The Ice Skating Podcast, episode 16: Olympic Qualifiers with Mark Hanretty, Junior Grand Prix with Ted Barton and mental health with Canada's Fabien Abejean

Welcome to another packed episode of The Ice Skating Podcast!

This episode we are reflecting on the Nebelhorn Trophy – and the final places for the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games being secured. There were thrills and spills, heartache and joy at the Nebelhorn, and commentator Mark Hanretty guides us through it all.

The Junior Grand Prix is almost at its conclusion, meanwhile, and commentator Ted Barton guides us through some of the young figure skaters to watch over the rest of the season – and those to come.

Finally, Canada's Short Track Speed Skating mental preparation coach Fabien Abejean features in the third of our mini series exploring the importance of mental health and well-being in skating.

The Ice Skating Podcast is the official pod of The International Skating Union, and is hosted by Luke Norman and Nick Moore every fortnight.
