TEAM USA MEMBERS TAKE PART IN BOITANO COOKING SHOW “Cooking With Team USA And Brian Boi-


tano” is a 20-episode web series the United States Olympic Committee produced and filmed in conjunction with 1988 Olympic fig- ure skating champion and cooking aficiona- do Brian Boitano and Kellogg’s. Seventeen Olympians and Paralympians


created healthy, fun recipes with Boitano in the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Cen-


ter’s new Teaching Kitchen during the week of February 23. Meryl Davis and Charlie White, the 2014 Olympic ice dance champions, and Alex Shibutani and Maia Shibutani, 2014 Olympians, were among the many athletes who shot an episode at the complex. “Charlie and I had so much fun cooking


with Brian,” Davis said. “We’ve gotten to know Brian a little bit better in the last year and he’s


a blast to spend time with. He spun some of the healthy things we already make ourselves into yummier recipes that are easy enough to make at home.” The web series will allow viewers to learn


about the athletes and their stories while fol- lowing along at home and learning new reci- pes. The video series will debut on TeamUSA. org this month.

This issue in SKATING history


In May 2013, U.S. Figure Skating launched the SKATING Magazine Archive, a fully searchable digital database that allows members and subscribers to access every story and photo published in the magazine since the inaugu- ral December 1923 edition.


Here’s a look at what was happening in the May issue of SKATING 15, 50, and 75 years ago:


2000 — Competition: 2000 World Champi- onships — by Salvatore Zanca


“Michelle Kwan made good on her promise to ‘up the ante technically’ and soared to new heights by winning her third World title. With the pressure on — and her destiny out of her hands — Kwan flawlessly performed the most difficult long program of her career. The result


6 MAY 2015


was a gutsy come-from-behind gold medal for the U.S. queen of the ice. With the victory, Kwan proved without a doubt that she’s still the best skater in the world.”


1965 — 1965 World Championships — In-depth report by Dick Button


“Would Alain Calmat finally capture the elu- sive World crown he had pursued for 10 years? Would the Protopopovs prove as bril- liant as they had at the Olympic Games, and the Romans again electrify the audience with startling new dance patterns? Would Petra Burka have an easy win over Regine Heitzer and could Peggy Fleming overcome her disappointing performance in the North Americans to re-establish herself as a serious contender for first place? These questions were answered in Colorado Springs, Colora- do, March 2–6, where the 1965 World Figure


Skating Championships were held.” 1940 — Figuring It Out


“With this issue, SKATING comes to the end of its 17th year of publication — and its most successful. It is a pleasure for its editors to an- nounce that, with the excellent cooperation of its representatives and subscribers all over North America, the magazine has attained even more than it optimistically hoped for last fall. Subscriptions have gone up from 4,000 to 5,200, advertising has increased at least 50 percent, many pages have been add- ed, more clubs have reported their activities in “Rockers” and new types of articles have come to light in the magazine’s columns.”
