A blog by Monica Friedlander • Saveskating.com
Why "save skating"? Because our sport is in free fall. After enjoying its boom of the 1980s and 1990s, the popularity of figure skating is at an all-time low, especially in North America. TV audiences are vanishing, sponsors turning their back on the sport, and professional skating but a distant memory. Worst of all, those memorable performances that touched our souls are largely a thing of the past.
We still have quality skaters, but they're few and far between and have no future to look forward to after their last competition. And more often than not, the new judging system doesn't recognize their true abilities. We need change if we're to get back on the path that once made our sport one of the most popular in the world.
