Thinking back to Skate America in October


Skate America 2013 Detroit Michigan
Very excited to go to Frenchie Skate 2014 tomorrow, and it got me thinking back to Skate America in October and the beginning of the Skating Season.  Competitions are always exciting and it was great to see Meryl Davis and Charlie White debut Scheherazade.

  • Tatiana VOLOSOZHAR / Stanislav MOROZOV (Pairs Olympic Gold Medalists)
  • Ksenia STOLBOVA/Fedor KLIMOV (Pairs Olympic Siver Medalists)
  • Mao Asada
  • Jason Brown
  • Ashley Wagner
  •  Maia SHIBUTANI/Alex SHIBUTANI
  • Daisuke TAKAHASHI

 Additionally, it was great to be at 'The Joe' (Joe Louis Arena) to see a skating competition right here in Detroit MichiganDetroit hosted Skate America previously in 1995, 1997 and 1998.  And of course Detroit hosted the US Nationals in 1994, which will forever be remembered for 'Tonya and Nancy'.

Visitors had great things to say about Detroit - how friendly and nice people were, and how well the competition was run. Hopefully we'll see more skating competitions here in the future - it is only fitting since so many skaters train in the area.  Hope to see you all at Frenchie Skate tomorrow.
