SHOES WITH BLADES

Jamie Sale and David Pelletier captured the world's imagination with their flawless performance at the 2002 Salt Lake City winter Olympics. The judges scandal that was revealed when they were first awarded only a silver medal made them household names. The re-evaluation of their performance and the new knowledge of judge-tempering resulted in them being awarded a well-deserved gold medal.

The above skates are donated by Jamie and David to be shown in the Bata Museum. Sale's boots were made in the U.S. by Riedell and her blades, customized with her name, were made by John Wilson Skates, England. Pelletier's skates were made in Canada by Graf and his Ultima freestyle blades are Canadian too.
