If you're a skating history nerd like me, which I'm guessing may be the case if you're a long-time reader of Skate Guard, you're going to love what's coming in July.

Instead of the usual two blog a week format, I'll be mixing things up by releasing over a dozen blogs at once next week. They all have the same theme - results! Over the last couple of years during the pandemic, I have been toiling away in old records and archives to compile comprehensive historical competition results that haven't been previously made available online.

Here's the line-up:

Pre-World War II World Championships (all categories from each event)

Pre-World War II European Championships (all categories from each event)

Precursors to the U.S. Championships (Championships Of America)

Canadian Divisional and Sectional Championships

U.S. Regional and Sectional Championships

Novice and Junior winners at the U.S. Championships

North American Championships

British Championships

Australian Championships

New Zealand Championships

South African Championships

Finnish Championships

Norwegian Championships

Swiss Championships

Polish Championships

All of these records will be linked from Skate Guard's Results page.

Skate Guard will be back with its usual two blog a week format in August... and I can't wait to share more fascinating stories from skating history with you!
