Biographies will include personal backgrounds, competitive career highlights, interesting or little-known facts about the skaters, and official websites.
Find training information, music selections, and updated schedules. We'll give you addresses for fan mail and autographed pictures whenever available too.
In addition to profiles already posted of Sasha Cohen, Evan Lysacek & Evgeni Plushenko, we'll be kicking off this fall series with US Ice Dancing Champions Belbin & Agosto. Canadian & World Speed Skating Champion Cindy Klassen will take the spotlight next, followed by current international favorites from all disciplines in both sports.
In the upcoming weeks, these will include short track racers Apolo Anton Ohno & Ahn Hyun-Soo, ladies figure skaters Kimmie Meissner & Mao Asada, men's single skaters Jeffry Buttle and Johnny Weir, long track skaters Shani Davis & Chad Hedrick, pairs teams of Inoue/Baldwin and Pang/Tong, synchronized & adult skaters.
Toward the conclusion of this competitive season, we'll begin presenting favorite ineligible skaters who have either turned professional or retired.
