Whether she’s on the skating rink or somewhere else, this pixieish young woman moves like the wind. You just have to see her walk (or maybe we should say bounce) on her ultra-muscular legs to understand that Canada’s 2004 silver medallist simply does not stand still. Not only is she a speed demon, she’s also blessed with striking looks anchored by big blue eyes that express her unique blend of gentleness and determination. “She’s electrifying,” says long-time collaborator David Wilson, who also serves as choreographer for Joannie’s friend and rival, Cynthia Phaneuf. “They’re my two Quebec beau- ties,” he says with a chuckle. And she has a coy, playful side. When asked her weight, she declines to answer. “That’s not something you ask!” she says firmly. The past year has been a wonderfully successful one for her. After winning gold and bronze in two preliminary Grand Prix competitions, she finished third in the prestigious event’s finals, held in Beijing last December. “If someone had told me a year ago that I’d be in this competition, I’d have said they were nuts!” Her attention is now turned to the next winter Olympics, to be held in Turin in 2006. Joannie’s first priority is to gain expe- rience, before making a push for the podium in Vancouver in 2010. Choreographer Wilson naturally dreams of seeing her share that podium with his other protégé, Cynthia Phaneuf. “These two skaters will trade championships,” he predicts. “Here we have two exceptional athletes who will each put a distinctive mark on the history of Canadian figure skating.” JOANNIE ROCHETTE AIME LA VITESSE. Sur la patinoire comme à l’extérieur, ce petit bout de femme déplace du vent. Il suffit de la voir marcher, ou plutôt rebondir, sur ses jambes tout en muscles, pour comprendre que la vice-championne canadi- enne ne tient pas en place. Une vraie gazelle avec, en prime, un regard à faire fondre la glace. Des yeux bleus immenses, qui expriment à la fois sa douceur et sa détermination. « Elle est électrisante », observe son complice de longue date, David Wilson, qui signe également les chorégraphies de sa rivale et amie, Cynthia Phaneuf. « Ce sont mes deux belles “Québécoises” », lance-t-il à la blague, en accentuant son accent anglophone. Coquette jusqu’au bout des ongles, elle refuse même de dévoiler son poids. « C’est une question qui ne Photo: Canadian Press/Paul Chiasson se pose pas », répond-elle fermement.

Joannie souhaite d’abord y acquérir de l’expé- rience, avant d’envisager une médaille à Vancouver en 2010. Son chorégraphe caresse le rêve de la voir monter sur le podium avec, à ses côtés, sa benjamine Cynthia Phaneuf. « Les deux patineuses vont s’échanger les titres de championne », prédit David Wilson. « Nous avons entre les mains deux athlètes excep- tionnelles, qui marqueront chacune à leur façon l’histoire du patinage artistique canadien. » 28 DESTINATIONS SPORTS Marie-France Dubreuil & Patrice Lauzon WHEN SHE WAS VERY YOUNG, before she even donned her first skates, Marie-France Dubreuil already had Olympic dreams. “I was five years old and I would dance in the living room to the sounds of an old LP,” she recalls. “I kept telling my mom that one day I’d be on the podium.

  • Viewees’ Experiences Within the Structural Rules That Might Sustain the Young Ages and Tiny Body Types of the Participants
    University of Alberta How Elite Canadian Female Singles Figure Skaters Experience The Girlification of Elite Women’s Figure Skating by Corinne Ann Story A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation ©Corinne Ann Story Fall 2011 Edmonton, Alberta Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only.

Abstract The purpose of this research was to explore how the elite female Canadian figure skaters experience the women’s elite singles figure skating events as events in which the majority of participants are young girls and young women with girlish figures (Kestnbaum, 2003). Through a lens of critical feminism, I further interpreted the interviewees’ experiences within the structural rules that might sustain the young ages and tiny body types of the participants. I used semi- structured interviews (Patton, 2002) with ten former elite women singles skaters who competed within the Edmonton region.

That split second when her body is sailing over the ice. That tiny moment where she's spinning through the air. It's over in a heartbeat. But Erin Scherrer loves it nonetheless. "Jumping is the closest thing I'll ever get to really flying," says the young figure skater. Watching her practise, it's easy to see just how much she loves her jumps. Loops, axels, flips, lutzes. The Waterloo teen banged them out one after another at RIM Park late last week. She hit each one with great speed, always getting good height. These jumps helped her win a bronze medal at RECORD S T AFF the junior national championship last season. Figure skater Erin Scherrer, of Waterloo, will compete at the These jumps also helped her rise to the senior Canadian championship next month ranks this year. She recently placed first in a in London, Ont. qualifying round for the upcoming Canadian championship. "I really love jumping," said Scherrer, 17, who started skating when she was 3. "There's no way to describe it. You don't feel a lot in the air, but when you land, you just think, 'Wow.' " Wow because she's able to spin three times in the air in a split second. She's mastered her triple loop and now she's got her eye on the triple lutz.

I’m Jennifer Kirk, a former US ladies competitor and a three-time world team member. Dave: I’m David Lease. I’ve only ever done a layback spin in my socks in my kitchen, but I am a figure skating blogger and a current adult skater. Jenny: In this video, we’re gonna talk about the ladies event at the 2013 world championships, previewing it with Canadian journalist PJ Kwong. [PJ Kwong enters] Jenny: Let’s start with the reigning world champion, Carolina Kostner. Long program that has people talking this season. PJ, what is your impression of her long program, and coming in as the reigning world champion, how do you think she’s gonna handle that pressure? PJ: I think she’s gonna be world champion again. I love that Bolero program. I don’t think I’ve seen a better women’s program in I don’t know how long. In fact, it’s on my favorite – oh, let me just watch Carolina again. Even though she didn’t skate like perfectly at Europeans, I just think that it’s so innovative and so creative. I love it. And I think that everybody – she’ll have to skate. That’s the thing. There can’t be any mistakes. But if she skates like she can skate it, I think it’s hers to lose. That’s what I think. Jenny: Dave? I agree.
