35. I think their point was that many of these skaters

were not in the top rank, and didn't know the conventions. Yeah, it did sound kind of bitchy. But if you get past some of the bitchy comments, you can learn a lot from these folks about artistry, how difficult the spins are, how you have to set them up, and the skill it takes.

It is always amazing to me, though, how sportswriters trash these athletes from their armchairs....
