Random Thoughts – March 24th
The Women of the World Championships
We're deep into March, which can only mean one thing. It means we're in the throes of the biggest, most exciting, most anticipated, most talked about championship tournament in all of sports. All next weekend everyone you know will be riveted to the tourney and it's all your office will be talking about Monday morning. Of course I'm talking about the World Figure Skating Championships, which are being held in Los Angeles all this week. And since Barstool Sports has staked its claim as THE online resource for all things figure skating, there's no better place to offer a comprehensive preview of the event. If by "comprehensive" you mean "salaciously grading the hottest women of the competition like a pervert." Because say what you will about figure skating, but it has hands down the best looking female athletes of any sport. Girls who would be pin up calendar fodder if they played tennis or golf typically aren't fit to sharpen skate blades for the goddesses of the ISU. 
Since legendary two-time Olympic champion and Playboy model Katarina Witt is the standard by which all toe-pick smokeshows will forever be judged, here are this year's entrants and how they grade out on the Witt Scale:
