Can anyone give me some info on her bio & carreer, as a skater and as a coach? I was trying to find some info on the web, but I haven't been particularly lucky so far.... Thank you!!

Hi, I'll see what I can find. Are you looking for interest or are you doing an article about her?

Here's an article but there's not much about her just that she's a coach and mother to Nicky Slater.

Joan is the lady in the white top in the middle (easy to spot as the rest are men!)

I'm planning on interviewing her next time she comes to Italy (I thought about this after finding her at the rink I often visit to see Faiella & Scali train - she comes more than once a year to work with them and their teammates on compulsaory dances).
I'm pretty sure we'll see her again in the smmer, so I wanted to dig a bit of info first - you know, to ask better questions and avoid stupid ones! :oops: :D

Hi again :D Why don't you contact Jimmy Young (http://www.skatepro.f9.co.uk/), if anyone can help you he can! You can e-mail him via his website.

Good luck
