Of all winter sports, none is so widely watched and commented upon
by the media as figure skating, which is often considered the
Winter Olympics' centerpiece. This critical text examines the ways
in which media attention has gradually altered and affected the
sport, from the early appearances of Sonja Henie, to skating's
gradual audience growth via television, and to the ramifications of
the scandals in the 1994 and 2002 Olympics. The topic is
illuminated by more than 30 interviews with commentators, skaters,
producers, directors and others. In addition to numerous photos,
illustrations show the compulsory figures for which "figure
skating" got its name, as well as a sample of the charted-out
"camera blocking" for TV directors. Appendices include collected
anecdotes from early broadcasting experiences; a profile of
broadcaster Jim McKay; and commentary from Carol Heiss on her 1961
musical Snow White and the Three Stooges.
