FIGURE SKATING AND FOOD

Many top level skaters, including Lisa Ervin and Jamie Silverstein have been quite open about their issues with food.

But just to show that it isn't all about starvation, an article on former skater Robert Nelson.

Nelson's passion for food developed during the four years he toured as a professional ice skater. The Chicago native often dined out while on the road. After marrying a fellow skater, Cheryl, Nelson earned a two-year culinary degree at Florida Technological University and moved to his wife's hometown of Lansing.
