Update on Joannie Rochette

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

There's a wonderful supply of good news today. Thank-you Elizabeth. She says nothing will replace skating and it may be in a totally different direction, but it will be amazing when she saves her first heart patient. She will excel at anything she puts her mind to. Blessings!

Wonderful and good for her!! It certainly would take a lot of work and dedication.

I think there have been a couple of other skaters in the past who studied medicine. I think the Americans Debbie Thomas and also one of the Jenkins brothers?
