What Does It Take to be a Figure Skater? (with Mericien Venzon)

Figure Skating. For a lot of people, it may seem like a simple winter activity, but it's not as easy as it looks. For my MCTV final, I decided to ask Mericien Venzon, a young and very talented figure skater, what it actually takes to figure skate.

For the montage at the end, I used the Jonas Brothers' song "Goodnight and Goodbye." You can also hear the instrumental throughout the rest of the video.

Mericien will be competing in the Philippines for a chance to represent them during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. Good luck Mericien! :)

Edit:
Congratulations to Mericien! =D Good luck in Germany!
