Hawayek/ Baker Cheer Thread

[Sylvia]

Bumping up their fan thread 5 months later with positive news - Kaitlin posted on May 1, 2023 "Beginning that creative process again and it feels so good @mf_dubreuil": https://www.instagram.com/p/CrtLvS7rbEP/

Jean-Luc posted these clips & pics on Mother's Day yesterday: https://www.instagram.com/p/CsOmBRfu47X/

I’ve been waiting to share the videos in this post for a couple months now because of how special the day was for me. I got to share one of the things I love the most with the woman I love the most. I will cherish this day that my Mom and I got to skate together and dance for the rest of my life. Seeing the smile on her face to skate again and play with me was something I know I’ll never forget.
Thank you to my mom for always pushing me further than I believe I can go and showing me that there is always a light in everything. Thank you for being weird, crazy and unapologetically you. You are amazing
And thank you to all of mothers out there today and I hope you feel the love all around you and understand how amazing each and every one of you are

Kaitlin Hawayek is Team USA Ice Dancer and a 2022 Pyeongchang Olympian. She is a 5x Bronze Medalist at the National Figure Skating Championship, 2018 Four Continents Champion, 2018 NHK Trophy Champion, and 2014 World Junior Champion. Kaitlin takes us through her junior career, highlighting the lessons she learned in competing in a multitude of environments at a young age. She shares her journey struggling with an eating disorder and how she grew into a healthy relationship with her body image. Later in her career, facing near career ending injuries, Katilin discusses how she took a pause from sport in order to take care of her physical and mental health. Through her journey, Kaitlin shares incredible advice for women athletes on how to take care of our bodies and minds, to advocate for our needs, and to find and develop resources for both our personal and athletic success and longevity.

"I am limitless. I am neither who I was or who I want to be, but I am who I am right now. I am a human that has so many values beyond sport. Sport is what I do. Art is what I share. But I love myself because of my kindness, because of my resilience, and because of my passion and creativity." - Kaitlin Hawayek

Joint post today (Oct. 25): https://www.instagram.com/p/Cy1Ig4RObs8/

Hi everyone, as you might have seen today we announced our withdrawal from the Grand Prix series which was certainly not an easy decision. With transparency, this year has been full of ups and downs for us as a team. We recently took a fall that resulted in a concussion for Jean-Luc. While the recovery is going well, if we have learned anything over the course of our career, it is that concussions are not an injury to rush the process of returning from.

For that reason we are postponing our return to competition to foster the best recovery possible. Our passion to compete is still very much present, we have just had to be more patient than expected this past year. We have our sights set on returning to compete at the National championships where we can come into the event with the best physical and mental health possible.

As always, we continue to feel everyone’s support and that means so much to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

Kaitlin and Jean-Luc

Well at least we know why they had to withdraw.I'll keep hoping and praying for the best for these two, that they'll actually make it to Nationals and make everyone take notice about how good they can be.
