P17 Layout 1 SPORTS SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2014 Joy for Fenninger and USA, Games hit by horror accident SOCHI: Anna Fenninger swept to Olympic super-G gold while the USA edged ice hockey rivals Russia yesterday, but gloom hit Sochi when a freestyle skier suffered a broken back in a horrific fall. Austrian 24-year-old Fenninger showed off her smooth and technically sound giant slalom skills, conquering the demanding course to clock 1min 25.52sec for victory. Only 12 of the leading 30 women managed to finish the 2.2km-long Rosa Khutor run-with just three of the first 10 getting safely home.

  • 2013 World Dance Preview with PJ Kwong
    The Skating Lesson Podcast Transcript TSL: 2013 World Championships Ice Dance Preview with PJ Kwong Jenny Kirk: Hello, and welcome to The Skating Lesson Podcast! I’m Jennifer Kirk, a former US ladies competitor and a three-time world team member. David Lease: I’m David Lease. I’m a figure skating blogger and a current adult skater. Now today, we are absolutely thrilled to have Canadian journalist and announcer PJ Kwong on the podcast. PJ recently had the temerity to compare Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir to fine cheddar and discuss Meryl and Charlie as being Kraft singles. And we’d love to discuss all of it with PJ today here on our preview of the 2013 World Figure Skating Championships about to be held in London, Ontario. [PJ Kwong joins podcast] Jenny: So, PJ, after Four Continents, with kind of a controversial competition in the dance event with the Americans and the Canadians, you wrote on your blog – you compared the two teams to each other. And you said that the program components and the technical elements were very similar in terms of – it could go either way. But you said not the choreography – you said, “regardless of the result, the difference between Virtue and Moir’s Carmen and Davis and White’s Notre Dame programs are like comparing a fine old cheddar cheese to Kraft slices. Both are yummy, both have their place, but one is definitely finer than the other.” Elaborate. What do you mean by that because I just – I would say Kraft singles and cheddar cheese – I mean, they’re in two different places in the grocery store! Like – I mean that seems a very, you know, big difference.
