Mao Asada's "Piano Concerto No.2" from the 2014 Sochi Olympics

This gives me chills every time. Mao has the heart of a champion.

"Edges of Spain" from 1993 Stars on Ice featuring Kristi Yamaguchi, Katarina Witt, Gordeeva & Grinkov, and Brian Orser.

Classic skating from the very best.

Vincent Zhou's "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" from 2021 Skate America

Vincent Zhou's 2021 Skate America freeskate was my favorite program of the Fall season. Coming off of a devasting performance at last year's World Championships, in which he didn't qualify for the freeskate, Vincent never lost belief in himself and earned a decisive victory over an undefeated Nathan Chen. The technical proficiency and joy that Vincent exhibited was inspring!

Kristi Yamaguchi & the 1993 Stars on Ice Cast: Queen's "Who Wants to Live Forever"

The glory days of Stars on Ice yielded many memorable programs, including this pairs routine featuring Kristi Yamaguchi and all the men pair skaters in the cast, including the great Sergei Grinkov. This was Kristi's first year of 10 with the Stars on Ice tour. the

Jamie Sále and David Pelletier, Elena Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze & Todd Eldredge in "Sing Sing Sing: Part 2" from 2003 Stars on Ice.

In this performance, two of the best pairs teams of all-time skate in a group number with the great Todd Eldgredge in their first year on Stars on Ice, following the Salt Lake City gold medal scandal. Power, beauty, and grace combine in this dynamic piece to "Sing Sing Sing Part 2." I was fortunate enough to see it in person at the Wilkes Barre stop on the 2003 Stars on Ice Tour.

Start of the 2021-2022 Olympic Season Inspiration: Stephane Lambiel part 2

During the 2010 Olympic season, reigning Olympic silver medalist Stephane Lambiel, came to Vancouver with this fantastic short program to "William Tell Overture" by Gioachino Rossini. The footwork sequence is my favorite part. Stephane's creativity, musicality, and passion is what makes him one of skating's most talented artists and athletes.

Start of the 2021-2022 Olympic Season Inspiration: Stephane Lambiel part 1

I'm a few minutes away from tuning in to the first event of the 2021-2022 Olympic Skating season. As I look toward the season ahead, I can't help but recall some of the great Olympic seasons of the past. In 2006, following his silver medal at the Torino games, Stephane Lambiel delivered one of his finest, most exciting freeskates to the dynamic "Four Seasons," by Vivaldi. Skating head-to-head with French Champion Brian Joubert, Lambiel rose to the occassion and clinched his second-straight victory in this emotionally-charged win. This program has everything: difficulty, unique choreography, blurred spins, and intensity.
