First blog entry of 2018. This past weekend, there was no shortage of drama in San Jose with the US Figure Skating Championships. What's most notable is that you can finish in the top 3 (as Ross Miner did in the men's championships) but not get automatically selected to the Olympic team.

As an American of Chinese ancestry born to immigrant parents, I am very proud that 4 of the 6 skaters selected to represent the United States are also American born to immigrant parents from China, Taiwan and Japan.

Congratulations to all.
Best of luck to you in Pyeongchang,
