Canada's Figure Skaters in the 2014 Olympics


I will be watching and cheering.  When we first arrived in Canada as new immigrants, watching figure skating on TV was our weekends' most favorite time.



The link below has vid of the Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford  performance at Sochi on Feb 6.  The music was composed by Eric Radford. 

From CBC:
Canada's Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford    skated into second place following the pairs short program of the inaugural figure skating team event Thursday in Sochi, Russia.

The Canadians finished with a score of 73.10, using precision timing and solid jumping.
"I think that was the greatest feeling," said Duhamel, "It's not the points, it's not the winning, it's not Canada winning a medal.
"To perform like that and finish our program with that feeling we had, it's every athlete's dream here in Sochi and at any Olympics, and we just did it, we just lived the ultimate moment of every athlete in the world.".......

If you want to watch some of their performances on the ice in other past competitions,
go here for Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford and
here for Kirsten Moore-Towers and Dylan Moscovitch
and here for Paige Lawrence and Rudi Swiegers

Here's the schedule for Sochi figure skating. 
and here's CBC's relevant link to Canada's figure skating team in Sochi.
