Media Management

Photography, autographs etc.

It is important for the skater to be able to prepare for competition, exercise and move around the area without being disturbed. It is respectful to wait with photography and autographs until the competition is over. A good photo opportunity is at the Gala. Note that use of flash is not allowed.
