"Cracked Ice: Figure Skating's Inner World, due for release in mid-November, is the first book written by someone from the secretive inner circles of Olympic-level figure skating officials and rule makers. Bianchetti, who was a judge or referee at seven consecutive Olympic Games, was the first woman to serve on the powerful ISU Council. In [i]Cracked Ice, she describes an organization in which officials are punished for speaking out or even proposing a vote, minutes of meetings are changed after the fact, Council members learn of decisions for the first time from journalists seeking quotes, and corrupt judges are given slaps on the wrist and routinely reassigned to panels."
