Where do I start I am so behind it isn't funny. I guess the best thing is to start backward and keep going till I catch up. So here we go......
This last week I made a very cool discovery. Don't ask me why it took me so long to figure this out but it did. Since January MacKenzie has been taking ice skating lessons. She has taken four sessions the last that just ended this week. I was looking at the schedule to see when it would start up again and what time the classes would be. While on the website I went over to the coaches page to see what it said about the three coaches that MacKenzie had, when I got a very plesant suprise. Below is the blurb from the rinks site:
Tatyana Malinina U.S. Junior National Coach, 25 years skating experience, 2 time Olympic and 10 time world competitor. 3rd place in World Championship free skating.
Then I did a little more searching and found out even more on her. Tatyana is a very serious coach. Not mean but you can see that she is out there to teach the kids and wants to see them succeed. This makes so much more sense now. She is a really good coach and we liked her alot. After googleing her name I found some stuff on Youtube of her. It isn't the best quiality but it is from 1999. You can also see more about here and here.

And the coach that MacKenzie had the session before was her husband Roman Skorniakov. We really liked him too. Below is video of him at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake. He also skated in the 1998 Olympics in Nagano. You can read more about him here and here. Here is the description the rinks site of Roman:Roman Skornyakov Figure Skating and Hockey Skating Coach. U.S. Junior National Coach, 2 time Olympic and 7 time World Competitor, numerous International competitions, Coaching degree in Physical Education in Figure Skating.

We have been very very happy with all of the coaches that MacKenzie has had at the rink and plan to keep her going there for as long as she is interested. This just makes us realized that we are definitely getting the best training around.
