Figure skating in chains! that's the theme of this year's North Park skating show.
No not really, it was My Favorite Things. But it seemed a prison theme was appropriate since they installed the chain link fencing on top of the dasher boards. The rink is owned and operated by Allegheny County. To their credit they are trying to widen the use of the facility by offering it to local high school and midget hockey teams. So the chain link is the outdoor equivalent of plexiglass, but it makes it tough to take pictures.
Janine is in the pre-Alpha group which skated to Do-ray-me from the Sound of Music. Both this and Sarah's video were recorded at the dress rehearsal on the Thursday previous.
Later in the show Sarah skated with the Alpha group to the Lonely Goatherd. As you can see she is the soloist with the group skating around her. The skating director was very proud of this group as they are the first at this level has successfully done a "traveling circle" when the group skates around a soloist. There's Sarah in the middle with the graceful arm movements.
