Beijing 2022 Preview: Mark Hanretty on Figure Skating; Valerie Maltais on Speed Skating and Short Track
Welcome to the latest episode of The Ice Skating Podcast – with the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games just three days away!
On this pod we are joined by the marvellous ISU commentator Mark Hanretty, who offers up a razor-sharp preview of Figure Skating at Beijing 2022.
Whether you're a fan of Nathan Chen, Yuzuru Hanyu, Anna Shcherbakova, Kamila Valieva, Alexandra Trusova, or one of the incredible pairs or ice dance couples, Mark has got all the insight you need.
After that, we've got the two-for-one value of Valerie Maltais of Canada, who is headed out to her fourth Olympic Winter Games.
Maltais has been at the last three Games as a Short Track Speed Skater, and offers great insight into that discipline - but she is at Beijing 2022 as a Speed Skater, and part of the Canada women's Team Pursuit squad that are in with a great chance of winning a medal.
The Ice Skating Podcast is brought to you every week during Beijing 2022, hosted by Luke Norman and Nick Moore.
