Why I love This Sport: Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy's "Pina" freeskate

At last weekend's Skate America in Ontario, California, 3-time World Champions Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy climbed from fifth place after the short program to first place overall with a magnificently-inventive freeskate. The German team's "Pina" freeskate, the brainchild of their always innovative coach, Ingo Stuer, interprets the work of late German modern dance choreographer Pina Bausch. In an interview, Robin said that fans will either "love or hate it". I am one fan who loves this piece. Sheer choreographic genius!!

Enjoy Aliona and Robin's "Pina":

Mission Statement

The purpose of this blog is to share some of the joy and happiness that figure skating has given me over the years. You don’t have to be a skating fan to appreciate the brilliance of the figure skaters highlighted on this blog.

By posting regular videos, I hope to share with you some of my favorite programs from skaters that you may have heard of, and also programs from skaters who you may not have heard of, but won’t soon forget.

Figure Skating, at its best, transcends sport and becomes art. The best skaters can take you on a journey of emotions.

I hope that through this blog, skating can bring as much joy and inspiration into your days as it has for me! I feel privileged to be a fan of this sport, and I am proud and excited to be sharing it with all of you!
