The future holds exciting times for the Salmon Arm Skating Club.
Come Feb. 25, members of the club will be participating in a seminar led by four-time World Champion, Canadian Champion, three-time Olympian and all-round figure-skating great, Kurt Browning. He was also the first skater to land a ratified quadruple jump in competition, placing him in the Guinness Book of World Records.
害羞草研究所淚 just love him. It is incredible, we害羞草研究所檙e very, very lucky,害羞草研究所� said Angela Inglis, vice-president of the club.
She explained she sent Browning an email last summer, 害羞草研究所渒ind of a shot in the dark,害羞草研究所� because she and president Crystal DeBoer weren害羞草研究所檛 sure if he works with smaller clubs.
He does. The club was able to book the Spectator Arena in the Shaw Centre from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Feb. 25, with a short break from 11 to 11:30 a.m.
Browning will be teaching the club害羞草研究所檚 competitive skaters from 7 to 9:30 a.m. and again from 12:45 to 2:30 p.m.
Although registration is full, Inglis said people are more than welcome to stop by the arena between 7 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. if they害羞草研究所檇 like to watch Browning work with the kids.
害羞草研究所淗e is not performing 害羞草研究所� we don害羞草研究所檛 want people to feel like they害羞草研究所檙e coming to see him perform, they害羞草研究所檙e coming to see him teach.害羞草研究所�
Fortunately the seminars the professional skaters put on are quite reasonable in price, she said.
Last year the club was able to book Kaetlyn Osmond, whose seminar was held in Sicamous due to availability of ice time. Just 27 years old, Osmond is described as a three-time Canadian national champion, who also won three Olympic medals and two World Championship medals.
The club害羞草研究所檚 coaches are always excited to try new things and like to offer bigger city experiences for a small community, Inglis said.
害羞草研究所淲e shot for the stars with Kurt Browning and he said yes. Now we害羞草研究所檙e unstoppable,害羞草研究所� she smiled.
害羞草研究所淲e害羞草研究所檙e all very excited,害羞草研究所� added DeBoer. 害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 really exciting.害羞草研究所�
