A great accomplishment in the realm of personal narrative. Full Circle was a powerful work of signifigance. Deeply emotional, the book transcends Jansen's extraordinary battle as a parable of every athlete's struggle for personal developement. McCallum weaves an enduring tale that athlete, sports nut, or soccer mom can internalize to better understand the common struggle manifested by sports. More eloquent even than Shaq Attaq, Full circle is an accomplishment of aesthetics and moral comprehension.

Figure skating
Figure skating is an ice skating sporting event where individuals and mixed couples compete to try to perform the most spectacular and accurately-performed elements while skating to music. Figure skaters use skates which differ slightly from hockey skates, to perform spins, jumps, and other "moves" on the ice, often to music. There are international competitions for figure skating, such as the World Championships and figure skating is also an official event in the Winter Olympics Table of contents 1 Jumps

Jumps
There are six major jumps in figure skating. All six are landed on a right back outside edge, but have different takeoffs, by which they may be distinguished. The two categories of jumps are toe jumps and edge jumps. Toe jumps are launched by tapping the toe pick of one skate into the ice, and include (in order of difficulty from easiest to hardest):
  • Toe loops, which take off from the back outside edge of the right foot and are launched by the left toe pick (toe walleys are similar, but take off from the back inside edge of the right foot);

    Biographies Women in Sports HOME Milestones in Women's Sport Peggy Fleming
    In 1961, the entire United States Figure Skating team was killed in a plane crash on its way to the Prague World Championships. Peggy Fleming was eleven years old and her coach was one of those killed. With all of her role models gone, it would be up to her to create an image of style and grace that would carry her to five U.S. Titles, three World Titles, and in 1968 to an Olympic Gold Medal.
    ABC televised the 1968 Winter Games live and in color for the first time ever, and the enduring image from that coverage will always be of Peggy's free-skating program. It was a program that won her the Gold Medal by 88.2 points over her closest competitor, and it would be the only Gold Medal the United States brought home from Grenoble.
    That image, televised by satellite, of a young woman in a chartreuse dress fulfilling her dream as a nation watched, was the beginning of a long and mutually satisfying relationship with television. Six months after those Olympics, Peggy would star in the first of five TV specials. Her Sun Valley Special won two Emmy Awards, and in 1973, her fourth special became the first joint production by Soviets and Americans filmed entirely in the USSR.
    Her career has continued to expand, not only in television appearances ranging from "Diagnosis Murder" and "Newhart" to hosting a special on poaching in East Africa, but also into commercial endorsements. The diversity of Peggy Fleming's marketing development set the standard for today's generations of figure skaters. Because of her continuing popularity, corporations have come to realize the universal appeal of her sport, and Peggy remains its graceful symbol and most identifiable personality.

    Carpenter, Connie (Mrs. Phinney)
    Cycling, Speed skating
    b. Feb. 26, 1957, Madison, WI
    Shortly before her fifteenth birthday, Carpenter finished seventh in the 1,500-meter speed skating event at the 1972 Olympics. She won the U. S. outdoor over-all championship in 1976, but injured an ankle and missed the Olympics. Like most speed skaters, Carpenter trained on a bicycle during the off-season. After her ankle injury, she began cycling competitively and won the national road and pursuit championships in 1976, 1977, and 1979. Carpenter suffered a concussion in a fall and temporarily quit cycling to return to the University of California-Berkeley, where she took up rowing. She was a member of the crew that won the 1980 national collegiate championship in the four-oared shell with coxswain. Carpenter returned to cycling in 1981 and won the national road and two-points championships that year. She was also the national two-points champion in 1982 and criterium champion in 1982 and 1983. Carpenter set a world record of 3:49.53 in winning the 1983 world pursuit championship. The following year, she became the first U. S. cyclist since 1912 to win an Olympic medal. Rebecca Twigg of the U. S. took the lead in the Olympic road race with 50 meters to go, but Carpenter pulled even just 3 meters from the tape, then eased out of the saddle and threw her arms forward to propel her bike across the finish line less than half a wheel length ahead of Twigg. It was a trick she'd learned from her husband, Davis Phinney, who won a bronze in the team time trial.

    It's tall and it's slim (3-3/4" X 8-5/8"). Take it with you, but read it and study it if you really want to learn how to relax and sleep during air travel. The little handbook gives you a lot of information that will be very helpful in general. You still might not sleep while traveling on a plane, but the methods taught here are good and you may very well doze off for a while. This gives you a running chance to be sane and rested when you arrive. The booklet talks about all the corners and depths of your intended flight. Where is the best place to sit in a jetliner? Here are the choices. Select one that is just right for you. We get lots of hints of good things to do before you get to the airport. When you arrive and board, you will know what to expect. Much of the little book talks about sleep and relaxation, and the subjects are treated in a non-boring way.

    Speed skating is a Winter Olympic Games medal sport. The sport was revolutionized in the 1990s with the introduction of clap skates , allowing competitors to reach speeds of nearly 40 miles per hour.
    Rules
    Speed skating is currently conducted on ovals with artificial ice. The length of the track for the major competitions is 400 m, but tracks of 333 m or 200 m are also in use. All races are held in pairs, for which two lanes on the track are used. At the back straight, the skaters switch lanes which causes them both to cover the same distance per lap.

    Competition Format
    Single distances
    The most basic form of speed skating consists of skating a single event. This is the format used for the World Single Distance Championships and the World Cup. Usual distance include the 500 m, 1000 m, 1500 m, 3000 m (women only), 5000 m and 10000 m (men only), but several other distances are sometimes skated. For championships, the 500 m and the 1000 m are currently conducted in two runs, with the final ranking based on accumulated times.
