Scientists Discover New Rodent Species Skater Michelle Kwan Goes for the Gold U.S. figure skater Michelle Kwan has been a national and world figure skating champion, but she has never won an Olympic gold medal. She is getting another chance to win that gold medal this month at the Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy. Kwan was chosen for the U.S. Olympic team January 27 after a five-person panel watched her skate. She was not able to skate at the U.S. national championships in January when the rest of the team was picked because she was hurt. Kwan asked to be part of the Olympic team anyway. Before deciding, the U.S. Olympic Committee asked the five people to watch her skate to see if she was well enough to go to the Olympics. The people liked what they saw, and put her on the team. NEWS WORD BOX This will be Michelle Kwan’s third and last try to win an Olympic Committee Olympic gold medal. Even though she is only 25, she panel competing championship already has skated in two Olympics. She came in second at the 1998 Olympics and third at the 2002 Olympics. She also has been the U.S. champion nine times and the world champion five times. The Olympics are held every four years and the national and world figure skating championships are held every year. Besides competing against skaters from all over the world for the gold medal, Kwan will have to skate against two other U.S. female skaters, Sasha Cohen, 21, and Kimmie Meissner, 16. The first women’s skating event is February 21. MORE FACTS ABOUT MICHELLE KWAN Michelle Kwan began skating at age 5, after watching her brother play ice hockey.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Frozen in Time The Enduring Legacy of the 1961 U.S. Figure Skating Team by Nikki Nichols Barbara Ann Roles. Barbara Ann Roles (also Barbara Roles Pursley, Barbara Roles Williams), born April 6, 1941 in San Mateo, California) is an American figure skater and skating coach. She is the 1960 Olympic bronze medalist and the 1962 United States Champion. Roles began skating at age 8, after being invited to try figure skating by a friend. [1] She became a student of Nancy Rush, who was her only coach throughout her career. Roles competed in ice dance with Jim Short. The pair placed second on the junior level at the 1958 U. S. National Championships, and passed two of their gold dances. However, Roles gave up ice dance to focus on her singles career. [1] After a successful novice and junior singles career, Roles placed second to Carol Heiss at the U. S. Nationals in 1960, earning a spot on the 1960 Olympic team. She retired after winning the bronze medal at those games. [2] She was asked to come out of retirement after Sabena Flight 548 crashed and killed the entire 1961 US Figure Skating Team. [3] Roles won the gold medal at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in 1962. She was the first skater to win U. S. novice, junior and senior titles. Only Kimmie Meissner is the only other skater to do this. [1] She missed the 1963 competitive season, while touring with the Ice Capades. [1] . She came back out of retirement in an attempt to qualify for the 1964 Winter Olympics, but only placed 5th at the national championships and failed to make the team.

  • Is Pleased to Present a Day with David Wilson
    IS PLEASED TO PRESENT A DAY WITH DAVID WILSON FRIDAY OCTOBER 27 TH 9:00am – 3:00pm Stirling Arena Stirling Ontario Explore the creative side of skating with one of the world’s most talented choreographers. MELANIE BARKER – OFF ICE JODY JONES – STROKING EDGES & TURNS A More Detailed Schedule Will Be Emailed Out. www.stirlingskate.ca David Wilson is the visionary behind many of figure skating’s most celebrated performances of the past twenty- five years. Born and raised in Toronto, David’s competitive career was cut short and redirected by injury. He toured for five years as a chorus and featured performer with Ice Capades, and then he set out to explore the art of choreography on ice. His early work with professionals such as World Champion and two-time Olympic Silver Medallist, Brian Orser, launched him as an unstoppable creative force. By 2007 his versatility produced a rare clean sweep when he created the winning programs for each senior event at the Canadian Championships - Ladies, Men, Pairs and Dance. In 2009 David was honoured with the PSA Paul McGrath Choreography Award. Today, David’s reach is global. On the competitive stage his signature pieces evoke distinct images. Joannie Rochette’s spirited Firebird. Sasha Cohen’s passionate Romeo and Juliet with which she won a silver medal at the 2006 Olympic Games. Alissa Czisny’s gentle and romantic Doctor Zhivago Suite, which resulted in her emotional comeback victory at the 2009 US National Championships. These are just a few programs that are part of the skating community’s collective memory.
