Belinda Noonan recently delighted viewers with her commentary on the world feed of the 2023 World Figure Skating Championships with partner Mark Hanretty. Belinda has been a figure skating commentator at every Olympic Winter Games since 1998 and has provided commentary for the Olympic Broadcast Service in 2014, 2018 and 2022. In addition to her broadcast work, she is a former Australian Champion in women's and pair skating, an international medalist, and a coach at the World Championships and Olympic Games.
I had a chance to chat with Belinda about her views on figure skating commentary, her views on the sport, how figure skating can expand around the globe and what she likes and doesn't like about the current rules.

In 1994, Oksana Baiul became the first Olympic Champion of independent Ukraine. Today, she is an outspoken advocate for Ukrainian athletes and has implored Thomas Bach and the IOC to ban Russian and Belarusian athletes from the Olympic Games and international sporting events. In our conversation, we discuss her feelings about state-sponsored athletes, Viktor Petrenko's participation in Tatiana Navka's ice shows, the Kamila Valieva doping scandal, the U.S. citizenship status of Eteri Tutberidze and why she spoke out against Sasha Zhulin on Twitter.
