CBC Feature on the the McIntosh Sisters Brooke & Summer

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.

CBC Feature on the the McIntosh Sisters Brooke & Summer

Post by kittykins »

I was watching CBC and they did a nice feature on Summer, the famous Canadian swimmer and her older sister Brooke, a Pairs figure skater who has had tremendous success with her partner Benjamin Mimar. It's quite the balance to train for their individual sports and actually have family time as well. It's kind of cute that they both are talented athletes on water...one frozen and one not, haha.

I saw that feature last evening too - it was used once before - it was done by Devin Heroux of CBC - he is presently in Japan covering the World Aquatics Championships. He travelled to Florida as well as to Brooke's training site to do the feature.

Brooke has won 2 medals so far at the Worlds - the latest a gold in the 200 m Butterfly where she defended her title. Here she is being interviewed by Devin after the medal ceremony.

Her parents are both in Japan to cheer her on
