The St. Paul FSC has been producing US Figure Skating Gold Medalists since 1941. Since 1989, The Club has had a Gold Medalist every year! This is a rare accomplishment for any U.S. Figure Skating Club.
In order to pass the Gold Test, a skater must demonstrate to a panel of judges the ability to skate at least a four minute program displaying power, extension, precise footwork, and strong edge control. The program must be performed with style, rhythm, grace and sureness, in harmony with the music, and utilizing the full ice surface.
It takes years of dedication, training, and perseverance to achieve this goal. The Club's consistent focus on what it takes to accomplish this is represented by the high number of skaters who have passed the Gold Test over the years. Every skater who reaches this level of excellence does so with the support of others. St. Paul FSC coaches, parents, and club organizers play a very important role in creating an environment in which skaters are able to become US Figure Skating Gold Medalists.
