The Ice Skating Podcast

Welcome to a special episode of The Ice Skating Podcast, brought to you after the ISU 58th Ordinary Congress 2022 in Phuket, Thailand. 
The pod features an in depth interview with the outgoing president of the ISU, Jan Dijkma of the Netherlands, and press conference highlights from his successor, Jae Youl Kim of the Republic of Korea.
The pod covers the decision to raise the minimum age for competitors in senior events from 15 to 17 to protect skaters "physical and mental health, and emotional well-being".
There’s also a chat with Ashley Arthingal, the ISU co-ordinator of the new World Ice Skating Day, which is slated to occur on December 4.

Welcome to the latest episode of The Ice Skating Podcast. This episode is an emotional one, featuring an in depth interview with USA's figure skating sensation Vincent Zhou. 

He opens up about his difficult Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games, at which he tested positive for Covid-19 and had to withdraw from the Men's event. 

After struggling mentally in the aftermath of Beijing, Zhou battled back to perform at the World Championships, placing third thanks to two brave skates. He tells us all about his extraordinary journey. 

We've also got a review of the  ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships from Tallinn, featuring interviews with the winners from the Women's and Men's events, Isabeau Levito and Ilia Malinin.

Welcome to the latest episode of The Ice Skating Podcast in which we reflect on two major events in Canada – the ISU World Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Montreal, and the ISU World Synchronized Skating Championships, which took place in Hamilton.
We hear from some of Short Track Speed Skating’s biggest stars: Canada’s Charles Hamelin, who reveals what it was like to compete on home ice for the last event of his glorious, golden career; Hungary’s Shaoang Liu, back-to-back overall World Champion and very much Short Track’s man of the moment; plus the Netherlands’ Xandra Velzeboer, and Pascal Dion and Kim Boutin of Canada.
And from that other spectacular event taking place in Canada in recent days, the ISU World Synchronized Skating Championships, we have an interview with Laurie Desilets and Marie-Eve Comtois of Les Suprêmes (CAN), who claimed their first World title.
