Skating Through It (2011)

What do a military flight attendant, a breast cancer survivor, and a pediatrician have in common? A healthy addiction to competitive figure skating. During the filming, Andy, who could be whisked away at a moment's notice from California to a war zone, suffered from anxiety, fear and stress-induced injuries, and fought for time to practice his skating program. Doctor Chris was consumed with his busy practice in Minnesota, but was separated from his wife and son, which weighed on his mind as he trained with his pairs partner. Shannon from Texas had quit her job as an architect to become a mother of three, and struggled to keep her skating going through life-threatening cancer treatment processes. Skating Through It chronicles their lives over a year as they battle their challenges and prepare for an adult national figure skating competition. They each gain and share valuable insights about themselves, and one unexpectedly wins a gold medal.
