Extractions: the problem Every winter season kicks up a new crop of prime-time ice skating specials like Ice Wars , knee-bashing good times and back flips for the asking. Now, I'm no skating critic, but since the latest proliferation of skating-as-entertainment took over a chunk of last winter's programming, I feel obliged to comment on this issue. Women skaters suck. They're boring. Men have cornered the market on bravado, it would seem. And they have a monopoly on a strong sense of self, as well. Even the chicks with chutzpah are far below par when it comes to putting on a good show. I blame the idealized portrait of a frou-frou female ice skater they must aspire to, the perfect figure-8 ice princess. Don't they know our GenerationX-ified, brave-new-world, liberated girrrl finds this kind of fragile character obsolete? Their ornately sequined show-frocks are complicated. Unfortunately, their performances are not. I'm very curious to know what kind of severe pressure from coaches, parents, the weird tribe of skating itself, forces a woman skater into being typically graceful and frilly? Even gutsy broads like Kristy Yamaguchi and Katarina Witt are dull. Katarina has attitude for sure, and Kristy has done some creative, often beautiful performances (her recent "duet" with Sarah Brightman was noteworthy). But they don't compare to the Kurt Brownings and Brian Boitanos of this skating world. And the answer to a hyper-graceful, cliche femininity isn't a hyper-buff cliche masculinity (

Extractions: DANCE REVIEW By Garry Maskaly and Karlene Rosera associate photo editors Each performance had a unique feeling. Some skaters interacted with the audience, while others enriched their acts with emotion, making them much more than a series of jumps and spins. Three-time World Champion silver medalist Surya Bonaly executed her world-famous back flip and other complicated jumps with perfect timing and perfection. She enlivened the crowd with her upbeat performance and her never-fading smile. Olympic gold medalist Oksana Baiul, on the other hand, gave an artistic and emotional performance. At one point, her expression conveyed pain as she contorted on the ice. She rarely smiled throughout the performance, never dropping the emotional facade that was quintessential to her act. Even while completing remarkable jumps, she never allowed herself to smile. Other crowd pleasers included the sword-toting Philippe Candeloro, a two-time Olympic bronze medalist, who astounded the audience with a fencing routine on the ice. He later discarded his sword to do a difficult series of jumps, finishing the performance to great acclaim. Maya Usova and Evgeny Platov conveyed unparalleled emotion as they completed their dance routine. Having been paired for only a year, they recently secured a World Championship title. This would come as no surprise to the Fleet Center audience who was mesmerized by their fluid routine. Seeing the performers enjoy their skating without competitive pressure made the show an even greater treat.

Extractions: Ukrainian ice skater Oksana Baiul's life could have been a Dickens-like tragedy. But the girl who was orphaned at 13 blossomed into one of the world's brightest skaters. Her graceful, pixie-ish appearance belies a tough inner core that helped her overcome loss and battle alcoholism. Baiul was born in the city of Dnepropetrovsk, in her native Ukraine. When she was just two, Baiul's father left, and she and her mother moved in with her beloved grandparents. It was Baiul's grandpa who bought the girl her first pair of ice skates. She was a natural. At seven, Baiul won her first competition. When Baiul was 10 years old, both of her grandparents died unexpectedly, and three years later, her mother succumbed to ovarian cancer. Devastated, Baiul threw herself into skating with a passion. When famed Russian figure skating coach Galina Zmievskaya came to see the young girl skate, she was bowled over. She invited Baiul to move to Odessa and train with her. Under Zmievskaya's tutelage, Baiul hit the big time, winning the '93 World Championships and taking home the gold at the '94 Olympics in Lillehammer (she beat out U.S. hopeful Nancy Kerrigan). Immediately following her Olympic triumph, Baiul moved to the United States and turned to the professional circuit. Fame, money and the freedom of the West thrust the pixie-like skater into a fast-paced, celebrity lifestyle she wasn't quite ready for. Buckling under the stress of numerous back and knee injuries brought on by sudden growth spurts, Baiul began skipping practices and dove headfirst into party-girl mode.

Extractions: How do you freeze a lake in the deep South? Well if you work at the Pensacola Civic Center, you need about 15 miles of pipe under concrete, a 40,000 pound ice plant and more than 48 straight hours of work! The refrigeration engineers at the Pensacola Civic Center have made freezing a lake in the South into a science of sorts. Did you know that it takes approximately 12,000 gallons of water to create an ice sheet? The entire process (from cleaning the floor which allows a strong bond between the concrete and the ice, to painting the logos - by hand! - on the ice, to the final formation of the ice floor) takes at least 48 hours. On the other hand, it takes only 22 hours to defrost the floor and clear the ice from the arena. A complex system of piping and refrigeration allows the Civic Center to offer a variety of programs that were unheard of in Pensacola just a few short years ago.
