ISU World Short Track Speed Skating Championships review, with Charles Hamelin, Shaoang Liu, Xandra Velzeboer, Pascal Dion, and Kim Boutin; ISU World Synchronized Skating Championships review, with Laurie Desilets and Marie-Eve Comtois of Les Suprêmes

Welcome to the latest episode of The Ice Skating Podcast in which we reflect on two major events in Canada – the ISU World Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Montreal, and the ISU World Synchronized Skating Championships, which took place in Hamilton.

We hear from some of Short Track Speed Skating’s biggest stars: Canada’s Charles Hamelin, who reveals what it was like to compete on home ice for the last event of his glorious, golden career; Hungary’s Shaoang Liu, back-to-back overall World Champion and very much Short Track’s man of the moment; plus the Netherlands’ Xandra Velzeboer, and Pascal Dion and Kim Boutin of Canada.

And from that other spectacular event taking place in Canada in recent days, the ISU World Synchronized Skating Championships, we have an interview with Laurie Desilets and Marie-Eve Comtois of Les Suprêmes (CAN), who claimed their first World title.

The Ice Skating Podcast is the official pod of the International Skating Union, hosted by Luke Norman and Nick Moore.
