Interviews and features on Kurt Browning before/during his last SOI tour

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

A link to the YouTube of a show Kurt recently did in Victoria - Kurt Browning On Ice - 2023

This show obviously took a lot of preparation and rehearsal - the young skaters are wonderful in portraying the various themes and blending in with Kurt and actually skating with him!

In the Stars on Ice 2023 thread I have been adding links to "classic" Kurt programs, year-by-year, through his long career with the show. This year's tour is his last one :(

Speaking of candid interviews I bought this magazine a couple of days ago:

The end of an era, that's for sure. Still he has his good health and all those medals, and headed for a well deserved retirement. Not too shabby for Kurt. Nice to know he may still do the occasional show if the motivation is right... Maybe some charitable benefits, or possibly a TV Special?

If you are already missing Kurt (and skating) - look what is on now on CBC Sports YouTube - "Kurt Browning in one of his most iconic skates ever...while singing in the rain": https://youtu.be/pZm46WaB3vc
