KENT SOMERS Rview Sports Editor BOUNTIFUL With the majority planning taken care of for the 3j)84 National Figure Skating Champi- onships scheduled for Salt Lake City in January, it would seem the com- petitions directors have only two things left to do: 1.) Worry, and 2.) Worry some more. ;But three of the planners seemed as ipool as the Bountiful Ice Rink while an- awering questions about the Champion- ship scheduled for Jan. 17 through the 22 in Salt Lake and Bountiful. !.

Over half of the tickets have been sold and hundreds or requests are coming in daily, accord- ing to Dimmi Weller, ticket chairman, Prices start at $4 for the figures at the Bountiful rink, which will be held at various times Jan. 17, 18 and 19, ac- cording to Tateoka. For the main events at the Salt Palace, tickets will range from $8 to $15, and tickets can be bought at the Salt Palace or any Da- tatix outlet. But even after all the planning and or- ganizing, whether or not visitors enjoy Salt Lake City and Bountiful and the competition may depend on something organizers cant cure with phone calls,., an the weather.

But many of the competitors will be flying in early, possibly avoiding travel problems, to get used to Utah s altitude. The event should give Americans, and in particular Utahns, a preview of the nations Olympic prospects just six weeks before the Winter Games and al- so features two world champions, said Tateoka. Scott Hamilton and Rosalynn Sum- ners are the reigning world champions in their divisions and the dance pair team of Judy Blumberg and Michael Seibert are the current national champi- ons and are ranked third in the world.
