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

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.

Duhamel's act of compassion

March 15, 2017 By Leave a Comment

For a time, Mootae, a short-legged little dog with a mix of Dachshund blood and a pair of curious eyes, padded about a modest little temple in South Korea, following every step of his saviour, a Buddhist nun to her meditation, and her prayers. Now Mootae has a new saviour: two-time world pair champion Meagan […]

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 […]
