Love figure skating? You're going to love these new figure skating books:
- A Complete History of the World Figure Skating Championships
- A Complete History of the European Figure Skating Championships
These books are so packed with results, trivia, photos, and "wait, THAT happened?" facts that picking them up basically qualifies as your daily off-ice training. Positive GOE guaranteed.
No - they're not steamy skating romances where the girl-next-door falls for a brooding Russian, they land side-by-side quadruple Lutzes on their first date and win the Olympics the next week. Yes, they're nonfiction reference books. But if you’re a skating history nerd (or simply skating history curious), these books are for you.
Your support of an indie, niche Canadian author keeping skating history alive one page at a time means the world. Order your copies today!

The covers were designed by Stefan Prodanovic, a talented designer from Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Stefan also created the cover for my book "Sequins, Scandals & Salchows: Figure Skating in the 1980s".
