<p>The &#8220;Blades of Glory&#8221; parody film is no longer a joke after a skating league in Canada went <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-rogan-torches-woke-culture-after-police-force-wants-permission-for-robots-to-use-deadly-force">woke</a> when it announced it is redefining the term &#8220;team&#8221; for &#8220;pair and ice dance&#8221; competitions in the name of gender diversity.</p>
<p>In a press release on Tuesday <a href="https://skatecanada.ca/2022/12/definition-of-team-updated-to-reflect-gender-diversity-across-the-podium-pathway/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">from</a> Skate Canada, the organization said it was extending its &#8220;Skating for Everyone initiative&#8221; in the Podium Pathway by updating the term &#8220;team&#8221; to now consist of &#8220;two skaters.&#8221; The definition of &#8220;team&#8221; previously meant &#8220;one woman and one man.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;By updating the definition of team, many individuals in the figure skating community in Canada will have new opportunities to embrace the sport,&#8221; Karen Butcher, President of Skate Canada shared, noting that the change was about &#8220;removing barriers to participation in skating&#8221; that she said will ensure &#8220;all gender identities are recognized and accepted equally and without prejudice.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">We are pleased to be advancing our Skating for Everyone initiative with the updated definition of ‘team’ for pair and ice dance teams. </p>
<p>The Podium Pathway definition of ‘team’ will be revised to ‘a team consists of two skaters’.</p>

<p>&#8220;It was necessary for the ice dance and pair world to change their definition of team from a man and a woman to just two people skating together, however they identify,&#8221; Scott Moir, Skate Canada coach and Olympic Champion, added.</p>
<p>The Podium Pathway is the route athletes who are looking to compete in national or international championships go through, the <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/winter/figure-skating/skate-canada-updates-policy-ice-dance-pairs-1.6684286">CBC reported</a>.</p>
<p>Skaters in this group can then ultimately compete at the World and Olympics Championship level, per <a href="https://skateontario.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/DiscoveringPathways_Final.pdf">Skate Ontario</a>.</p>
<p>In the 2007 parody ice skating film &#8220;Blades of Glory,&#8221; Will Ferrell and Jon Heder play two &#8220;rival Olympic ice skaters&#8221; who &#8220;were stripped of their gold medals and permanently banned from men&#8217;s single competition,&#8221; according to a description on <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0445934/">IMDb</a>. The two skaters find a &#8220;loophole that will allow them to qualify as a pairs team&#8221; and end up skating together in a bizarre twist on the typical rom-com of a male and female pair skating film.</p>
