(October 30, 2007 - OTTAWA, ON.) -Some of Canada's favourite and most
decorated figure skaters will be reporting on events in Québec
City. Tracy Wilson, Kurt Browning and Jamie Salé and David Pelletier
have been hired by CBC to use their expertise in reporting on events
at the 2007 HomeSense Skate Canada International events. They will
join Scott Russell and Brenda Irving as part of CBC's Figure Skating
team.
Browning, a four-time World and Canadian Champion, and arguably one of
Canada's most popular champions ever, will be sharing his thoughts on
the ladies' and men's competitions. This is the first time Kurt will
be working for a Canadian broadcaster at home events but his
partnership with CBC is not new. Skating fans will remember his
outstanding work with CBC at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games.
Joining Browning will be Olympic and World Bronze Medalist in ice
dance Tracy Wilson who has had a successful career as a television
host, broadcaster and commentator since retiring from competition. The
skaters and the fans love her fair, in-depth and positive style and
she is recognized worldwide as a leader in the broadcast
field.
Olympic and World Champions Jamie Salé and David Pelletier will be
using their past experience to provide commentary and analysis of the
pairs event. Salé and Pelletier made their debut as commentators last
year on CTV when Debbi Wilkes handed over the microphone at Home Sense
Skate Canada International in Victoria.
Another addition to the CBC team will be skating coach and commentator
PJ Kwong, whose voice is famous from in-venue announcing for both
Skate Canada and the ISU. PJ will be providing commentary on Country
Canada, CBC's digital channel, writing regular columns for CBC.ca, and
acting as Skate Canada's in-venue Host at HomeSense Skate Canada
International and BMO Canadian Figure Skating Championships this
season.
Don't miss any moment of the event!
