I'm not sure what skaters do these days, but 35 years ago I had to master and be tested on dance pairs, tracing, compulsory skills, and singles freestyle levels; and then in addition weight training, ballet, stretching, and aerobic exercise. So for me it was hard to become completely accomplished in each because there was always going to be that one thing I loved most. But I had to do all of it. While training for an up and coming dance pairs test another couple knocked in to us. When I fell I broke both wrists. My coach MADE me keep skating lock step with my partner with hands and arms locked. By the time my session was done I was in tears with these horribly swollen forearms and hands. I ended up having to postpone my test. All my hard work and the money ... gone just like that just because another skater crossed our dance pattern. I appreciate these athletes so much because I truly understand how much they give and how strong they have to be. I felt like a little maniac and I wasn't even close to this level of skating. These people are beasts!!
Now we know that Scott hadn't dropped Tessa in 22 years. Amazing!

For a rigorously exacting sport, the judging is very subjective.
this is really interesting. This sport isn’t as easy as more people think.
Dartfish reminds me of the skating computer program Michelle Trachtenberg's character creates in Ice Princess
