Extractions: Review by Irene Gordon. Not only will Super Skaters be of great interest to avid figure skating fans, but it will also be very useful for school research projects. The book is introduced by a history of figure skating, from the first use of animal bones as skate blades some 4000 years ago, to the use of metal blades in Holland in the 14th Century, to the founding of the first skating club in the world in Scotland around 1650, to the present. As well, there is a description of how skaters prepare their programs, illustrated explanations of how the various jumps are done, a listing of the Olympic gold medalists in the four skating disciplines (men's, women's, pairs and ice dance), and an explanation of how competitions are judged. "As more and more people in Europe and North America discovered the pleasures of skating, they began to skate together on ponds and lakes. The first skating club in the world, the Edinburgh Skating Club in chilly Scotland, came into being around 1650. To join the club, you had to be able to skate in a circle on one foot, then on the other foot, then jump over a pile of three hats. Perhaps these tricky exercises could be considered the first skating competition. "(Page 3)

Elena Valova was born in 1963. Parents: Alla Borisovna Valova and Aleksander Dmitrievich Valov. Elena began her skating at the small public skating rink near the house where she lived with her parents. Her father even tried to coach her asking Elena to dance to the music going through their window. Teachers and students from her school were very well aware of these endeavors. One day, the principal of the school advised Elena to go to the ice rink on the Plehanov Street, where Tamara Moskvina was auditioning children for the skating school. Elena went there and was accepted to the school in the first attempt. Elena Valova, I was dreaming about large arenas, prestigious championships and big victories. During my childhood, I loved skating at this small public skating rink by our house and imagined myself inside the real stadium, where the champions skated. For the complete picture, I will say that I even skated to the music that my father would turn on for me, and I listened to my favorite melodies. Later, my grandmother registered me for the childrens skating group, and I began training on a regular basis. I was seven years old.

Salé - Pelletier.com : 1998 - 1999 Biography Martin Cleary, pairs skaters Prepare for Spirited Battle, The Ottawa Citizen,Tuesday, January 26, 1999. Beverley Smith, Pair Put Canada Back of Figure http://www.sale-pelletier.com/english/biography.html
Extractions: 1998 - 1999 Season New Team, New Beginning In his competitive career, David Pelletier had competed internationally with three different pair partners. David split from his most recent partner, Caroline Roy, following the 1998 national championships feeling extremely frustrated. "After the 1998 Canadians, I decided to take 2 months off my skating. I sat down and wrote some criteria I wanted for another partner. I decided that if I can't find anybody, I'll just quit," (Skate Canada, CTV, 1998). In addition to the technical elements of their skating, coach Richard Gauthier knew there was another component of the partnership that needed to be addressed. "'I had seen Jamie in junior and novice, and I knew that she and David had the same charisma and the same desire to perform,' Gauthier said. 'But I also knew of David's reputation, and I told him if he couldn't control his emotions and make every day on the ice pleasant, he'd better leave,'" (Stubbs 2000). Before their pairing, both skaters had built a significant amount of frustration. "When I got there, to Richard, I was not exactly the same person as I am now. I had a lot of frustration inside me from a couple of bad years. What he heard about me was not so good. I think his biggest work was not to show me how to do my double axel or anything - it was to show me how to control my emotions and how to make it work for me and not against me," (David Pelletier, Canadian Championships, CTV, 1999). Jamie agreed: "It was very difficult when we were doing certain elements that we knew we could do. In the beginning, if we missed it, it was devastating - like the end of the world. Now it's like we laugh at each others mistakes. I fall on a throw and he laughs, seriously. 'What's wrong with you,' he says like a joke," (Canadian Championships, CTV, 1999).

Each year this group of youngsters are jumping higher and spinning faster. Each year they are also becoming more talented artistically as they gain exposure to the art of figure skating. This year, TSB is starting a new tradition. We are honoring the skaters whom we feel are just on the verge of international success. The criteria for recognition was simpledemonstrated high levels of skating ability with the promise of further growth in the future. As there are many talented up-and-comers in the world of figure skating, we decided to narrow this list to only include those skaters who have yet to medal in a major senior international competition. This eliminated many names which, although we feel that they have much potential for the future, have already demonstrated that they are capable of results. Without further ado, here is our list of the twenty skaters that you should become more familiar with.. we're sure that you'll be seeing their names in headlines and at the top of podiums in the not-so distant future.

They were both raised in Canada and competed for same until they became dissatisfied with their progress. Feeling too restricted, they took advantage of Paul's dual citizenship and decided to compete for France in 1985, where success has brought them a rabid fan following. In the end, I find it totally irrelevant that they compete for France.
