I've had a very fun afternoon viewing many varied items.
I began with the National Figure Skating Championships: the short programs.
Let me say that even without Michelle Kwan and Sasha Cohen, we have a formidable ladies group. The top six all skated gorgeously, pretty much flawlessly, too, and with great assurance.
Of course, short programs are very specific in the content, and often people excel at them and then fall apart in the long with more elements and the exhaustion factor taking control of one's abilities. Still, we've seen lots of sloppy, disastrous short programs in the past, and I can't remember a short program compeitition with so many outstanding performances turned in by all the top ranked ladies. And they're all teenagers.
