Worlds Wayback Machine: Kurt Browning, 1989 Free Skate

[sasha_davidovna]

When I was a kid, and people asked me which figure skater I wanted to grow up to be like, I knew what the answer was supposed to be. I was supposed to want to be Debi Thomas or Jill Trenary when I grew up. Katarina Witt might have been acceptable, although that answer would have pegged me as kind of a Communist. I chose Midori Ito and Surya Bonaly

Feeling the Kurt love :-)

That program he did to the song the Tragically Hip wrote for him remains one of my all time favorite routines.

His "Summertime" is the program I would use to explain figure skating to someone who had never seen it before.

Still the yardstick by which I measure men's skaters. :)
