For the past 30 days, I’ve been training like an olympic figure skater with olympian and 1996 world champion, Todd Eldredge, Ukrainian National Champion, Denis Petrov and other various specialists! This has been probably one of the longest projects I’ve been working on, and my channel is varied in content from K-Pop Dance Cardio Workouts to fashion videos but I wanted to create this because figure skating is something that is a deeply personal part me that is embedded into my identity since I discovered it 2 years ago. Hope this provides some interesting insight into the sport of figure skating as well as provide motivation for everyone try something new and challenge yourself (‘:
