Personal Comment:  Well, if I was there, I'd get to have actual 'media access'. I know, elderly, adult skater would actually get to ask worshipful technical question of my IDOLS!

Since I'm not going to be there I will not get to ask questions. However if I had media access, here's the questions I'd ask

First questions to Weir, and Davis & White:
1. Boots and Blades
2. ROH
3. How many hours between sharpenings

Questions to Johnny Weir:
1. You used asymmetric costumes and the fur tassel to attract the eye during spins and jumps. Did you believe this made the rotation seem faster, or more visually diverting as oppose to costumes made of solid blocks of black? Was this intended as actual 'science trick' of the eye, or was it an artistic decision?

Question for Davis and White
1. Do you use dance blades? At what level should an ice dancer adopt dance blades?  Is it worth it at Silver level?
2. What kind of physical off ice training did you have to adopt to get that amazing lift? Because that thing looks like it could really pull your shoulders if not done just right and you had really good strength training to support it.

Question For Brian Boitano:
1. Brian Orser no longer jumps. You're only a couple of years younger. First, do you see yourself quitting jumping in the near future? Or do you have any special personal training to keep yourself jump ready?
2. Do you see figures as contributing to strengthening skaters bodies as well as skating skills?

 I'm not going to be there, but if I was, those are the questions I'd ask!
