    Lysacek not part of Grand Prix season

    http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/figure...ory?id=5281859

    COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Next season's Grand Prix assignments are out and Evan Lysacek's name is nowhere to be found.

    The Olympic champion received no assignments for the six Grand Prix events, a possible indication he will leave competitive skating -- or at least take the upcoming season off. Lysacek has said he plans to continue, but he also skipped last March's worlds, where he was defending champion. South Korea's Kim Yu-na, the women's champion in Vancouver, drew assignments to Cup of China and Cup of Russia.

    U.S. Olympians Johnny Weir and Jeremy Abbott will compete, as will Rachael Flatt and Mirai Nagasu.

    Ice dance silver medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White will participate at Skate America in Portland, Ore., and at NHK Trophy in Nagoya, Japan. Fellow Olympians Emily Samuelson and Evan Bates also will be at NHK Trophy, as well as Trophee Eric Bompard in France.

    Two-time Olympian Weir was assigned to Skate Canada and Trophee Bompard. Abbott got NHK Trophy and Cup of Russia, the only American man scheduled to go to Moscow.

    Nagasu, who was fourth in Vancouver, will skate at Trophee Bompard and Cup of China in Beijing. Flatt got Skate America and NHK Trophy.

    U.S. pairs champions Caydee Denney and Jeremy Barrett were assigned NHK and Skate America. Fellow American Olympians Amanda Evora and Mark Ladwig are headed to Cup of China and Cup of Russia.

    Michelle Kwan: 1994 US Figure Skating Championships Long Program - In third place heading towards the free skate or commonly known as the long program, thirteen year old Michelle Kwan skates a terrific long program to move up to second place and clinch the second the spot for the Winter Olympic Games in Lillhammer, Norway. However do the circumstances of the Nancy Kerrigan, the USFSA and IOC place Kerrigan on the Olympic Team over Michelle. Michelle would go to the Winter Olympic Games as the first alternate.

    Rachael Flatt gets SV Ice Show off and skating

    Evan Lysacek, Joannnie Rochette also due

    Reigning U.S. ladies figure skating queen Rachael Flatt, 17, a recent graduate from Cheyenne Mountain High School in Colorado Springs, Colo. will headline the Sun Valley Ice Show's Independence Day show July 3.

    Flatt is just one of the 2010 Winter Olympic figure skating stars who will light up Sun Valley Outdoor Ice Rink during the 74th annual Sun Valley Ice Show season—11 shows starting June 26 through Sept. 4.

    Another big show is July 24 with two headliners—six-time Canadian ladies figure skating queen Joannie Rochette and three-time U.S. men's king Johnny Weir, the flamboyant world bronze medalist.

    Olympic skating viewers will remember Olympic bronze medalist Rochette, 24, as the Montreal-born skater who tugged the heartstrings of the Vancouver audience because of the sudden death of her mother just prior to the Olympics.

    This year's ice show is full of Olympic ice skating heroes.

    Reigning Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek headlines the Aug. 14 show. The last two American Olympic ice dancing silver medalists are on board—Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto (2006 Torino) Aug. 7 and Meryl Davis and Charlie White (2010 Vancouver) on Aug. 21.

    Olympic gold medalists Viktor Petrenko (July 17) and Brian Boitano (Aug. 28) are due to perform, along with popular U.S. women Alissa Czisny (Aug. 7) and Sasha Cohen (July 31 and Sept 4).

    Each Sun Valley Ice Show from June 26 through Sept. 4 starts at dusk and lasts about 70 minutes. Sun Valley Resort is resuming its dinner buffet service for $98 adult/child and also has a $62 Sun Room Terrace show-only reserved ticket.

    This year's bleacher reserved seating ranges from $32 to $58. All tickets will be priced $5 higher for one show and one show only, July 3.

    Nonrefundable tickets are now on sale at the Sun Valley Recreation Office, 622-2135. Tickets also may be purchased online at seats.sunvalley.com. In addition, people can buy tickets at the gate before the shows.

    Day care at the Sun Valley Playschool during ice shows is available by advance reservation at 622-2288.
