Thank you Sylvia for the additional links! I was thrilled that Tenley got to witness another American gold medalist on her 70th anniversary. :)

I was fortunate to have spoken to the amazing Tenley Albright before she left for Italy! Spend 45 mins to hear her talk about her incredible career: https://www.manleywoman.com/episode-89-tenley-albright/ She's currently 90 years old and is over in Cortina, Italy ... 70 years after she won the...

Happy to see the LGBTQ flags and support for Ryedin.

Just in time for your travel to St Louis for US Nationals ... so much pairs! On New Years Eve, Alexa and Chris Knierim generously sat down with me to go in-depth on their careers together as well as how Alexa paired up with Brandon Frazier after Chris' retirement. I was impressed with how...

ACK! 2026 Olympics!! LOL :p

Hello all. It's been a hot minute (or many minutes) since I've created a podcast. But the 2026 Olympics are coming, I'm still very active in the sport, and I couldn't resist posting another episode! This one is with American Pair Skater Timothy LeDuc. (It's also very convenient that they are one...

This time around I've got an amazing interview with Jackie Wong of Rocker Skating. I'm sure everyone here already follows Jackie online. His website at Rockerskating.com is an incredible resource for skating analysis and news. And on Twitter, he's even better, providing play by play coverage of...

A quick update to add that in order to be accessible as possible, there's now a full transcript of this interview available on the website: https://manleywoman.com/episode-85-debbi-wilkes/ Thank you.

I also love that during her broadcast days, she videotaped the judges caught cheating. :) Unbelievable instincts to get her camera crews on that! Thanks for listening.

Episode #85 with Debbi Wilkes is up! With partner Guy Ravelle, Debbi Wilkes was a two-time Canadian National Champion, 1963 North American Champion, and the 1964 Olympic Silver medalist. She later became a television ice skating analyst, an author, coach, and Skate Canada’s Director of...

Happy new year! ? Strap yourselves in for a fun (and long . . . about 1 hr 19 mins) podcast! Episode #84 features Britain’s Courtney Jones. If you’re unfamiliar with his formidable contributions to the sport, here’s a quick (and incomplete) list: This former British ice dancer won the World...

You can sign up on my website for my email newsletter, and you'll get notified via email every time a new one is released. ;)

Just in time for the holidays, I've resurrected my podcast (yes, the first one in waaaaay too many years). Episode #83 with Elizabeth Manley is up! I figured if I was coming back to podcasting, it was about time we had Manley vs Manley! I was thrilled to discover she had heard of me and was...

Aljona spent some time here in Chicago after the last Olympics coaching the Kneirams. She told me herself she doesn't love show skating, and she really enjoys and thrives on competing. So if she loves to compete and still can, I don't fault her for wanting to continue to do it. I don't agree it...

Thank you. :) Admittedly that was a part (but not the main reason) for getting my site back up to speed. I was thrilled USFSA reached out.
