Extractions: by Alfred Lansing In the summer of 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton set off aboard the Endurance bound for the South Atlantic. The goal of his expedition was to cross the Antarctic overland, but more than a year later, and still half a continent away from the intended base, the Endurance was trapped in ice and eventually was crushed. For five months Shackleton and his crew survived on drifting ice packs in one of the most savage regions of the world before they were finally able to set sail again in one of the ship's lifeboats. Alfred Lansing's Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage is a white-knuckle account of this astounding odyssey. Oztrack Ice Skating Bookshop

Extractions: Just before the Civil War, a skating craze, accompanied by a dancing craze, swept America, and during this time, Haines leapt into the limelight with his daring combination of both skating and dance. He was a true revolutionary, for in a country where figure skating had laboriously developed a stiff and rigid style, the free and expressive movements of his virtuoso performances were frowned on, if not actually condemned. Haines claimed to be the champion of America in 1863; however, at that time many self-proclaimed "championships" were held without any legitimate or official claim to the title, so Haines' title cannot be substantiated. At any rate, the continued cool reception given to him in his own country prompted him to go to Europe, where he was warmly and enthusiastically received. When he arrived in Vienna, he received the warmest reception of all; he was an immediate success. Little wonder, in the home of the graceful Viennese Waltz! It was here, as a direct result of his pioneering performances, that the so-called "International Style of Figure Skating" was born. It wasn't until many years later – in the first decade of this century – that this style finally came home to America. Although local skating clubs had been formed and competitions held since the middle of the 19th century, the sport functioned informally, and some years were to pass before the formation of the United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA) in 1921. Only then was the machinery established that has guaranteed the growth in this country of the modern, highly-developed sport of figure skating. The USFSA is comprised of member clubs, individual members and associate members.

Biography biographies, in 1997 after moving there for one year and beginning her ice dancepartnership with Naomi and Peter's Official Website (c) Figure skaters Online, http://www.naomiandpeter.com/biography.html
Extractions: Naomi began ballet training when she was 3 years old and debuted as a ballerina at age 6 in "The Nutcracker." She began figure skating at age 8 and continued performing in "The Nutcracker" every year until the age of 15 when she found an ice dancing partner. Before devoting her attention to ice dancing, Naomi expanded her dance talents with a ballet/modern dance scholarship to the Interlochen Arts Academy in Interlochen, Michigan in 1990. She also performed with the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Ballet Company. Naomi graduated from Lake Placid (NY) High School in 1997 after moving there for one year and beginning her ice dance partnership with Peter. At that time they were training with Natalia Dubova, but Naomi missed training with her former coaches, Igor Shpilband and Liz Coates, in Detroit and they decided to return to the Detroit Skating Club. Naomi had begun training with Igor when she was 12 and she and her mother lived in Allegan, Michigan, which was a 3-hour drive from Detroit. Naomi's Mom made this long drive every weekend so that Naomi could continue training with Igor.

She landed 3tl/3tl (stepped out the second jump), 3lutz/2tl, 3loop, 2a, 3lutz. She fell on the 3f and 2s. It was definitely a great performance from Anne-Sophie after a poor skate at the nationals. The program was well skated even if she lacked energy at the end. Some screen captures will be available tomorrow, along with the free dance screen captures. Yahoo has a photo of Anne-Sophie skating her free skate: 23rd january Sarah Abitbol & Stéphane Bernadis won the silver medal at the Europeans championships. But they made several mistakes in the program and won with the artistical marks. Indeed, Sarah did a double toe loop, single axel and put her hand down on the thrown triple loop. The thrown triple salchow was beautiful and it's nice to see that they have finally decided to stop doing "only" a thrown double axel where their rivals did a salchow. They have been interviewed by french tv after their program and they said that this medal was the "courage medal". Screen captures of their short and free programs have been uploaded

Extractions: You are here: Home Skating Reports Art on Ice 2002 Art on Ice 2002 in Lausanne Also check out the "Photos" section for photos of Art on Ice. When we entered the rink, we were sure that the show wouldn't be sold out, because for an European show it was a very big rink, but to our surprise it actually turned out to be sold out. Since the show was with live music, there was a stage on the ice (luckily on the opposite end of the rink from where we were sitting, our seats, even though they were only the 3rd category, turned out to be pretty much perfect, 2nd row in the corner), so the ice surface was a lot smaller than usually. The live musicians at the show were the Swiss rock band "Gotthard", a violinist called "Edvin Marton" and a female Swiss singer called "Eve Kay". I wasn't familiar with any of them, but luckily they turned out to be quite pleasant performers. The opening was to live music by gotthard, they performed a song called Let it rain. First Debbie Park came out and did some of her usual stuff, then she was joined by a group of female skaters called the Art on Ice Dancers, who did a number with a couple of jumps and spins. The opening was a bit boring, but not too bad, I would have prefered to see all the skaters though. Then the French presenter came out and did an introduction, which finally proved that my 3 years of learning French at school was a complete waste of time, because I couldnt understand anything at all, sigh.
