Welcome to MY World...

The Wonderful World of TIA

Welcome to all of you!!
For all of you that know me I am sure you know not to expect anything controversial, political and least of all anything BORING...so enjoy and Dont Forget to sign my GUESTBOOK!!

Those of you who know me...the first question people ALWAYS ask me is "Tia, are you still into your figure skating?"
OK so let me tell you that even though my skating career is over and I might not have made it to the olympics but I did pretty well!! With the team (Les Dynamiques) and without the team!
In 1992 Les Dynamiques won Provincial Championships and got the Bronze Medal at Canadian Championships in Regina Sask. I recieved a Silver Medal and Bronze Medal et les Jeux du Quebec for Freestyle and Interprative. I was awarded with my Home Clubs PRESTIGIOUS Teacher of the YEAR AWARD.
In 1993 Les Dynamiques won Provincial Championships and went on to win the Candian Championships as well every competition we went to in 1993 we won GOLD!! As for my solo career I became a certified Senior A Coach, my students were my pride and joy! Unfortunately a leg injury plagued my jumping ability and I didn't compete solo that year.
In 1994 Les Dynamiques made the jump to Senior competition and our first competition of the year brought us to Turku in FINLAND!! We came in FOURTH and got a silver medal at Provincials, at Canadians we placed 3rd in the long program and 6th overall which put us on Team Canada we were going to Detroit to represent Canada!! Still not able to compete solo, but having fun and started Ice-Dance!
1995 I consider this the BLACK age for Les Dynamiques, we won ONE Silver Medal at Divisionals in Calgary and that was it the team split up and Les Dynamiques were no more. As for me since 1995, I still put on my skates and I can still jump a little, I coach a little to help out. So as a final answer to your question...Skating will always be one of the biggest parts of my life and even though  I never made it to the OLYMPICS,
I had an AWESOME TIME trying to get there!!
*Here it is the latest news for all of you, LES DYNAMIQUES have been REBORN!! Our first year of competition begins in 2005. WHISH US LUCK!!!
