☺️ Thank you! Don’t forget to read all the Appendixes! I put a lot of good stuff in there that didn’t fit in anywhere else!
(My advice to everyone who reads #SkatingOnAir)
May I add one please? (Non-fiction, entertaining read, lots of interviews & photos)

For those of us who hate it when they go in for that brutal close-up after a tough skate...unfortunately, NBC’s done this for decades. From my book #SkatingOnAir page 107 (discussing 1993 Worlds):

"Terry Gannon...has a photographic memory; looks at something 20 seconds and does a perfect take every time. Plus, he has a profound understanding of what goes into being an elite skater. He's a quick study of sport."

Tracy Wilson’s commentating roots go waaay back to the early 90s (write your own sarcastic joke here)

(When I'm not talking about my blog #StateoftheSkateMUSIC or my book #SkatingOnAir that is...)
Enjoy, everyone!

So they said mics are “embedded” in the ice this year at #PrevagenUSChamps, which is new I think. When I wrote #SkatingonAir NBC producers spoke of the early desire for more skate noise; this is next level and (to my ears) isn’t quite ready for prime time. Wish they’d tested it at Skate America…

#DickButton was an obvious interview wish when I wrote #SkatingonAir. While that didn't happen-- he was writing his own book at the time, among other reasons- the personal stories shared with me by ABC and NBC folks alike fully underscored his tremendous importance in #figureskating. #RIPDickButton
