2008-02-10 07:39 Peter Doucet Loss of a GT Speed Skater: From Loss of a GT Speed Skater; 'Scott Storey 24 years old was killed in a head on collision Monday afternoon around 4pm, while riding his motorcycle. He was struck by a 19 year old young man that was driving while doing drugs and ran a stop sign. Scott started skating and competed in 95' with GT Speed in Columbus and in Atlanta. He was still part of our team and practice with us to stay in shape. It is so sad that we now have to add Scott's name to a memorial plate that we have at the skate center for his Dad that passed away in December of 2000. Please take a moment to pray for Scott's young wife and his mother. GT Speed Coaches and 4 other skaters will carry his casket at his Funeral...'.
ST World Cup: The ISU Samsung Short Track Speed Skating World Cup will enter its final day of competition tomorrow. Catch up on all the results here- looks like USA ladies came 2nd and 3rd in the 1500m. USA came 3rd and 4th in the men's 1000m and Canada's Charles Hamelin won the 500m.
Flyin Brian has some coverage of the event; see SLC ST World Cup- in the video below, watch the Korean AND listen to the commentary. Hehehe, it's really good stuff!
Blogs: Candy Wong is in Florida- she's been putting updates that make me drool; 73km In One Day and In Miami. The food looks way too good. I'm glad I'm not there. Actually, I wish I was there...
Find out what the deal is with the planning of this year's World Inline Cup and Swiss Inline Cup in World Cup Topics for 2008- in a recent post, Bill Begg wrote the bad stuff and also the NOW THE WARM & FUZZIES; 'Well some might think that things have been tough leading into the 2008 season I have to agree. But in spite off that 2008 will be the best contested event ever, In the mens & especially in the womens grade, lets just run the comb through where things are at.
1/ Management changeover, with no real experience in a sport specific Business, always going to be a tough assignment, at the best of times.
2/ Our long term Seoul Korean Sponsor Kia comming to the end of there sponsorship term., unfortunately between the game of Chess with management change arounds, no Focus could go on finding a new sponsor.
3/ With the European football cup in Switzerland, the security issues have made it very Difficult for Iguana to work around, with many date alterations required.
4/ Then we had the ill-advised wisdom of trying at the last minute to change the mens team numbers to 4 instead of 5, lucky they listened to slow down the groundswell of discontent from many team owners & skaters alike.
5/ Now we only have the problem of a finalized program, as they still strive for possible other Asian events, utilizing the same trip & have to fine tune the Swiss Calender
NOW THE WARM & FUZZIES.
a) More teams than ever, not National back up teams,but real contendors.
b) Holland & Italy on Board, as new venues a real big factor.
c) Live Internet TV coverage of Europe WIC events with Podium as a partner.
d) The Best ever Sports Insider Magazine, to show off our Sport to others.
I believe the best racing ever,lets hope we can slip a few primes in to liven up the action'
