JW Brochure(Artwork) Dealer Logo2.Indd Click to place your PDF logo here THE PERFECTION TO YOUR ROUTINE Over the last 50 years, National, World and Olympic champions have skated to victory on John Wilson blades. They’ve appreciated the precision and attention- to-detail that goes into creating every single edge. The results of which have set John Wilson apart in strength, flexibility, resistance to corrosion, and medal tally. From laser-cut steel to a meticulous six-stage tempering process, the careful combination of surface treatments and coatings to the master craftsmen who hand-finish each blade, every millimetre is perfected to ensure stability and excellence on the ice. For an edge that will not only withstand the rigours of competition skating, but is designed to help advance it. GOLDEN TIMES Gracie Gold has been perfecting her routine on John Wilson blades since she first took to the ice at the age of eight. Since those early first steps on the ice, Gracie has achieved considerable success at the U.S. National Championships, the 2014 Winter Olympics and the I.S.U. Grand Prix Series… all on John Wilson Pattern 99 blades. Unsurprisingly, Gracie has become a global figure skating phenomenon and is now the face of the World’s No.1 blade brand. COACH TOM Z’s BLADE GUIDE FREESTYLE & PAIRS ARROW GOOD BETTER BEST CORONATION CORONATION MAJESTIC COMET ACE BIGGER JUMPS BETTER SPINS GOLD PATTERN 99 SEAL DANCE & SYNCHRO CORONATION DANCE ARROW Perfection for your first steps. The John Wilson Arrow blade was designed in 2015 to meet the exact needs of the entry level skater. With a flatter profile than most beginner blades, the rocker is perfectly suited for boot/blade combination sets. More stability on the ice equates to a better learning experience and lightweight means less fatigue. This blade is affordable and, true to the John Wilson brand, delivers maximum performance. Made of 1075 carbon steel, you will be hard-pressed to find better value. SKILL LEVEL RECREATIONAL AND SINGLE JUMPS 1 MAJESTIC Next level skating. The Majestic blade is the perfect blade for a skater leaving their first boot/blade combination set. This option is great for those looking for a more advanced beginner blade because the straight cut tooth arrangement and the triple bottomed toe picks allow for secured bite and overall usage. If you’re still unsure about whether or not you want to take skating beyond the axel, this blade is for you. SKILL LEVEL SINGLE JUMPS 1 CORONATION DANCE Synchronized to your needs. The Coronation Dance is John Wilson’s premier dance and synchronized skating option. This blade has a shorter heel to avoid clashing during Mohawks and Choctaws and will also eliminate any unnecessary trip-ups while synchro teams perform in tight formations. The coarse cross cut picks are widely popular and are identical to the Coronation Ace toe picks which give this blade a lot of versatility as the demands of both dance and synchronized skating continue to develop. SKILL LEVEL OPTIONS DANCE AND PARABOLIC SYNCHRONIZED SKATING MADE IN ENGLAND We’ve spent over 300 years sharpening our skills. So it’s easier for you to perfect yours. CORONATION COMET Prepare for take off. The Coronation Comet is our most unique rocker profile. The less aggressive 8.5 ft profile allows for more stability on the ice as freestyle skaters look to hit their picks quicker. Thus, it has been widely reported that this blade is ideal for learning and perfecting toe jumps like the Double Lutz. Many top Canadian developmental coaches recommend this to their students after they leave introductory sets. SKILL LEVEL OPTIONS SINGLE AND DOUBLE JUMPS PARABOLIC 1 2 CORONATION ACE The most popular freestyle blade in the world. No other blade on the market can match the legendary performance and value of this fantastic blade. A skater moving up in skill will appreciate the responsiveness of the 7 ft rocker profile and, due to its coarse cross cut tooth configuration, this option is highly recommended by international coaches because of its reliability when learning new components. It is precision hardened to offer a strong skating edge and was used by many Olympic, World and National Champions early in their careers. If you are leaving a boot/blade combination set and plan on developing your axel and double jumps, this is likely your best option. SKILL LEVEL OPTIONS SINGLE AND DOUBLE JUMPS REVOLUTION AND PARABOLIC 1 2 CORONATION ACE - REVOLUTION PATTERN 99 Often imitated, never equalled. The Pattern 99 blade is no stranger to the podium. It is one of the most popular profiles in the world as it consistently delivers maximum performance to high-end freestyle skaters. The primary 8 ft radius works wonderfully for National Champions like Gracie Gold who use the Pattern 99’s tapered top toe pick for precision toe spotting on explosive jumps. This blade is ‘the real McCoy’ - it’s not comparable to anything, it’s not similar to anything, it’s the original. If you’re emerging as an elite level skater with powerful jumps and seek more control by being lower to the ice, this blade is undoubtedly your best option in our range - just ask our very own Gracie Gold. SKILL LEVEL OPTIONS TRIPLE AND QUAD JUMPS REVOLUTION AND PARABOLIC 3 4 PATTERN 99 - REVOLUTION GOLD SEAL Named for a reason. The Gold Seal blade won more Gold Medals than any other model at Sochi 2014. Coincidence? We think not. Perhaps the most widely recommended blade by Russian coaches, this blade delivers for freestyle and pairs skaters seeking an optimal spinning experience. Due to its higher heel stanchion, unique compound radius and tapered/hollow ground features, skaters report experiencing effortless spins and control in their footwork sequences and edge jumps. Trusted and worn by modern greats: Adelina Sotnikova, Volosozhar & Trankov and Elena Radionova. SKILL LEVEL OPTIONS TRIPLE AND QUAD JUMPS REVOLUTION AND PARABOLIC 3 4 GOLD SEAL - REVOLUTION The unique curvature of a Parabolic blade enables it to bite deeper into the ice. This means smoother, sharper and more energetic spins, turns and edge work no matter what level you’re skating at. And, as your weight is centered due to precision geometry, you have increased levels of control and confidence to maximize your true potential. Traditional blade Parabolic blade Parallel profile Tapered profile FOR TOTAL PERFECTION APPLY REVOLUTION TECHNOLOGY TO OUR PRECISION BLADES Revolution is the pinnacle in blade technology, combining the traditional merits of a steel blade alongside the benefits of weight reduction and flexibility through the use of carbon fibre. The results are unparalleled. The fusion of old and new technology allows skaters to move across the ice at increased speeds, make higher jumps, and cushion-land them, with greater control to reduce the risk of injury.

  • 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.

The ISU European Figure Skating Championships return to Zagreb for the fourth time in history. The event was held in the Croatian capital in 1974, 1979 and 2008 before.151 skaters from 34 ISU members have been entered for the Championships. Following a decision of the ISU Congress in 2012, no Preliminary Rounds will be held. Instead, skaters/couples need to have obtained a minimum total technical score in Short Program and Free Skating in order to compete at the European Championships. Overview of the top contenders The Men’s event focuses on the battle of the veterans against the youngsters. 2006 Olympic Champion, two-time Olympic silver medalist and seven-time European Champion Evgeni Plushenko (RUS), 30, returns to the European Championships to defend his title. Plushenko’s toughest rival probably will be Grand Prix finalist Javier Fernandez (ESP), 21, who aims at a historic first ISU Championships medal in figure skating for Spain. Fernandez has the highest season best score of the European men with 258.62 points. Plushenko did not compete internationally yet this season. 2011 European Champion and reigning European bronze medalist Florent Amodio (FRA), 22, is looking for another medal, but competition will be tough with Michal Brezina (CZE), 22 as well as 2008 European Champion Tomas Verner (CZE), 26 and another veteran, three-time European Champion Brian Joubert (FRA), 27.
