Hi, Guest - I got the link to your forum and passed it on to Elena. She says it's fine to use any of her photos on your forum. Please use Elena Viviani as your photo credit.
I assume you know how to copy them from here - if not, let me know.
We want USA fans to get to know skaters from other countries, so we'd welcome any news about the Chinese team. If you're not a member, feel free to continue to post on the Guest forum and I'll copy the info to the Chinese thread.

Hooray for Allison Baver. So glad she had a good day at the LT Championships.... bronze after such a short time is not bad. I don't want to lose her in ST, but am hoping she finds loads of success in sport for the new year.

I remember just a few weeks ago she said she was going to her first Long-Track practice. Good work, Allison!

Re: KDS
Great discussion and posts by all!
There may be a silver lining in all of this - hopefully a wake-up call for USS and those utilizing questionable coaching practices. USS acted in response to public exposure by investigative journalism by a major newspaper ( kudos to Amy Shipley for her balanced reportage, I remember her SST articles during the Olys, she must be a skating fan!) and directives by the USOC. Hopefully they will reassess their protocols and raise their bar in the aftermath.
Sadly, KDS in all likelihood coaching in the manner he was coached. My thinking is that he should have evolved and distanced himself from that "learned" behavior by his many opportunities and exposures to life outside of Korea, plus he is young enough to escape that old guard type of thinking. He was definitely aware of the Korean "scandal" years ago that was mentioned by Sk8er and cannot plead ignorance. This situation will have great impact in Korea as coaching jobs cross all boundaries and I am sure employment opportunities ouside of Korea are coveted and necessary. The depth of Korean skaters are well-known, which will create a surplus of Korean coaches vying for a finite number of positions in the years to come. I am hoping that if abusive "cycles" cannot be broken by personal motivation, then perhaps professional and monetary survival will. The coach with a clean history will be much more marketable than a suspect one, and hopefully USS will pay more attention to this aspect of the interview process. The problem that will remain after all is said and done is the subjective perception of "abusive" vs tough coaching, but I am hoping to see changes in the present paradigm.

Hi, been there (Guest) - thanks for your post! I moved it to the USSDC thread. Guests are always allowed to post on the Game Day Chat boards, so feel free to comment there anytime you like - and please join us for some of our live chats during the World Cups! Anytime you see the 'Reply' option on a board, it's open to guests. The only boards that are members-only are the individual skater threads and the Other Skating Stuff board. Non-members would need to use this thread for comments on those boards.

Welcome to the board, @donna Salmon! I've moved your post over to the Boycott thread. I kind'a use this board as a screening area for the members-only boards - then I move the posts to the appropriate boards/threads. (It helps me to weed out the spammers and those who might be inclined to launch 'stealth attacks' on any of the skaters). Please join us again soon!

Thanks, @been there - we'd certainly be most welcoming of Dr. Zimbalist... Just a quick question: You are one of our 'trusted' guests - and as such, I move your posts from this Guest board to whatever thread seems most appropriate. Generally it's obvious, but in this instance, it is not. Which thread would you like this to go on?

I haven't heard which thread the 4 recent posts by Been There and Buddy were intended for - though the ones by Buddy were obviously in response to Been There, and would go to the same place. I moved them to the Boycott thread - 'hope that was correct! As I said above, in most cases it's obvious - but when we have 3 or 4 very active threads that sometimes overlap a bit (i.e., Athlete Funding, Board of Directors News, the Boycott thread, etc.), it's not always so easy to read the Guest's intent. It would be awesomely helpful to me if y'all would put a line at the top of your post with the name of the thread you'd like me to put it in, 'cause I really want to merge your posts into the appropriate conversation - thanks so much!

On Baver's thread, last page, posted by Lori on 1/30/2014 regarding the fanshare link. When I tried to open it, I got a virus threat warning.

On Baver's thread, last page, posted by Lori on 1/30/2014 regarding the fanshare link. When I tried to open it, I got a virus threat warning. I have a very reputable anti-virus service on this site and I haven't seen any warnings - but to be on the safe side, I removed the link. Thanks for the heads-up, and I will check with my security about it!
