good news keeps rolling in for Michael Weiss.

does a spread eagle on his heels with the new blade.
The crowd goes wild. |
The
"Freedom Blade" , an innovative blade for figure
skaters, has been approved by the International Skating Union.
By gaining ISUs approval, that makes the blade available
to every skater.
Skate
regulations for eligible skaters are lenient, but one requirement
is that skates used by any one athlete must be available
to all. With ISUS approval, the "Freedom Blade"
now becomes available to all skaters and is eligible during
tests and competitions.
Nick
Perna, a skating coach who assists Michael in training,
developed the "Freedom Blade". The revolutionary
blade has been developed and manufactured by John Watts
Skates in Sheffield, England.
