August is
here, and the upcoming Saturday night shows on resort ice will shine the
spotlight more on some of the world’s top singles skaters.
Ice show
producer Rainer Kolb said last week he has signed reigning world
champion and 2002 Olympic silver medalist Irina Slutskaya of Russia for
the Aug. 17 show.
Another
highlight is the appearance of two-time national silver medalist Sasha
Cohen on Aug. 31.
That’s
not all. Spinning expert Lucinda Ruh, a huge hit in the ice show two
summers ago, headlines the show of Saturday, Aug. 3. French native Surya
Bonaly comes Aug. 24.
And the
Aug. 10 headliner is Japan’s Takeshi Honda, who was second in the
Olympic men’s singles short program and fourth overall.
Tickets
are now on sale at the Sun Valley Sports Center, 622-2231.
