Shirra qualified for the 1964 Winter Olympic Games in Innsbruck, Austria where she placed 12th. Shirra went on to finish in the top 10 at the World Championships later that season. It was a special time…….spent with special people…many who went on to very long and productive skating careers as judges and coaches.
Shirra is an elite athlete and superb judge. Her contributions to skating in BC and Canada stand tall and have been a building block and inspiration for others to follow. Shirra, you are a very important member of this…..our skating family. We thank you immensely for all that you have accomplished and done for our sport.
