Albany FSC skaters recently
participated in
SKATEFEST 2012 at the Empire
State Plaza along with Olympians
Sarah and Emily Hughes. See the
Times Union article with
photos.
The Albany FSC was recently
invited to skate at the opening
of the Empire State Plaza's ice
skating rink. Several Club
members performed their solo
programs, and our Beginner
Synchro team skated, as well.
Click on the skater's name below
to watch their performance on
Youtube.
Our Club members also helped
other skaters on the ice during
the public skating session. See
Youtube 1 and
Youtube 2.
Two AFSC members were recognized
for their accomplishments at the
AFSC Winter Ice Show on November
27th. Lukas Sotola not only
passed the Senior Moves in the
Field Test in 2010, but in 2011
he also passed the new Senior
Supplementary Moves in the
Field, consisting of the new
testing requirements. One of our
new Collegiate members, Alexis
Fischer, completed a series of
23 required ice dances to pass
her Gold Dance test in 2011.
Alexis comes to us from the
Glens Falls Figure Skating Club,
where she also passed the Senior
Moves in the Field and Senior
Freeskate tests, making her a
triple gold medalist. AFSC
congratulates these exceptional
skaters and their families.
