Sui/Han. They have quite the story to tell.
Anybody read The Second Mark? Really fascinating. Each of the 3 pair teams had such different stories. Loved it.
There's Toller Cranston's "Ice Cream" consisting of short biographies of some really high profile skaters, from Cranston's point of view. It was released some years ago, so the stars of figure skating of the most recent years are not included. But it's full of interesting insight from a man who lived skating.I would be interested in reading a book that is a collection of brief biographies of skaters.
This is exactly what Cranston's short biography of the Duchesnays says. I would give a fortune for a full autobiography from them, but I can well understand Isabelle's reasons for cancelling publication.I thought it was because she didn't want any more drama with Christopher Dean in the press, and they could hardly avoid writing about him.
I so enjoyed watching these programs again. The era that I enjoyed watching pairs.I loved The Second Mark!
Thinking in terms of movies, rather than books, I think one should be made about Shen/Zhao. It has all the makings of a great film -
....
Is this story not a great film in the making?

This would be pretty neat - I'd love it almost like a collection of short stories, each told by a different skater.I would be interested in reading a book that is a collection of brief biographies of skaters.
Previous posts mentioned a book by Toller Cranston, which I just ordered from Amazon. However, having a book of autobiographies from a more current era would be great.This would be pretty neat - I'd love it almost like a collection of short stories, each told by a different skater.

Also Jason Brown should of started writing one to tell the world about the new hair cutter that changed his "look," what a transition!
I'm sure he will dedicate his autobio to you and your wife.Also my wife and I have list of skater's who should not write about their selves the top two are Adam "alternative life-style" Rippon
Fedor Andreev, singles skater, ice dancer, the son of Marina, boyfriend of Tanith, Tessa, Becky Bereswill, and fiance of Meryl Davis. He was also coached by Zueva/Sphilband. I bet he could tell some tales.
Anastasia Galustyan
Ross Miner
Keegan Messing

To me it would have to be a seasoned skater instead of some overprotected kiddy who's traveling the world with parents! FS doesn't like to expose the "behind the scenes" drama; been pretty tight lipped over the years! Christine Brennon pieced deep with a couple books, but it's quite a shady sport compared to how presented in sequins and feathers with classic music playing in the background!
