I quite agree with David Wilson, not just about Canadian, but recent Ladies in general in spite of some of most wonderful skaters ever:
Grand Prix Season Preview: Canadian women rebuilding
I quite agree with David Wilson, not just about Canadian, but recent Ladies in general in spite of some of most wonderful skaters ever:
"[Figure skating] has become so athletic with the jumps that I think it really requires someone to be as well-rounded as possible," he says. "They need to have a range of movement, flexibility, jumps and spins and have the kind of presentation that connects to the audience."
This can be a tall order to say the least.
"The boys seem to have the 'rock star' thing' and lots of moxy, while more often than not the ladies play it safe," Wilson says. "I wish there were more girls who would try to have a bit more fire.
"All of the great champions had it, and I would like to see it. Otherwise the ladies in an event can have a sameness about them."
