The #UpAgain campaign – a partnership between the International Skating Union (ISU) and Redtorch – has been extended with the release of its Pride Special this month.

The Show’s presenter, Elma Smit, discusses with skating superstars Brittany Bowe and Guillaume Cizeron what Pride means to them and their experience of being a gay athlete. Look out for a surprise appearance from Drag Queen and skating fan, MILK.

Enjoy the full episode here:

Originally created to fill the void left by an absence of live competition and events, the #UpAgain Show is released monthly and airs on ISU’s YouTube Channel. Elma welcomes some of the world’s greatest skating stars and deep dives into their extraordinary stories.
Redtorch supports the ISU during this project through:

  • strategy/planning/management
  • paid media
  • graphic design/video production
  • copy writing/content posting
  • community management

I am a food-loving, dog-appreciating, hockey player.

My most memorable sporting moment is
Full on face planting on the Spine Ramp at FISE Montpellier in front of a crowd of 6,000 people and a load of professional Skateboarders...

I am happiest when …   
I have food in my mouth.

The sports person that best represents me is …  
Kate Richardson-Walsh.

The three things at the top of my bucket list are …
1. Travel around China and Japan
2. Meet Trixie Mattel
3. Learn a second language

A quote I live my life by is …  
“They say I'm the Hottest MC in the Game. If you label me that, I will live up to it. Trust me.” – Lil Wayne.
