U.S. Nationals: The countdown is on

First of all, let me say sorry for not having posted in about three weeks! Between final projects, papers, exams and getting ready for graduation tomorrow, it's been a whirlwind!

Now, with nearly three weeks to go until the start of the 2010 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, skaters across the country are no doubt hard at work preparing. Being an Olympic year, this Nationals is undoubtedly the most important of the last quadrennium.

What are your thoughts, hopes, predictions, etc. for the event? What would be your dream Olympic team in all four disciplines? Leave a comment!

And don't forget -- I'll be blogging from Spokane (for the second weekend), so keep watching Minnesota Ice for practice reports, competition reports, photos, and other miscellaneous musings from the Olympic Trials!

I'm excited to read your blog from Spokane and envious that you'll be watching the event live!

My dream Olympic team: Evan, Johnny Jeremy for mens. Ashley and Alissa for ladies, Tanith/Ben, Meryl/Charlie, and Emily/Evan for dance, Keauna/Rockne and Amanda/Mark for pairs!

Congrats on graduating! I'm looking forward to following your posts from Spokane!

There are so many storylines going into this year's Nats it can make your head spin.

I'm curious to see how this two weekend spread will play out. I'm sure it will tire some coaches more than anything else.

I'm really looking forward to the men's and ice dance events. Belbin & Agosto have had lower scores than Davis & White all season, but they've not gone head to head yet. Johnny Weir is putting up a fight to make his second Olympics, Evan's been strong this fall, and Jeremy's got a title to defend. Not to mention Ryan Bradley can throw down a great quad and inspire a crowd!

Here's hoping Alissa Cziny will pull it all together too!
