The Cutting Edge

The World Figure Skating Championships are in Boston next month. I have tickets. I know nothing about figure skating, beyond what one picks up from watching the Olympics on TV. So I’m reading tutorials, queuing up books, and I’m watching movies.

One thing I’ve learned is that it can be really helpful to go back a few decades. They used to be slower, and the jumps were doubles and triples. Got back a few decades more and the jumps are singles, which are far easier to see!

This movie is a fairly silly revision of Taming Of The Shrew, but it has moments. “Toe-pick!”
