In honor of U.S. Figure Skating’s Centennial Celebration, we will be kicking off each month by asking our fans to share their skating memories on social media. At the beginning of January, we posed possibly the toughest question of them all: who is your favorite skater of all time?
U.S. Figure Skating is currently celebrating its centennial anniversary. Not all superheros wear capes and not all superfans wear skates. There are plenty of people who contribute to the sport from the other side of the boards. Claudyne Cassella Hutchinson is a fixture in the audience at skating competitions domestically and internationally. She can sometimes be spotted in a signature blue scarf, but other times opts to blend in with the crowd. Even during this spectator-less season, this figure skating superfan’s presence has been known in the form of a cardboard cutout.
“We all fall. It’s how we get up that matters.”

They are also at the core of U.S. Figure Skating’s Get Up campaign.
On Monday, February 1, 2021, U.S. Figure Skating will invite people from around the United States to participate in the fifth annual National Get Up® Day presented by Guaranteed Rate. The day will be a celebration of those who embody the Get Up® spirit. On this day, people are encouraged to share their stories at WeGetUp.com, by using #WeGetUp or by contacting their local media outlet with their story, or the story of a friend or loved one, or an organization that is doing inspiring Get Up® work in their community.
