International Figure Skating

International Figure Skating has articles on past, present, and future skaters from all countries, but mainly the U.S., Canada, Russia, the U.K. and Asia. It was recently taken over by a new publisher who has made a few changes, mainly changing the focus from short paragraphs about skaters to longer, detailed articles. Other changes include a listing of web pages featuring skaters, articles aimed at skating students, and movies, television and books about skating. Remaining as features are results from competitions and a long article each issue on a featured skaters. The pictures are well done.

International Figure Skating is a good read for figure skating fans.

IFS gives the most up-to-date info on the sport's current and former champions as well as the up-and-comers. An excellent overview of the championship and professional circuit with stylish photos, this is THE magazine for fans.

I was looking for a magazine with interesting, informative, enlightening content. I didn't find it in this publication and you won't either. I won't be renewing my subscription and that's the real indication of the lack of value in this magazine.

Although raised in sunny Cuba I learned how to skate in that country at age 6 and have been an avid figure skating fan ever since. I had the good fortune of meeting Sonja Henie, in Cuba, as a child when she skated there in 1952.

It took me years to locate a magazine on figure skating, but finally located and subscribed to IFS. I have been a subscriber for over ten years.

Although it went through a recent change in ownership, it only became better, offering the reader now a section on books, videos and television times which I have found very helpful.

The articles are,indeed, international in scope and offer good coverage of current events as well as what has turned out to be very good glimpses of future stars. I read my issues cover to cover and that never changes. The interviews are well documented, and the graphics are beautifully laid out. I hope others can share in my enthusiasm for this fine publication.
