Eve Chalom and partner Mathew Gates.
ast week's U.S. Figure
Skating Championships,
held in Detroit, will send
skating notables like Bri-
an Boitano, Scott Davis and
Nancy Kerrigan to the Winter
Olympics in Norway.666It also
put two local Jewish skaters a
step closer to their Olympic
dreams.
Dan Hollander, of Hunting-
ton Woods, said he was pleased
with his performance, 10th
overall in senior men's skating.
Although Mr. Hollander, 21,
also placed 10th in last year's
figure skating championships,
he said this year he faced more
competitors.
Fourteen-year-old Eve
Chalom, of Birmingham, and
her partner Mathew Gates
skated their way to a third-
place victory in the junior ice
dance.
Ms. Chalom has her hopes
set on the 1998 Olympics or the
Olympics in 2002.
Both Mr. Hollander and Ms.
Chalom were glad the compe-
tition was held in Detroit be-
cause they felt the audience was
generally on their side. Their
friends and family members en-
joyed being able to attend the
competition. Both also enjoyed
skating with some of the more
renowned skaters.
"Skating against Brian Boi-
tano was more of an honor than
Li
a competition for me right now,"
Mr. Hollander said. "I know I
will be able to compete against
him, I just need more consis-
tency."
Mr. Hollander
and
Ms. Chalom
were glad the
competition was
held in Detroit.
Ms. Chalom, who began
skating five years ago, practices
three hours a day at the Detroit
Skating Club. She got hooked
on the sport when a friend took
her to to the rink. Mr. Hollan-
der got into skating 17 years
ago. After first being exposed to
roller-skating, he quickly made
the transition to ice skating.
Mr. Hollander, a student at
Oakland University, and Ms.
Chalom, a freshman at Birm-
ingham Groves High School,
said skating competitively has
forced them to make some ad-
justments to devote time to the
sport. Last year, Ms. Chalom
had to change the date of her
bat mitzvah because it conflict-
ed with a competition.
