Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Kerrigan, the 1994 Olympic Silver medalist, is best remembered in connection with the dramatic events of that year, when the world watched her being attacked by relatives of her competitor, Tonya Harding-an event that cast a shadow over the entire Winter Olympic experience that year. Kerrigan's book at first looks as if it were meant for those who want to learn to skate. But it isn't. It is instead for advanced skaters concerned with the advanced techniques of figure skating. Such skaters may find little here beyond what they already learn from coaches, judges, and special off-ice instructors, however. Kerrigan covers spins, jumps, and moves in the field, all of which she knows a lot about. But she also includes ice dancing, pairs, and synchronized skating, with which she has had little experience. Where Kerrigan offers good guidance is in the chapters devoted to the daunting experience of competitive skating. For the small community of advanced competitive skaters, this book will be interesting if not essential reading.

“Watching Nancy Kerrigan inspired me to start skating. Now Nancy has written a book to help serious skaters understand how and what has to be done to jump, spin, train and compete like the worlds top elite skaters.”

Good for concepts

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a good concept book. It gives another opinion of the technique of skating. I recommend it as not all skaters skate the same, however, there are several things in this book that are not taught by my coaches the way Nancy explains them. I like to hear other opinions but some skaters will only be confused hearing something so different.

Helpful Instruction

This book provides plenty of helpful technical information for skaters. So much great information presented in a readable, non-boring format. Ms. Kerrigan manages to cover both on-ice and off-ice training as well as non-training topics, such as presentation and music. An enjoyable book that leaves me with a genuine fondness for Ms. Kerrigan personally and an appreciation for her athleticism.

Great Resource for Skaters!

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2003

Nancy Kerrigan, two-time Olympic medalist, has written a book for skaters full of tips and advice that she has learned and used during her years as a Senior skater. Nancy states in the introduction, "Artistry on Ice is not focused on the early fundamentals...[it] is intended for intermediate to advanced skaters...and includes tips for sharpening their competitive skills". However, even beginners will benefit from the many tips and land and water excercises featured in the book to develop strength for skating. This book features clear instructions and full-color photographs covering nearly every aspect of intermediate and advanced skating, including all kinds of jumps, spins, essential skills like spread eagles and spirals, competition, partner skating, off-ice training, and more. Also, you will find thousands of hints and tips for performing various skating movements that have worked for Kerrigan herself. Plus, a whole section of the book is devoted to competition, covering cosutmes, music, choreography, and bringing it all together. This book is full of practical advice and will help all skaters reach for that shining star!

Insightful Guide for Figure Skaters

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2002

This book is full of useful tips for beginner and intermediate skaters. I found it to be clear and concise. The photographs illustrated specific moves well. I have been figure skating since I was a tot and am now an adult -- this book helped to clarify specific techniques which had previously been elusive. I found the chapters on other forms of skating very interesting as well.

Good book for advance novices

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 19, 2015

Good for those just starting out on jumps and spins although it cannot take the place of an on-ice instructor. I picked up some good tips I must admit.

Not much about artistry

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

The book explains how to do spins and jumps, but does not really go into the artistic side of skating, which is what I had bought the book for. Misleading title in my view.
