Description
When Olympic figure skating judge Jean Senft blew the whistle on vote trading at the 1998 Nagano Winter Games, she opened the door to an entirely new way of judging. This system, which was developed and adopted following the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, is driving the sport in new directions.
As skaters are pushed to explore ever-more difficult and dramatic ways of scoring points, they are changing the very nature of figure skating. In Triumph on Ice, Senft describes in detail how that new system has lead to this new type of skating, which was so thrillingly on display at the 2010 Olympics. Senfts fascinating text is augmented by 100 stunning full-colour photographs by renowned skating photographer Grard Chtaigneau, capturing Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir in their Olympic gold performance, Evan Lysacek, Joannie Rochette, Yu-Na Kim, Meryl Davis and Charlie White, Patrick Chan, Evgeni Plushenko, Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo, Mirai Nagasu and many more. Triumph on Ice is both an incisive exploration of the new era in figure skating and a celebration of the worlds most dazzling figure skaters.
