Skate Canada Changes Definition of “Team” to Allow Any 2 Skaters to Compete Together in the Name of “Gender Diversity”

Skate Canada has revised its policy to allow any two athletes, regardless of their gender identities, for domestic competition.

On Tuesday, Canada’s governing body for figure skating announced that the definition of “team” in the podium pathway for pair and ice dance teams would be changed to “a team consists of two skaters.”

The previous definition of ‘team’ was one woman and one man. According to the news release, this definition was “inconsistent with Skate Canada’s vision of Skating for Everyone and Skate Canada’s commitment to non-discrimination, including non-discrimination based on gender identity.”

Skate Canada’s Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (EDIA) Operating Committee drafted and unanimously endorsed the recommendation to the committee in July 2022. The motion was presented to Skate Canada’s Board of Directors in September 2022, and it was unanimously approved.

Recall that the major plot line of the movie was that two males could do a stunt that that a male and female were not strong enough to do.

Plot is that 2 skaters get kicked out of skating find a loophole in that can compete as pair

Shouldn’t there be 57 on a team, one from each gender?

The trailers for that movie were sufficiently gross to put me off watching it.

Guess I’ll dig out my old Peggy Fleming pictures, that will be the hell out of watching two fake men skating together without hockey sticks.

Thanks, she was the most beautiful girl in the world to me back then.

She’s beautiful, and definitely a lady ... In recent pictures, she seems to have aged very gracefully.
