That's great!
Someone just made a post about the TV version of the documentary somewhere (Be Good Johnny Weir), but I hadn't really heard anything about figure skating for years before this. Seems like he needs to put more jumps in there for a competition piece, though.

That is magnificent. I love the winter Olympics for stuff like that. :D

Oh my god why is that man so pretty??

But yeah, like oregano42 said, I was surprised how few jumps were in that routine.

Thank you for sending me on a wonderful trip down memory lane, as I went and watched all of my favorite pro exhibition routines from 1996 on youtube. Delightful.

I knew you would, and I thought of you while watching this! I, of course, did the exact same thing. :)

Oh wow. I hope he takes that exact routine to Vancouver-- you can see where he took the jumps out for the exhibition, and when he puts those back in it will be one of the better Olympic men's programs I've seen.

Did he remind you of Kurt Browning?
