Kyle competed at US Championships in SLC (Jan 6-8, 2012). In the 1500M B Final, he had a bad fall. Claude Gilbert’s dad, Fred, caught the pileup on video - Kyle is in the center of the pack, in solid red. Robert Lawrence is just ahead of him, Adam Callister is just behind him. Robert caught an edge and spun out, hitting Kyle in the throat with his helmet. As both of them went into the pads, Adam Callister went airborne as he tried to avoid them, but had a most unfortunate landing - I don’t know how he didn’t break his tailbone! Kyle finished the race, but was later transported to the hospital - he was able to return to the Oval, but both Kyle and Robert were unable to continue racing for the rest of the weekend. Here are Kyle’s results: 13th Overall 9-Lap Time Trial – 12th 4-Lap Time Trial - 3rd 1500M - 5th (B Final) 500M – Did Not Start (Quarterfinal) 1000M – Did Not Start (Quarterfinal) 3000M – Did Not Start (B Final) Kyle (in solid red) competes in the 1500M B Final.

We always welcome and promote the skaters' efforts to fund their training, and Kyle Uyehara is working for Cutco this season to help out with these massive expenses. If you're familiar with Cutco, you probably know that the reps get paid just for giving the presentation - a quick and easy way that you can help Kyle. No purchase required, and the presentation can be done over the phone. I did it. I just got off the phone with Kyle for a 'virtual' appointment, where he led me through the web slides & videos and told me his goals (he is in a sales contest this month that ends on July 24). He told me to allow about 45 min to an hour, but it only took about 35 minutes, because I already own some of the products and am familiar with the company. (Expensive - but my Cutco pieces are the best quality I've ever owned, and Made In America!) And there was absolutely no pressure to buy - though I did put a few things on a 'Wish List'. Kyle is truly one of the nicest skaters you'll ever meet, and will be a top contender in the next Olympic Cycle - Michelle has more info on the Ice & Times Blog, including a point of contact if you're inclined to help: therockerfund.wordpress.com/2014/07/14/help-fund-a-future-olympic-hopeful/
