Kurt Browning's 1991 World Championship Win



Talk about bringing a crowd to its feet. The music is drowned out by applause before the program comes to an end. Kurt Browning knows how to rise to the occasion and work an arena! Here Kurt wins his second-consecutive World Championship title in Halifax Nova Scotia.

The Brilliance of Brian Boitano, Part 2: "Music of the Night"



Spellbinding!!!! Brian is amazing. My favorite part is the spread eagle at the end of the program. Divine skating! Just as with his Olympic freeskate, this one always gives me chills!

The Brilliance of Brian Boitano: 1988 Olympic Freeskate



Brian Boitano's 1988 gold-medal-winning Olympic freeskate gives me chills. I was not yet five when he skated this in Calgary and was surely already in bed by the time this aired on TV. The first time I saw this program was on the Magic Memories on Ice VHS tape that my Aunt Kitty gave me. Sine then, this program has never ceased to amaze me. It's truly a magical Olympic skate!!

Change of Pace: Michelle Kwan's "The World is Not Enough" by Garbage



Something different from Michelle Kwan. This is her exhibition routine from the 2000 season. The music, "The World is Not Enough" by Garbage was the theme song from the 1999 James Bond film of the same name.

Enjoy!

Isabelle Brasseur & Lloyd Eisler's "Welcome to My World"



This performance by the 2-time Olympic bronze medalists ('92/'94) and 1993 World Champions is sensational! This program has always been one of my favorites in their repertoire. Though this pair skated to mostly fast-paced music in their professional careers and on the Champions on Ice tour, I always preferred them skating to slower music. I hope you'll enjoy this performance to "Welcome to My World" as much as I do!
