Synopsis
From the Dust Jacket's Inside Flap:
Skate is a colorful and exciting portrait of the most popular sport in North America today!
This lavish, full-color celebration of the art and elegance of figure skating takes fans on a whirlwind tour of the sport's past, present, and future. Interviews with dozens of stars from both yesterday and today are featured, providing insights into the heart and soul of amateur and professional skating. Readers are treated to an up-close look at the "star system" that fuels modern figure skating, as well as to a survey of the sport's rich and varied history. And Skate also looks to the future, with sections on the growing popularity of precision skating and a hint of what's in store for both the sport and its stars.
Skate includes: more than 130 exciting full-color photos; a comprehensive section on the emergence of precision skating; many previously unpublished archival images that profile skating's past; an extensive glossary of figure skating terms and a chronology of key events; a behind-the-scenes peek at the sport; and much, much more!
From the high-end classical artistry of today's stars to the rock 'n' roll physicality that characterizes figure skating today, Skate captures the spirit of a sport that will be admired for years to come.
