Meagan Duhamel/Eric Radford (CAN) strike gold Meagan Duhamel/Eric Radford of Canada came from second place in the Short Program to strike the Pairs gold. China’s Wenjing Sui/Cong Han earned the silver medal and Aljona Savchenko/ Bruno Massot of Germany captured the bronze medal in their debut as a team at the World Championships. Duhamel/Radford put out a flawless performance to “Hometown Glory”, nailing a triple twist, side by side triple Lutz, throw quadruple Salchow, triple toe-double toe-double toe combination, a throw triple flip as well as four level-four elements. The Canadian Champions posted a new personal best of 153.81 points and totaled 231.99 points to defend their World title. “It was an out of body experience. We knew we were better than what we’ve done this season. It was to come here and do it for ourselves. Back in October at the Grand Prix, I thought we were out of contention for a medal at Worlds, I thought we would be fighting for 4th or 5th.

  • Proposal for Change
    Realizing Figure Skating’s Potential: Proposal for a New Competition Structure and Format! ! !Despite being an Olympic year, participant numbers in figure skating are down; audience ratings are down; revenues (media and sponsorship) are down. In the few steps below we fix these problems, broaden the field of figure skating, and prepare for its future.! !Quickly examine some astute comments, illuminating the problems, on the figure skating events at the 2014 Olympic Games: 1) “The Team Event seemed as if it were nothing more than an event created for television to gain viewers and revenue — it didn’t do anything to broaden the sport or make it more interesting.” 2) “How do you know what the jumps are and how they are judged?” 3) “Why do many of the skaters swing their arms around now? Does it add more points?” 4) “It’s so frantic; I can’t relate to the skaters the way I used to.” 5) “It looks like they threw in some of that new ‘flex dance’ or ‘Cirque du Soleil' on ice”. And 6) “I thought the new judging system was created so that there would be no more judging controversies.”! !To sum up the problems and changes needed (for the sake of simplicity we’ll focus on singles events, but this proposal is intended to address all disciplines, singles, pairs, dance): 1) The audience and skaters want something different in figure skating, similar to the way skiing has evolved into a multitude of different events. 2) The audience wants to be educated, to know exactly: which jump (throw, lift, etc.) is which; what makes a better jump and therefore gets a higher grade; what to look for in the execution of a jump; what the spins are (or pair spins, mohawks, twizzles, etc.) and how they are performed and judged.
