Tamara skated in the US Single-Distance Championships in Salt Lake City (Sept 27-30, 2012). She finished 6th overall and was named as a discretionary pick for the Fall World Cup team - but she did not go to the Canadian World Cups (I heard she had an injury in the final week of practice). I guess we will see next week if she joins the team for the Japan/China World Cups… Here are her results:

6th Overall
9-Lap Time Trial - 3rd
4-Lap Time Trial - 7th
1500M(1) – 5th (A Final)

Well, it looks like Tamara IS on the list of skaters for Nagoya, replacing Lana Gehring - who for some reason isn't skating:

Tamara skated in the American Cup Final - Omaha, Nebraska (March 15-17, 2013). I remember that she fell in the 500M(2) Quarterfinal. Perhaps she was injured in that race, which would explain the subsequent DNS’s. If so, we hope it wasn’t serious and that she’s back to training for next season! Here are her results:

10th Overall
1500M(1) - 2nd (B Final)
500M(1) - 3rd (B Final)
1000M(1) - 5th (A Final)
500M(2) - DNS (C Final)
1000M(2) - DNS (Quarterfinal)
1500M(2) - DNS (Semifinal)
