I was thinking about a thread where we got to send out a hug to a skater who needed it or whom we just loved but that sounds too fan fest like for The Edge folder. Then started thinking of who I would like to interview if I could choose any skater alive or dead who seemed like they would have something to say. Then I thought coaches too and skaters on the cusp who are only beginning.
It seemed impossible as so many skaters came to mind but would any seem that interesting based on what I know?
I decided that I would like to interview Dick Button to see what gave him the drive he had and pick his brain about all the skaters he had known and what he thinks of the top ladies of today. I suspect it would be a three hour at least conversation. The Coach I would want most to interview is a Eteri. Esp right now to ask her if she tells truth who has been the skater she has cared about the most. And ask her how she felt when Alina triumphed over Zhenya as Zhenya sobbed after coming off ice. How can one woman be mother figure to all these talented children and not have favorites? She is a fascinating coach or as plush has said “ manager,”
Another skater I’d like to interview if she would open up is Kerrigan. We all know so much of Harding’s thoughts but I want to know why Nancy was never angry in public and always held back. Even after the movie with Margot Robbie and the press even helping to rehab Tonya why did Nancy not once get really angry and tell us plainly exactly what she felt about Tonya and the truth? Her career is long over and still so measured. Never once did she say what most would or wish a house fell on Tonya which would be understandable. And no book about her life which is pretty interesting as yet. He family, her special mom, her falling in love with older married manager, her struggle to have kids. I think she has a very interesting auto bio in her.
Also I would love to Interview a truthful Katiaabout all the loves of her life. I wish she would write a sequel to My Sergei and with all the men who adored her who was the love of her life? Also what does she see for her self now that her skating is finally winding down? I loved her first book. A dinner with Katia would be fun if she talked. Since I know all about her skating with Sergei and read that book I guess I would want to know who this mysterious beauty is today?
So who would you interview or just have dinner with and why? I’m a bit bored waiting for all the Nationals to happen lol.
