FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
With great excitement, the WFC Organizing Team announces that Olympian Gary Beacom will compete in the
2016 World Figure Championship in Toronto!
"I am eager to take part in this prestigious event, which has attracted the interest of notable historical figures
in the sport. The World Figure Championship has the potential to complement modern figure skating by focusing attention on the fundamental virtues of truth, beauty, and justice from which we
have developed. The discipline of Figures will enhance mastery of glide and balance on the ice as well as encourage performance innovations.
Figures forms the geometrical and physics underpinning of technique on the ice of which we have lost sight in recent
decades. The essence of skating technique involves an understanding of the law of conservation of angular momentum, which governs the relationship of speed, arc, lean, and rotation. It also
refines body alignment and athletic posture. Better balance and control manifests itself in aesthetic positions, the curtailment of two foot skating, a sense of sustained rhythm and melodic
integrity, and efficiency of motion. The tangible benefits of a return to Figure-Skating science are injury prevention, audience appreciation, and avoidance of politics that comes with better
education.
I am very much aligned with the ideals and objectives of World Figure Sport and look forward to competing in the
2016 World Figure Championship in December at the North Toronto Memorial Arena!
It is my hope that I can inspire skaters from the spectrum of ages and levels to take part in this international
event. Figures do not require extreme exertion or risk, and are a valuable exercise irrespective of age, competitive aspirations, or experience."
See you in Toronto!
Gary Beacom
