Watch Yee's inspiring story in the Far from Home series produced by the Olympic Channel.

Mah favourite history maker underdog skating son *w* indeed an inspiring video doc  (he is both one of the most engaging performers on the circuit and a sensitive sweet guy with a loving supportive family - superMom and skating siblings included :D - ) .

Quite interesting too when it comes to the specifics of  training upgrade from his small mall rink to a professional one  - with the help of a cross betwen a fishing rod and harness to fix his jumping technique among other things - and his feelings about the meaning and beauty of figure  skating and the struggles to break through in a winter sport from a tropical climate country… Malaysia national ice treasure  :D

Hope to see him skating and improving at least until the next Olympics too - and qualifying for the free there :,) -.

A Short and Extremely Biased Introduction to Figure Skating

Figure skating has four disciplines--Men's, Ladies', Pairs, and Ice Dance. All feature a short program (between 2.5 and 3 minutes) and a long (either 4 or 4.5 minutes depending on the discipline). Additionally, most if not all skaters prepare exhibition programs--non-competitive skating for ice shows, post-competition galas, etc. Exhibitions are often a lot of fun, as skaters can use props and do other things that aren't allowed in competition.

I've linked one example of each kind of program for each discipline, making sure to not repeat any skaters. These are all programs I really love, for a variety of reasons. You don't have to watch all of them but hopefully you check out and enjoy at least a few! I've put a star next to my favourite in each of the four categories.
