Jennifer Kirk is a former competitive skater who’s love for the sport has been manifested into a blog for TrueSlant.com. She loves what the blog has given her—a voice. “I never really had an outlet to speak out about some of what goes on behind closed doors in the skating world and other injustices in the sport. “ Kirk said in interview.
She’s enjoyed the light she’s been able to shine on the sport and being able to include her own experiences in her blog. The blog hasn’t only given her a way to express her love for the sport but also to keep in touch with the skating community. “I've connected with many skaters whom I had been in close contact with during my career but fell out of touch with after I left the sport. “
As well, the blogging world has given Kirk a way to still be apart of the skating world even after leaving competitive skating. And as for the upcoming Winter Olympic games? Kirk said that she can’t wait to see all the disciplines but especially the comebacks. Kirk mentions Shen and Zhao among the comebacks she wants to see. But Plushenko is the one Kirk is most looking forward to, “I think because of Plushenko's return, the men's event will probably be the most exciting this season.”
