Links to skating websites and blogs in Japanese

I don't know where this belongs but since it's still related to skating I decided to put it here.

As a student of Japanese I'm constantly in search of some reading materials that would be of interest to me and what can possibly be more interesting to a Mao fan than to read about Mao or skating in general?

My level is about intermediate and I'm not very good at searching the web in Japanese yet so I'd like to ask our Japanese speakers if they could post some links to their favourite skating sites, blogs, forums, magazines etc.

Let's collect them all here for whomever might be interested.

Thanks a lot!

Sure thing, kawaiimao!

dawa's blog
http://dawa.seesaa.net/
One of my favorite skating blogs, it usually focuses on the fun and nutty side of the skating world and has a steady fanbase from Japanese viewers of FS. Common victims of the blog's banter include Lysacek's outfits, TAT, and Shirley Hughes (Ashley Wagner's former coach).

Douga Kyuuden F (lit: Video Castle)

A figure skating videos link/news site + blog; shares many of its readers with dawa's blog above, and is unique in that the articles and entries are written not just by one, but several people. Also has a live chat feature within the site that becomes VERY crowded and flooded with messages during competition time.


The Figure Skating Databse

Probably the best place, hands down, on the Web when you want statistics and all the technical babble concerning CoP - its well maintained and covers CoP topics/guidelines in all four disciplines. Highly recommended.

Hope this helps!

Thank you very MAOuch KAWAIIMAO and Clovera.

Good idea and thanks for the links! I liked dawa's blog. Good sense of humor. lol. I liked the "Choreography of the year" poll. You could choose from Evan's guts pose spin, Miki's face (you know which one ) and Yukari's "tontontonton" in giselle... haha

Thanks Clovera!

I'm looking forward to exploring them all!

after I'm done with my exams
