Contribute to "As the Blade Turns"

Can you think of some great "soap opera" figure skating stories? You can contribute to "As the Blade Turns!" Share your ideas !

Some suggestions of what could be happening include:

  1. Two juvenile level skaters were once friends, but after one of the skaters makes junior nationals and the other does not, there is tension not only between the girls, but their parents.
  2. A female pair skater has gotten too big for her partner. A new partner has been found, but the girl is miserable skating with the new partner. She wants her former partner to skate with her again.
  3. A well-known ice dancer quits skating. Her partner is conducting a nationwide partner search.
  4. A prominent coach finds out that her student wishes to change coaches.
  5. A skating family is torn apart due to the stress of skating. Divorce is inevitable.
    A promising female skater loses an international event and wonders if she should leave figure skating.
  6. A young skater's father dies suddenly of a heart attack right before a major skating event.
  7. A Russian coach suddenly disappears.
  8. A promising skater's father is diagnosed with a life-threatening disease.
  9. During an ice dance practice, two dance teams collide. One of the skaters involved is seriously injured.
  10. After experiencing a major family disaster that has left a family financially strained, a senior level figure skater surprises everyone at the rink and wins regionals. How will she skate at sectionals? Will she qualify for nationals? Can she continue to afford to skate?
