Favourite skating moments, and we all have one or two, are not always about the making of today’s champions…they sometimes say as much about the speaker, as they do about the skating event or skater featured in that moment…in today’s Edgework:

Artistic Impression - The essence of their story

‘As a former high school teacher in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, I used to look across the football field beside the school, to the rink where Kurt Browning got his start. I have always marveled, that in the depth of cowboy country, from this very small community, Kurt, was able to achieve such greatness in figure skating. This fact greatly increased my respect for his endless determination, tremendous talent and grounded personality and the enduring impact it has had on this sport. My all time favourite program? “Brick House” choreography 5.9…. Pants 6.0!!!’
