Brian Boitano: A TSL Interview

Brian Boitano is a legend in figure skating. The 1988 Olympic Champion, Two-time World Champion and Four-time U.S. Champion is renowned for his masterful technique, majestic presence and powerful choreography. Quite simply, he is one of the greats. After his amateur career, he redefined excellence in professional skating, starring in his own tour, winning an Emmy, skating on a glacier and winning the World Professional Figure Skating Championships six times. His career has continued to develop outside of skating, authoring cookbooks, hosting TV projects and opening Boitano's Lounge. I recently had a chance to catch up with Brian and learn about his illustrious career. Subscribe to this channel for everything all of your figure skating fan needs.
