Scenes from the figure skating championships

The figure skating championships are underway in St. Paul, bringing with it a grab bag full of traditions. One of these is throwing flowers and stuffed animals on the ice after a particularly moving performance.

MPR’s Nikki Tundel is working on a story about the behind-the-scenes thrill of it all, and she sends along this picture of what somebody tossed on the ice after a performance the other day.
