### The 2002 Figure Skating Scandal: Ice Cold Controversy Hey everyone, Let’s take a spin through one of the biggest figure skating fiascos in Olympic history. The 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City had more drama than a soap opera, and here's the juicy scoop: 1. **The Main Event**: The pairs' figure skating competition was supposed to be a highlight. But instead of smooth glides and flawless routines, we got a mess. Russia snagged gold over Canada, even though many felt Canada had skated the better program. 2. **Judge, Judge, Who’s the Judge?**: The media wasn’t shy about calling foul. The spotlight hit French judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne. Rumor had it she was pressured into giving her vote to the Russians. 3. **Confessions and Backpedals**: When the Technical Committee's chair got in her face, Le Gougne reportedly confessed she'd been coerced. But then, she flipped and said she actually believed the Russians deserved to win. Confused yet? 4. **The Fallout**: No official probe into the scandal ever happened. But Le Gougne’s career took a nosedive. She was out of the judging game for good. 5. **The Bottom Line**: Salt Lake City’s games were full of drama, and the figure skating scandal left fans and athletes questioning the fairness of the competition. Stay tuned for more Olympic tales! #FigureSkatingScandal #SaltLakeCity2002 #OlympicDrama #IceSkating #GoldMedalFiasco #MarieReineLeGougne #JudgeGate #Olympics #SportsControversy #WinterGames

🌟 Glute Activation & Power Output 🌟 In skating, loading into our glutes and powering out of them is crucial for achieving that explosive separation and power we need on the ice. 🏒💨 When we properly activate our glutes, we unlock the strength to propel ourselves forward, enhance our speed, and improve our overall performance. Remember, it’s not just about strength—it's about proper #micromechanics and the right muscles doing the work! Let’s focus on glute activation drills today in the gym and on the ice to elevate our skating game! 🔥💪 Some great resources for off ice are: @jefflovecchio @kaifasathletedevelopment @corcoransboxing #techpowerskating #hockeyedgework #hockeycanada #hockeycontrol #skatingactivation #skatingimportance #injuryprevention #injuryrehab #GluteActivation #PowerOutput #TrainSmart #AthleteLife Powered by @bauerhockey Video 📹 @pasquinoproductions

What does go-to-market strategy have in common with pairs figure skating? For one, marketing and sales (when done right) are inextricable. The best marketing is excellent client experience and results. The best sales is excellent results and client experience. Ice skating pairs spend most of their routine NOT doing the same thing, but neither could do what they were doing without the other. When they ARE doing the same thing, it's the synchronicity that is most impressive rather than the move itself. Usually one partner has launch-and-fling power, while the other has fly-and-land power. Neither is better or worse, and both are meaningless without the other in this event. My favorite example is the Shibutanis' ice dancing performance in the 2016 World Championships to the song "Fix You" by Coldplay. Do you have a favorite? If not, I'll add a handy Ms. Mojo video in the comments so you have a few to choose from. ;) Happy Friday everyone! #icedancing #sales #marketing #theyaskyouanswer
