Hotting up at Skate Canada

The men's contest at Skate America opened the season well with some surprises and set the bar very high. So looking at the field for Skate Canada we had high expectations. And we weren't disappointed, it was a cracker.

Up and coming in Canada

So Grand Prix season is now in full swing and we've moved on to Skate Canada. The pairs contest sees the first outing of Worlds Champs Robin Solkowy and Aliona Savchenko, along with a couple of exciting up and coming couples so let's dive right in.

Rise and Fall at Skate America

So finally after a months long wait, the figure skating season has started again. Joy of joys, figure skating is back in all its floaty, sparkly, ridiculous glory. And the whole shebang kicked off good and proper at Skate America.

Nightmare in Norwich

Well, there's not a lot you can say about a performance like that. But that's what I'm here for, so here we go.

The great Grand Prix preview

So Skate America and the beginning of the Grand Prix series are now just over a week away and the entry lists are out. Having looked over the new programme list and the entry list for each Grand Prix, I'm very very excited to see what these competitions are going to bring. So who is going where? And what impact will it have? Well let us begin at the beginning with Skate America...

On the up at Upton park

So today's match had a bit of a feeling of deja vu about it. Occasionally sketchy moments in defence? Check. Someone in midfield having an off day? Check. Letting in a silly goal? Check. Fighting spirit? Check. Excellent comeback goals? Check. Olivier Giroud? Check.

medal worthy at olympiakos

So, our unbeaten start to the season  game to an end against Chelsea at the weekend, meaning that our Champion's League tie against Olympiakos was not only a chance to take a significant hold on the group but also to restore our momentum.
