Watch Ilia Kulik, then 20-years of age, deliver one of the most calm, cool, and collected Olympic short programs in recent memory. As 1984 Olympic gold medalist and commentator, Scott Hamilton, says in this broadcast, while the other competitors were "sweating themselves to sleep at night", Ilia skated as if the Olympics were "ho, hum...just another day at the office!"
Ilia's effortless style of skating, his huge, airy jumps, and his air of youthful musicality secured him the 1998 Olympic title in convincing fashion.
Enjoy Ilia Kulik's 1998 Olympic short program to "Revolutions" by Jean Michel Jarre!!
