Worlds Will Be in Los Angeles in 2009!

It was announced yesterday that the World Figure Skating Championships will be in Los Angeles in 2009.

I hope I can go. The last Worlds I attended was at the Broadmoor World Arena in 1975 in Colorado Springs. It was an experience I will never forget.

I still have my ticket stub from that Worlds - "All Event Ticket - $32.00." Wow...prices have sure changed!

In 1975, I was asked to review the event for a local college newspaper. (Yes...I began writing about skating VERY long ago.)

Enjoy my review of 1975 Worlds and do remember, as you read it, that Dorothy Hamill had not yet won the Olympics when this was written and Michelle Kwan had not been born yet!
