Vanessa James and Eric Radford: First Steps

September 21, 2021 By Beverley Leave a Comment

  The best thing about Autumn Classic International in September is that it leads to the next episode of skating – especially in an Olympic season. Eric Radford is already looking forward to his next event with new partner Vanessa James: Finlandia Trophy on Oct. 8 to 11 in Espoo, Finland. It’s the fifth of […]

The Muddy Waters of a Comeback

April 22, 2021 By Beverley 6 Comments

Eric Radford thought he needed a Plan B. So did Vanessa James. So they hitched their plans together, rather organically. It just sort of happened. But they didn’t expect that the announcement of their new pair partnership with 10 months to go before the Beijing Olympics would be met with such snarling reaction. Hurt feelings […]

Stars On Ice Becomes Hot Ticket

May 6, 2018 By Beverley 2 Comments

Outside the Air Canada Centre, there was sturm. Inside there was drama. A post-Olympic Stars On Ice had come to Toronto. But it wasn’t like any Stars On Ice we’d seen in years. The Air Canada Centre was packed. Stuffed right to the rafters. That means 17,000 seats sold. A sell-out in Canada’s largest city. […]

Duhamel and Radford take a deep breath

October 16, 2017 By Leave a Comment

After the cruelty of a long program gone completely haywire at Autumn Classic a few weeks ago, Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford have hit the reset button. They will be coming to Skate Canada International in another 10 days feeling settled after some clever reworking of their Muse 2.0 free program. “We had a big […]

Eric Radford battling hip issue

March 28, 2017 By 2 Comments

The timing couldn’t be worse. A day before the pair short program at the world figure skating championship, two-time world champion Eric Radford could see there was something wrong with his hip. And he could not do a triple Lutz. “I’ve had a spasmed muscle in my deep abdominals,” he said, clenching his right hip […]

Finland: A homecoming for some

March 20, 2017 By 2 Comments

Finland has given us the word “sauna.” It is about the only word in the difficult Finnish language (given level three of difficulty by a language institute in California) that translates to English very happily and is most welcome in our vocabulary. “Tundra” might be the other, but that word leaves you feeling rather bleak.

Canada's duos strangely in step

March 23, 2015 By Leave a Comment

(My story, as seen on the Skate Canada website:   Fate and destiny have bought Canada’s top two upwardly mobile duos to much the same place, on the same path, so much so, it’s almost chilling to behold. Never have Canadian doublets been in such step as pair skaters Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford and […]

Duhamel-Radford rally for world championships

March 17, 2014 By Leave a Comment

It seemed to take a lifetime for both Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford to finally get their Olympic experience – and they’re still barely over it. But they have to be, to prepare for the world championships in Saitama, Japan, where they hope to finally deliver the “Alice in Wonderland” free skate they had always […]
