I have to agree, I would definitely take the risk too, and yeah I agree, women have to try and get everything done earlier, which I guess is why you get cases like Emily's. <br /><br />Also, wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall in that house?Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02146207754890578450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250891436639250550.post-16015391469721117462009-11-15T09:44:47.868+00:002009-11-15T09:44:47.868+00:00You know, I've always wondered how much Charli...You know, I've always wondered how much Charlie White, Alex Shibutani, Evan Bates, and Trevor Young (all elite U.S. ice dancers, all roommates, all attending the University of Michigan) ever see of the inside of a classroom. <br /><br />But I suspect that singles skaters might have to train longer hours? I mean, Matt Savoie deferred law school. Armin Mahbanoozadeh deferred Dartmouth. Loren Galler-Rabinowitz deferred Harvard. Curran Oi put skating on hold to attend MIT. These people have all medalled at US Nats. David Mitchell was a full-time student at Tufts throughout his eligible career, but he didn't achieve any more success on the international level than the abovementioned (he was Loren's partner). <br /><br />Personally if it was me I would gladly take the 50% chance of have a 2:1 in hand in three years' time, than take the chance of winning no medals, making no money and maybe suffering a career-ending injury to boot. Also, age is on the side of the men, who peak much later than women. I mean, how many of us can afford to take two years off to be Mormon missionaries like ice dancer Chris Orbzansky (and then come back!)?<br /><br />Anyway, sorry for rambling on in your comment section. Great blog - keep up the good work!Lyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03080857823950302023noreply@blogger.com
