...estimated that the production drew almost 4,000 to two performances on Friday and Saturday nights, raising between $35,000 and $40,000. The production has yielded a total of over $2.2 million in donations since 1970. The event featured Russian husband- wife duo and Olympic gold medalists Ilia Kulik and Ekaterina Gordeeva. The crowd of Harvard students, alumni, and Jimmy Fund cancer patients cheered loudly for each performer. Manuel Rincon-Cruz ’09 said he enjoyed every moment as he saw the Evening of Champions for the first time. “The whole show was awesome...
...able to obtain eight hotel rooms for seven of the skaters and their guests, and about 17 of the skaters will live in the Houses. EWC tries to accommodate the skaters as much as possible, according to Kukunova. Certain skaters requested hotels because of special needs.

American Michael Weiss, 21, from Fairfax, Va., will hope that the big names crash and burn, and that he lands the viciously tough quad Lutz he two-footed while finishing second at the nationals last month...
...hardest jumps, the quad Lutz. His landing was two-footed, but if the applause meter was any indication, he clearly won the testosterone title. Nevertheless, the judges ranked Eldredge higher, giving him his fifth National title. Both men will travel to Nagano. They will face Russia's Ilia Kulik, justly hailed as a Baryshnikov on ice, and Canada's Elvis Stojko, who may add a second quad jump to his long program at Nagano...
