://iceskatingforeveryone.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866409242270507018.post-16956129986249159362013-04-16T09:40:03.339-07:002013-04-16T09:40:03.339-07:00I'm so jealous you got to go, Diane!

I'll pick up and train again when there is another midwest nats (probably 3-4 years). Flying anywhere from here is $500-$600, and with hotels and entries, it's just too much. Nats was in Chicago the year before I passed my bronze test. That was a major bummer to miss! (I missed a minneapolis too, but I wasn't ready yet for that one.)Jessimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442665425448000014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866409242270507018.post-82885436947801725182013-04-16T07:31:00.652-07:002013-04-16T07:31:00.652-07:00Thanks Jessica, I knew I would get some of that in...Thanks Jessica, I knew I would get some of that information tangled.

I was able to compete- but didn't have the funds to fly there! <br /><br />Just a small correction "must qualify to compete at Nationals by placing 1st-4th at Sectionals" - this is just for the championship events. There are also open events for these levels, they are less prestigous to win, but if you couldn't get to sectionals or didn't qualify- you can still go and compete at nationals.<br /><br />There is also a championship (must qualify through sectionals) event for Gold. <br /><br />The championship events are not divided by age. <br /><br />If there are enough skaters, the open events are, but sometimes they are combined (senior ladies 1-2-3 was combined, for example). Some of the championship skaters will also compete in the open event.Jessimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442665425448000014noreply@blogger.com
