Visiting New York City to participate in Figure Skating in Harlem’s benefit, “Skating With the Stars, Under the Stars,” the two-time Olympic Silver Medallist revealed his plans for the future.
“I’m doing lots of martial arts. My kung-fu teacher just opened up a club in Toronto. I’m a senior instructor there. I’m also back competing in the martial arts, as well. I have a good chance of getting on the World Team this year to compete for Canada in the World Martial Arts Championship in Niagara Falls this November.”
Canada’s seven-time National champion in figure skating plans to accomplish this latest goal while simultaneously touring with “Champions on Ice.”
“Because I don’t need to carry a piece of ice around with me (for this), I can train anywhere I want. That makes it a little bit easier. Because I’ve been at such a high level in skating, it’s not hard for me to compete at the lower (martial arts) levels leading up to the World Team. It’s not as intense. It’s a lot different. You don’t have the media. It’s not as hyped as figure-skating. I’ve had the experience, so I can handle the pressure,” he assures.
COMING UP NEXT: Olympic Champion Viktor Petrenko
