This post is nowhere near anything skating-related but my skating friends and I spent some time sightseeing in Chicago after the race on Saturday.

Keith Carroll- A Younger Perspective
2008-08-01 10:45 peterdoucet

Check out Keith Carroll’s blog; A Younger Perspective. The most recent entry, Expectations, deals with USA’s medal expecations and previous results.

But, as team USA I think we should expect to do much better then we did last year. Last year the USA team finished fourth overall in total medals, third in gold medals. But Joey literally won half of our total medals, a number that the rest of us she be ashamed of.

Skating With Wouter Hebbrecht
2008-08-02 02:59 peterdoucet

Here’s Wouter Hebbrecht’s blog; Skating With Wouter Hebbrecht. His recent website entry Qualities of an Athletes! discusses in length about 10 qualities

Soon we will all be glued to our screens watching the passion and dedication of the athletes, competing through pain and fear and excitement, working to achieve their dream at the 2008 Olympics in China. These Olympic athletes remind me, once again, of what sports can teach us in life and in our own skating/sporting career. I realize a lot of the athletes, no matter what sport or background they come from, all have the same qualities necessary to succeed

Olympics: 25 Core Sports + 3 Floaters
2008-08-02 03:07 peterdoucet


The thread FIRS SHAKE-UP … BATTLE FOR THE THRONE UNDERWAY … WHO WILL WIN continues to have some interesting posts about the Olympics- one of the most latest being this one;

Carlos is clearing the way for 2020 at that time the new Olympic rotation system (25-/3?+) will be in place with on top the possible exit sports. So snapping the chair now with a possible failure by Aracu; the FIRS Olympic blueprint for which is worked so hard

The IOC session in Guatemala introduced a revolutionary system of 25 core sports with three “floating” sports at the Olympics from 2020.

But all sports would be up for review after each Olympics.

The IOC members would drop or include new sports by a simple majority vote. Up until today the IOC rules required a 2/3’s majority before changes could be made.

The IOC President Jacques Rogge said the old rule was “not satisfactory” and the change would lead to a “consistent and coherent program”.

There are currently 28 sports on the program for the Beijing Games next year.

Ask Bill Begg! What about knee bend?
2008-08-02 03:14 peterdoucet

The latest Ask Bill Begg! article is How to learn knee bend.

Bottom line: proper position is less about bending your knees and more about dropping your butt. Keep that in mind and your push will gain power.

Cheers, Bill

Laurie Lafrance is one of the Toronto Inline Skating Club’s founders. She formed the club along with Jocelyn Martin (Sicotte) and recruited skaters, getting the club off the ground.

She designed the TISC’s logo back in the early 1990’s (see below). Who knows how many people have a tattoo of her design somewhere on their body?

One of my friends sent me the link to her site- she’s got some really nice work.

Sunset Skate 365 Days (Year 2) #275 08/01

Trying to get fit!

It's a long, lonely road.
But I have been out of the "skating thing" for a long while now.
So far, so good. I haven't fallen...yet.

I am going to New York to skate in a couple of weeks.
I don't want to fall in front of them up there...or look stupid.

Peer pressure sucks...sometimes.
