Yeah, 'cause what we all need the first weeks in September is pro football; college football; and/or another round of Golf somewhere in the US of A. Don't get me wrong, I like all 3. However, it would be nice to have something NEW to watch. We get to see every type of ice dancing there is. Why not Short Track? Send those emails to NBC & USOC & whomever else

Yeah, SoCal IS sending a large 'delegation' to Trials - Wilma's gonna be a busy lady! I'm not sure that all of those you mentioned have qualified for Trials, though. The link mentioned above - www.goldrushskate.org/GoldRushSkate/OlympicTrials/Profiles/Profiles.shtml shows the qualified skaters as: MEN: Eduardo Alvarez Tom Anderson Ryan Bedford Kyle Carr J R Celski Simon Cho Chris Creveling Buddy Gurr Alex Izykowski Travis Jayner J P Kepka Levi Kirkpatrick Robert Lawrence Charles Ryan Leveille Joey Lindsey Anthony Lobello Jordon Malone Apolo Anton Ohno Ansis Robs Walter Rusk Jeff Simon Kyle Uyehara Barry Winslow LADIES: Petra Acker Allison Baver Kristen Biondo Kimberly Derrick Alyson Dudek Tamara Frederick Maria Cruz Garcia Lana Gehring Mary Grace Lezleigh Jaworski Hyo Jung (Halie) Kim Tina Koeing Skyler McCormick Sonia Milan Katherine Reutter Rachel Skrocki Jessica Smith Cherise Wilkins Carly Wilson I think this means that as of mid-July, these are the skaters who made the 1000M cutoff time in a US-sanctioned competition between 12/1/2007 and 8/28/2009. (1:38 for women, 1:30 for men) It doesn't mean that all of them will enter (i.e., Alex & a couple of others have retired), but I think it means that these are the only ones who are eligible to enter. (?) There are a couple more small competitions between now and August 28 where I would assume skaters could still qualify, and SoCal had a time trial within the last couple of weeks that might have qualified a few more.

Okay, Gasp, you can slap me - Morgan registered but isn't on the 'qualified' list... So what do I know? You'll be happy to know that Katherine registered today!

Well Lori, why should the lists make any more sense than the rules? LOL Wonder if these So Cal kids will try to qualify at SLC in late August?
Yep, I'm keeping an eye on "the list", Lori.
And I'm so ticked there will be no media coverage of the Oly Trials. Who is short-circuiting this process, USOC or NBC or..............

Interesting little tidbit. I guess these will be around for us to view when we get to Marquette ______________________________________________________________________ Outdoor Decoupage Finishes for Harsh Climates I am decoupaging photos of short track speedskaters and various logos on a plywood skate. These will be mounted outside on light posts in our community to welcome/celebrate the U.S. Olympic speedskater trials in September and the World Cup in November.

So I was researching what to do and see - and very importantly, where to eat, while in Marquette. And then I thought, it made A LOT more sense to ask a local.
So here, courtesy of one of our favorite skaters, Barry Winslow, is his take on where to eat around town.
ahh!!! Michelle, good to hear from you!!! hmm...lots of good local joints to grab a bite to eat up here. I would suggest Casa Calabria for some real Italian, the pasta shop if you're into pasta, Vango's for a great pizza and greek food, Aubree's has amazing pizza, Villa Capri has great Italian, border grill has some good mexican burritos and quesadillas, the rover pub is a great irish place, and of course there are tons of chains such as red lobster. umm regarding coffee, there is a starbucks on US 41, baby cakes is a small muffin eatery on washington street with good coffee, dead river coffee is my favorite small coffee house on Baraga street, and if you like bakery's with fresh bread, calzones, donuts, and coffee, hit up the Huron Mtn. Bread company right on your way into town. That's about all that I can ponder off the top of my head! Safe travels and enjoy trials. Hopefully I'll have a chance to see you and say hi when you get into town! take care.
-Barry

You only have 3 more days... Well, Chris, Joey and Travis have obliged - 3 down, 5 to go! Some additional info: Tony Chung says that he WILL be tweeting/blogging from Oly Trials provided there is wireless access from inside the venue! Bookmark his Twitter link: twitter.com/shorttrackHDHe'll most likely post links on Twitter to his videos/blogs when there's news...
