...control, really not safe, which you hate to see in women’s hockey.”PRINCETON 6, HARVARD 1No. 6 Princeton proved to be too much for Harvard, outperforming the Crimson at every facet of the game in a 6-1 rout at Baker Rink. Freshman netminder Brittany Martin suffered her first collegiate defeat “We weren’t ready for it,” Raimondi said. “It was not a fun loss for anyone, and it stung. But if you don’t come to play, that can happen...
...When she spoke to reporters at a press conference on Saturday afternoon, Kwan did not let on that she had actually strained a muscle during a fall at the practice session just an hour before. "Yesterday I woke up stiff, so I headed to the rink early to do my usual jump rope and stretching (to warm up before getting on the ice)," she said on Sunday.

Gae Aulenti, the Italian architect who turned Paris' Gare d'Orsay into a stunning modern museum, has applied her magic to the 1960s-era Palavela skating rink.

At the rink, with so many partners ending up in - and out of - romances, the athletes call the skating soap opera As the Blade Turns. "Being a skating partner is like being in a marriage, without the sex," says top U.S. ice dancer Ben Agosto, whose partnership with newly minted U.S. citizen Tanith...
...attend. Neither showed. For nearly four years, it wasn't safe for Ohno to skate in Korea, but in October he arrived in Seoul for a short-track World Cup event. At the airport he was greeted by 100 police in riot gear (for his protection), and at the rink he was disqualified for pushing, delighting the packed house. Otherwise, things couldn't have gone more smoothly. "No death threats while I was in Korea nor leading up to the competition," says Ohno. "Actually, a very high-ranking Korean speed-skating official was telling me that I may have sparked...
