Not only skaters watch this - I've watched it four times, and I can't even stand up in a pair of skates. This interview carries a special sweetness that is a bit of an antidote to the trauma of being affronted with Trump horrors all day long, every day, for so many years. Love their skating, love the way you all speak about your work.

Watching this 4 years later and now want to know what happened with the tour 😂 Great interview!!

thank you so much for posting this lovely interview!

Really sweet interview.

Definitely keep the beard!

Brian Boitano and Scott Hamilton are true living legends... Thank You ...

Linda was nice to those who she chose to be nice to and could be very rude to other people for no particular reason. Haughty is how I would describe her. She was very calculating and isn't overtly overly emotional.

It was compulsory figures is why I quit skating. Lol! It was boring... Belmont? I learned to skate there. Small world.

Nathan Chen he is the best of all 🎉🎉🎉

Fascinating background to this super dance pair!

Nathan Chen is just incredible. I can't believe this talent! So proud that he is representing our country (what is left of it!)

お疲れさま…SOIアメリカへ見に行きましたよ。;)

Where is the Scott's interview after Nathen got the gold.

I would be curious to know if these two superior athletes still hit the ice for fun,

I think the first Canadian figure skater I became aware about was Barbara Ann Scott. Donald Jackson much later and seeing them on RUclips is always a treat. Wasn't Gary Beacham a creative genius of sorts? Always assumed he is Canadian. Love all of them and pulled so hard for Orser to win the gold medal in the "Battle of the Brians". He was so gracious when he didn't. Jeffrey Buttle is yet another Canadian who provided thrills. Elvis Stojko at one time was tops even if his attitude at times offended me. And the history of Canadians in pairs figure skating. Other countries provided so many skating stars.

Nathan is meant to be more than a gold medal winner in the Olympics. He is gifted in so many ways. He should be given opportunities something like he did with Elton John. Performing on film, more music videos, commercials, ice performances, coaching, choreography. He is a national treasure and we should have the honor of enjoying his gift. Gifted obviously, kind, humble, smart and it would be an honor to see him in as many venues as possible. That with statistician to the world.

Scott you forgot that Dick is the only man from USA won the European championship

Such words of wisdom from Chris..how much do you love what you are doing. N Life lessons you learn..Awesome man n example.

Sooo awesome to see n hear these outstanding people. They followed their dreams n have nooo idea how much joy n entertainment they provided for alll of us thru their struggles reaching their goals n with class, great examples for future generations. THANKS!!

好喜欢你nathan ，我中毒了♥️♥️♥️

They're my fav skaters in '88 when I was kid and now their students are my fav skaters!!

Nathan is a full package. What a wonderful young athlete and human being. His parents did a fantastic job.

This interview is amazing thank you so much!

I love Nathan, but man does he own an article of clothing that isn’t a Nike product?

Please have Jayne Torvill on

but if the Jane there had'nt been

Please get Jayne Torvill on

Gracious and a true champion.

Scott Hamilton has got to be one of the nicest people on the planet. He is such a joy to listen to. He is a gift to ice skating fans everywhere. Brian Boitano is such a phenomenal skater. So focused and talented. I remember when his eyes teared up as they played our National Anthem while he stood so proudly on the podium. That's why I love the winter olympics. Our athletes there make us proud and don't disrespect our country like the summer olympic athletes led by Megan Rapinoe in Tokyo, in 2021. She disgraced our country and herself. Nathan Chen stood on the podium in Beijing with his hand over his heart as they played our anthem. Thank you for posting these talks.

Scott Hamilton is such a great down to earth guy who is always so upbeat and a real pleasure to see and hear. He won the Gold in 1984 Olympics in Sarajevo, the same time Torvill and Dean won the Gold Medal for Bolero. I loved this interview with our Gold Medal Ice Dancers and also those he did with Brian Boitano and Christopher Dean. Torvill and Dean, as well as Scott Hamilton, came in 5th at the Olympics in 1980 in Lake Placid. T&D were working full time jobs and could not devote the time needed to win a medal at the Olympics. The fact they came in 5th under those circumstances speaks to their talent and skill. After they got a grant from Nottingham, they devoted full time to their Ice Dancing and won the Gold in 1984.

What a fun hour! Two of my favorite skaters on the planet. What a lovely Sunday afternoon it has been!

Very fun to watch and I learned a lot! Thank you! If anyone is interested, there's a good documentary on Peacock regarding the 2002 pairs scandal. It's called "Meddling: The Olympic Skating Scandal That Shocked The World".

Thanks to all of you for taking the time to make this video. It is so refreshing and uplifting to listen to it. The Golden Age of ice skating.

These two men are probably my favorite male skaters. They're not only the best skaters, but top notch human beings!! I remember watching them skate. This interview made me nostalgic and happy.

Conversation starting at 29:00 is summarized with the “greatest strength” advice.

Tanith and Charlie are so similar, they look like siblings, they really belong together! I wish you a beautiful and relaxed married and parental life. I send many greetings and thanks for wonderful artistic experiences from the Czech Republic, the city of Ostrava.

I wish Meryl had been given more air time. It would have been nice to have two interviews. One with Charlie and Tanith and one with Meryl and Charlie.

So chrisrophter, did your mum ever get to know how famious you were at skating.

I love both these guys. What a delight to find this.

It is soooo great seeing you both and hearing your stories. Playing back the 1988 Olympics on RUclips. I still can’t figure out how you all did what you did. The stamina, determination and stories are relevant to life. God bless you.

Nathan is a great role model!

Congratulations Nathan! You deserve that gold medal! What a delightful young man you are! With a great attitude! Super roll model for young men in the male skating world! My son figure skated from age 3-17 years. Competitive ( 8 to 17). Couldn’t get the triples! (John’s roll models were Scott Hamilton & Paul Wylie! I admire you & your parents for your love & dedication, I know what it takes! The things John learned through his skating training has formed the person he is today! He is a good sport He is a hard worker, never gives up, & is very & personal person! So happy for you and good luck in whatever you do in the future I-will continue to follow your career!

I love this young man he is the best I've ever seen. I'm sad just knowing that he will stop skating, he probably will go to another olympics I hope because it's so enjoyable to watch him. Nathan so proud you won gold at 2022 olympics.

Christopher Dean is the most innovative choreographer

Demostró que es el mejor del mundo 2022. Conjugo tecnica. Perfeccion. Pasion. Es un joven extraordinario.

Es un joven maravilloso. Único e irrepetible. Llego a la perfección en su patinaje además le agrego pasión sentimiento. Su dominio de su cuerpo y perfeccion . simplemente lo amo. Podrían traducir al español esta entrevista. Gracias

Seriously this whole pandemic was planned it’s all political to control us with fear, don’t fall for it! Freedom is up to you, if you are a Christian American you can’t be a Democrat or a Rino like Cheney, Romney and many others they prove everyday that they hate Americans and America!

Just stumbled onto this, was a huge fan of Scott's back in the day. I think Nathan is such a great example to young people regardless of financial status here in the US. His parents didn't have the money to afford him to become an Olympian, but they supported him in that dream anyways. I also think it is cool that his first Olympic Gold medal was in his parents' home town/country. What an amazing family!
