Customer Reviews

A beautiful snapshot

I wish their was a classy revue like this one of Figure Skating stars available at the end of each season. This is an interesting and very beautifully photographed snapshot in time at the end of the 06/07 season. It is interesting to note who has evolved and become the current favorites since this book was published. Especially, Yuna Kim who has gone on to hold most of the important titles and records in the women's division. She has demonstrated a level of technique and artistry that would put her on the cover of any new edition as we cruise into the 2010 Olympic season.
