US Olympic Silver Medalist Nancy Kerrigan is going to be a contestant on Dancing with the Stars this season.
A friend of mine has an interview scheduled and he asked if the Figure Skating community has any questions.

Boots, blades, and ROH.
Some of what you do now is shows on artificial (plastic) ice. Plus show management must involve walking on and off the ice. How do those change choices about blades and edges?
How many hours a week do you skate for yourself, as opposed to managing or teaching others?
Do you still love it? (Or maybe she would feel she has to answer yes to the last question, for show ratings...)
Thanks for all the questions! I'll let you know when the interview is available!
Here's the interview, short but sweet! He used some of our questions!
