At the 2008 Canadian Figure Skating National Championships, Emanuel Sandhu, one of the countries best male figure skaters and former 3 time Canadian Champion, withdrew from the competition. Why? Does anyone really know??

My guess would be that since he has lost his title to Jeffrey Buttle, an amazing young and talented skater, who is probably my favorite out of the Canadian men, Sandhu just isn’t doing it anymore. He cannot deliver the performance when it is needed, he made a fool of himself at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. I have never really liked Sandhu, he can be a good skater when he wants to be….but besides that he pretty much sucks. His costumes are always too over the top, his style is way too flamboyant, and he wears way too much make up…he wears more than any girl or skater that I know of in this sport. I honestly have to say that it is nice to be able to watch a national level figure skating event and not have to sit through the painful performance of Emanuel Sandhu.
