A Holiday Bonus: Jeffrey Buttle's "Ave Maria"

Jeffrey Buttle, the 2006 Olympic bronze medalist and the 2008 World Champion, is one of the most beautiful, inventive artistic skaters in recent years. Under the new judging system, which rewards a skater's transitions, connections, footwork, and execution of elements, Jeffrey thrived, challenging others to rise to his standards of intricate, smooth, artistic skating. He's one of my all-time favorite Canadian skaters.

Enjoy this holiday "Ave Maria" exhibition from the 2005 Holiday on Ice show.
