Does this mean that your Ice Dancin Career might have a glimmer (or should that be shimmer?????) of hope left in it still?????
I think you may be right about the skiing thing. Can’t remember for sure. But I know he turned back in recent years.
No idea about the commentating. Haven’t seen him in at least two years or so.
Jay was contracted to both the Seven and Nine network broadcasts of the Winter Olympics, so I guess we’ll see if he’s picked up by Ten? I’m not sure who else they could get? Any ideas?
He’s by no means the only snowboarder to come out of the closet - Pete Murphy, the guy who put riding/skiing Japan on the map (with a huge amount of help from me), now almost exclusively freeheel skis.
