Seems like physical education studies are not the most popular in Japan. Skaters like Wakaba, Mai, Kaori, Marin are in business schools/economic sciences faculties.

Thank you - I'm glad you asked! Yes, he's brilliant brilliant. "A human being of the highest character", as P Mills put in his tribute to Tatsuki when he retired from pro skating in 2018.
The book is called A Research Introduction to Artistic Sports, and covers quite a broad scope, including copyright issues, sport management, sustainability of rinks, preservation of the FS culture, etc. There is also a program analysis on Rippon's Afternoon of a Faun in this book. And yes, it's only available in Japanese *sigh*. Here's a video of Tatsuki introducing it if you'd like to get a glimpse of the book, and himself ofc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me7kEDgwO90
This might go well off-topic for this thread (pardon my rambling...!!), but I'm just so happy to see people from international communities still talk about him.
OMG!! Congratulations Hanyu! I had a feeling that he's going to finish his thesis during this quarantine. So worth it being a dried up cactus.
Gary Beacom of Canada graduated from the University of Toronto in 1984 with a Bachelor of Science in physics and philosophy.
Jeff Buttle was majoring in chemical engineering at University of Toronto. I do not know whether he graduated.
Ice dancer Kimberley Navarro graduated cum laude in 2004 from Columbia...I believe she either majored or minored in dance.
Paul Wylie attended Harvard University and graduated in 1991 with a degree in government according to his Wikipedia entry?
It doesn't look like a disproportionate amount though? Just scanning through the thread again, there's quite a lot of law/finance/business/economics/sociology. PE/kinesiology/dance too. Medicine or pre-med is sort of debatable as a STEM discipline (I say this as someone in the life sciences).It's interesting to see how many of these degrees skew to STEM disciplines rather than arts and letters.
