RT if you love  #olympics or
#FigureSkating #irony Here's the rub, Mr. Ottavio Chinquanta , the Italian President of the International Skating Union (ISU) seems to want to eliminate the short program from championship events...

If his wish had been granted at last week's 2014 World Championships in Japan, neither medal won by his native Italian team members would've been awarded.
Gold in Ice Dance to Anna Cappelini & Luca Lannotte
Bronze in Ladies to Carolina Kostner

In fact, Italian skaters would won no medals at all...
Just wondering if he would like to reconsider ?

The sport I love seems to be disappearing ! I hate that!

#RIP Hey #FigureSkating Friends,
So sad to hear of the passing of Peter Burrows!
He was always kind to us... and we know he will be missed by the entire skating community...  For those who don't know Peter Burrows was the coach of many champions skaters (along with my dear friend Mary Lynn Gelderman) such as Elaine Zayak, Mike Chack, Kyoko Ina & Jason Dungjen... and even Dorothy Hamill at one time... He'll be missed by all of them and the entire skating community! RIP...
Love always,
John
