Today's skaters can do all the quads and fancy tricks they want, but this dude will always be THE BEST. So happy somebody uploaded this. THANK YOU. That made my night!
Yes!!! My mom passed in 86 and she lived figure skating. I remember the last winter Olympics before she passed. She was so excited to watch Scott Hamilton and there wasn't much TV she watched but when figure skating came on even my dad had to change the channel. When I see Scott I think of her and smile. I could care less about quads and such. He was the ultimate showman. The audience loved him.
I was nine years old when I saw him on television. I still remember this routine like it was yesterday. Watching this today in the year 2022 makes me feel like a kid again. He was unreal. When he got on the ice, you knew you were going to be entertained. Best of all, you could tell he loved what he was doing and HE was having fun, which made us viewers have fun too. He will forever be the best skater that ever lived. No one compares to Scott and those badass back flips!!!
His artistry will only be compared to John Curry and Brian Boitano. But for back flips I gotta give it to Robin Cousins, with his long ass legs. I believe he was the first to do one in the Olympics, as well.
Oh yeah!!! I kept waiting for the backflip...Waiting for the backflip... Waiting for the backflip... And he didn't do it. Like millions of other viewers, I sighed, but grateful to see Scott back on the ice, even without the backflip. I'd prayed daily for his recovery. But then-- "I wouldn't really be back..." And the audience SCREAMED IN ANTICIPATION... HE DID THE BACKFLIP!!!!! One of the greatest comebacks EVER!!! I had tears rolling down my face from sheer joy! 😺💕🐾
Scott had it all! Talent, perfection, determination, showmanship, spirit, personality, joie de vivre and everything else! There are other good skaters, but they’re all chasing Scott! God bless him!
He always has skated with a pace and energy you just don’t see today. His intricate footwork is amazing ! The way he synchronizes his movements to the music is perfection. You can tell he loves doing this, and who can ever forget those awesomely cool backflips😎⛸
Scott was thrilling to watch..no fear. Now all they care about is quads and triple that and triple this...no entertainment like Scott was, he had it all! Get out there and have fun!!
see now I disagree ... even Scott talks highly about Nathan Chen. Nathan has progressed past the quads regiment & has added fun artist motion into his routines. & it's not just Scott as all the greats look at Nathan as a throwback to them but going beyond. Don't detract from some icons not only in US but around the world. There is a young one out of Japan that smacks of old blended with new. Then a very young skaters coming into play here in US. Just needs more experience. Took Nathan a while. Just as it did Scott. I admit Scott is favorite of mine. Legend that will never die out. He marked the sport. Just like Jason Brown.
I once asked Kurt Browning at a book signing once, what influence Scott Hamilton had on him as an entertainer. Browning's ability to hold an audience is great, but Scott Hamilton is unparalleled.
I remember watching that competition when it was broadcast. Everyone thought Brian Boitano was a lock for the top of the podium and Scott’s routine just blew everyone away.
DAMN. To be honest, I didn’t know who this guy was until my daughter started taking ice skating lessons in his academy recently. Holy cow. What a skater!
What an all-time incredible skater, but more importantly what an awesome human being with a sense of caring for other people and a great sense of humor. You blow me away Scott you're one of my personal Heroes.
Scott Hamilton’s always been one of my favorite figure skaters. Everyone else takes themselves way too seriously for their own good. But Scott has always had a good sense of humor. He’s clever, too, and it shows.
I absolutely LOVED this skate... it was just SO brilliant. Scott was incredible, even when he was fighting that cancer. He was and remains one of the best!
+D Lovely I would be a much bigger fan of Scott if he did not cowarded himself by saying the Soknikova deserve her win over Yuna in Sochi. He is extremely artistic. I do not understand why he, and Tara and Johnny can possibly think Yunas artistry alone should have given her a win in Sochi. Sorry, I was a big fan of Scott. But why oh why does he even think Yuna was not far superior to anyone in Sochi!
Scott Hamilton is the greatest skater who ever graced the ice. His immeasurable Talent is evident in everything he does. Not only is he a great skater he is a terrific human being and family man. If there is a world figure skating Hall of Fame, he should be number ONE.! Love you, Scott Hamilton !!!!!🏆🏅⛸
I'm 80 years old. I have followed Ice Skating for decades. When anyone says ice skater I immediately say Scott Hamilton. He was best ever! That famous back flip! Totally threw the judges into a tail spin when he did it. I loved this performance and remember seeing it live. Thanks for posting it. ⛸🎖⛸
I just don't think there will ever be another like him. He will always be the best to me. Seeing him live was amazing! I got to the Hampton Coliseum early so I could watch them warm up & practice. He came out on the ice, saw us & made a bee line right for us, spent a good 20 minutes chatting & was as friendly, personable & funny as I had imagined him to be. The whole show was great, but Scott was the highlight for sure! His smile is infectious.
Trying to explain to my kids how awesome Scott Hamilton was as a skater. He had total control, made difficult routines on ice look like child's play, and those flips! Crazy good.
I always loved Scott’s masculine energy and showmanship. You could tell he was all about having fun. That’s what passion looks like! Takes me back to being a little girl again. Snacking with Grandma and enjoying a great show. I sure do miss those days.
The bad boy of figure skating. I remember when he dropped his pants to his ankles and did a backflip. For a fleeting moment....I loved this boring sport. 😅
Why would you admire someone who dropped his pants? Ice skating should be beautiful and dignified, not pants-dropping. His Wikipedia page said he supports Donald Trump -- I still think he's a great skater, but don't like his Trump support. Terrible.
@@cathynewyork7918 OMG, who CARES what his political affiliation is? He's a tremendous athlete. The fact that you do care says more about you than it does him.
@@MajahDancer I agree that Scott Hamilton is a tremendous athlete and he was an excellent skating announcer on TV -- I always admired him -- so I was very very very disappointed to just learn recently that he is a Trump supporter. I thought he was a better man than that.
I was a sportswriter for 35 years, and the loudest ovation I have ever heard was for Hamilton in 1984. He was doing a charity exhibition at the arena where he learned to skate, and the building shook when the reigning World and Olympic champion took to the ice.
He was pure magic! I usually hold my breath, trying to keep the skaters upright! Lol. Not with this gent! He was always completely in control, mesmerizing, fascinating! ❤️
With all the quads and triples axles and such. Scott Hamilton was ahead of his time in the era he skated. This video of him skating still is as entertaining today as he was in 1994....👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Happened to run across this while looking for something else. What a memory. This era was a passion for the sport; now it seems to be more of a job. I loved it when the figures were part of the Olympics. Scott Hamilton had it all and loved every minute of it. I had the privilege of seeing him twice in person; and also got to meet Brian Boitano. They can do all the quads, triples, etc, now, but there will never be footwork like Scott Hamilton. Go Scott.
There are some really talented skaters out there now, but as good as they are they just don't have that something that Scott Hamilton had....his foot work has never been equaled....he was so damn....even at the end he said more with skates than people can say with a mike
I was eight years old when I saw this routine on television, and I can still remember it vividly! Still one of the best and most entertaining skaters I've ever seen.
Scotty and Kurt Browning were the best of this era for over all entertainment and talent!! Saw him in person during his retirement tour! Still fast, accurate and amazing!! 👏👏👏💗💗😂😂👵🇺🇸
Mr Hamilton embodied the whole package. Yes, athleticism, but not at the cost of artistry, & neither of those without the skill, consistency & perfection to back it up. & it shows.
Oh, Theresa I so agree with you. I miss the Scott Hamilton era which includes pairs dance and singles. We had more exhibitions, Pro competitions and although all skaters can't do 6 or 7 quads in a program, which is definitely a skill, I really miss the entertainment as well. I. Love. Scott. And the best part was he skated for us, his fans. I loved that great big smile at the end of his programs.
The GOAT!! And no annoying chatter by commentators, showing off their knowledge of tenth of a point deduction here, and slight under or over rotation there. Pure skating, pure skill, pure entertainment!
One has to wonder what he could do in today’s skating world. He was always so fun to watch, made difficult skating look like a piece of cake and you could tell it also brought him joy. So glad this video popped up in my feed!
I live in Colorado. Years ago I met Scott when he was getting his drivers license renewed. We talked for a little while, and he gave me his autograph. I still have it. He's truly a very nice person. All the best to you, Scott.
There will never be another Scott Hamilton. When he was competing, it wasn't just about artistry or technical moves, it was also about entertainment, and he was the best. You always knew a good time would be had because Scott loved what he was doing, he knew exactly what he was going to do, and he knew his audience loved him then and still love ❤️ him! ⛸️

Today's skaters can do all the quads and fancy tricks they want, but this dude will always be THE BEST. So happy somebody uploaded this. THANK YOU. That made my night!
He maintained connection with the audience. Also... his fast footwork will never be matched. Nobody else puts joy into that feature like Scott.
Scott, Kurt,.. i just loved them all back then!
I so agree!
I would rather watch Tonya Harding.
Yes!!! My mom passed in 86 and she lived figure skating. I remember the last winter Olympics before she passed. She was so excited to watch Scott Hamilton and there wasn't much TV she watched but when figure skating came on even my dad had to change the channel. When I see Scott I think of her and smile. I could care less about quads and such. He was the ultimate showman. The audience loved him.
Why can't life be like Scott Hamilton on ice? Fun, funny, edgy, and perfect.
Life is Nature, where mutants and mutations exist - it is actually what keeps the species moving forward, it's all pretty ironic.
Best damn question ever! Let’s work really hard to figure out an answer!😘
It is, we just seem to be missing it these days. Look closely.
Recent quote from Scott: 2/2022 " The Only True Disability in Life Is A Bad Attitude" !💖
Truly! What a Wonderful World it would be!🤍

Always the best. No quads needed.

But for back flips I gotta give it to Robin Cousins, with his long ass legs. I believe he was the first to do one in the Olympics, as well.
Agreeee!!
No one since Soctt will ever equal his artistry.
Well said… nobody does it better!!
I remember watching his "comeback" special on TV after his cancer diagnosis. I also remember bawling my eyes out how happy I was that he was better.
Chumawumba’s Tubthumping. I remember it well 25 (or so) years later.
Oh yeah!!! I kept waiting for the backflip...Waiting for the backflip... Waiting for the backflip... And he didn't do it. Like millions of other viewers, I sighed, but grateful to see Scott back on the ice, even without the backflip. I'd prayed daily for his recovery. But then-- "I wouldn't really be back..." And the audience SCREAMED IN ANTICIPATION... HE DID THE BACKFLIP!!!!! One of the greatest comebacks EVER!!! I had tears rolling down my face from sheer joy! 😺💕🐾
Yes...I remember him doing this same routine again after beating cancer--but that time, he did TWO back flips! Take THAT, cancer!😤😁
He WAS AND IS one of my favorites. 🥺 No one will ever be like him ever.
I agree with you.
ya although they surely try🤣
I think Kurt Browning is close. And the two of them together is magic!
He NAILED it!! .. This is what figure skating used to be. Fabulous technique. Great artistry!!
I love figure skating, but there is no skater today I know of who regularly brings Scott Hamilton energy. It’s what we need.
I SOOOOOO remember seeing this performance first time on tv. Scott, if you read these posts, please know how much you are loved and appreciated.
Scott had it all! Talent, perfection, determination, showmanship, spirit, personality, joie de vivre and everything else! There are other good skaters, but they’re all chasing Scott! God bless him!
He is the GOAT!!! You just couldn’t help but love him! An amazing skater but also such a joyful personality!
But you wrote this as if Scott died, which he didn't. Scott even fought cancer and won!
@@marig6184 You’re right. That should have been ‘has’ rather than ‘had’. My mistake.
There will never be another SCOTT HAMILTON!!! He's is just a righteous dude on and off the ice♥
Off ice, he was a Trump supporter. I don't know about now, after January 6, but he was a Trump supporter. Bad!!!!
@Tweed Penguin Trump is a liar and a criminal. HOW can you love a president who tries to overthrow our democracy??? What is wrong with you?
@@cathynewyork7918 😂😂😂😂
He took the moves, the music and the audience energy and made it his own. The will never be another skater like him.
I remember watching this on tv live and thinking "THIS is how you have a good time on the ice!". So much love and respect for Scott!
The fact that I remember this routine fondly 20 years later speaks volumes! You're terrific, Scott!
Me too!!!!!!
I never get tired of watching the master at his best.
Q
My sister literally just turned to me and said this. An amazing performance! Legend.
Yes! Truly amazing.
His showmanship was the best! I loved all his performances
He always has skated with a pace and energy you just don’t see today. His intricate footwork is amazing ! The way he synchronizes his movements to the music is perfection. You can tell he loves doing this, and who can ever forget those awesomely cool backflips😎⛸

He did a quad.

Even now, 25 years later, this is one of the most enjoyable skating routines ever. Can't help but applaud and cheer him on. This one never gets old.
To be fair, Brian B was amazing too.
@@vCoralSandsv Brian B is good,Nathan C. is great, BUT..Scott Hamilton is the Master.
@@percywalker3960 I don't disagree 😁
DAMN. To be honest, I didn’t know who this guy was until my daughter started taking ice skating lessons in his academy recently. Holy cow. What a skater!
He was a legend on Olympic broadcasts in his day - how could you not know who he was?
The GOAT!
Welcome to the fan club!
Saw this in 1994 at age 10. Randomly came back to see it, and in 2021 its still 🔥
I saw it in 1994 at age 10 too!
I miss the 90s figure skaters
tishabyte seriously. I wish skating could be the way it was in the 90’s
Yes me too. All so good.
90s figure skating was SUPER FUN! Even the Olympics were entertaining! Pairs skating was very exciting!
He may not have done a lot of twists and other fancy stuff - but my god, his foot work was on another level...
A magnificent performance. Thanks for the memories. Can't believe it's been that long ago!
What an all-time incredible skater, but more importantly what an awesome human being with a sense of caring for other people and a great sense of humor. You blow me away Scott you're one of my personal Heroes.

Gene Kelly and Scott Hamilton: the great ones make the toughest moves look easy
This is just quintessential 90s pro figure skating!!! I loved that era, I wonder if we'll have another era in skating like that
I don't think so. I used to follow skating back then, but it's just not the same now.
Scott Hamilton is the greatest skater who ever graced the ice. His immeasurable Talent is evident in everything he does. Not only is he a great skater he is a terrific human being and family man.

A born natural for skating. He makes it look easy.
My favorite skater.
My all time favorite, he made me smile every time he stepped on the ice!
He was one of my favorite figure skaters back then 😊😊
Scott will always be a favorite. Not just a talented skater but also a great entertainer.
I remember this so well! Scott Hamilton and Katarina Witt were my favorites.
I just don't think there will ever be another like him. He will always be the best to me. Seeing him live was amazing! I got to the Hampton Coliseum early so I could watch them warm up & practice.

Awesome watching this after the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Scott was magnificent.
I remember watching this on TV as if it were yesterday ! The true skating heyday !
I'm glad I got to live the times when things like figure skating were still awesome and a form of art.

Really. Can it get any more creative than this?? Rock it, Scott
Hey Scotty you can walk my way any day anytime, anywhere hands down. Love you bro
Just can't help loving Scott!

There will NEVER be another Scott Hamilton. He is AWESOME!!!
Always a class act

I was a senior in high school when this aired. I remember it clearly! Scott always made his performances so entertaining! ❤️
Hey Scott, come back on the ice and show the current Olympians' how it's done. The sport has lost some flair since you left.
miqiee . You don't see many skaters his age performing. Dorothy Hamill is still add it, but how many people can be Dorothy Hamill?

He most likely wouldn't.
He has had 3 brain tumors over the years.

The stuff of legends
No one before or since has had the foot work of Scottie! Love him 😍
Really like watching Scott skate, theres a lot of character.
wish they skated like this instead of worrying about the quad it is more enjoyable

OMG how could I 😫 forget the greatest. He was and still the best om ice period in my opinion.
He and Kurt had such great footwork and Scott is a blast to watch
Wow. After all these years of commentating, what a wonderful re-awakening to how great his performances on the ice have been.

I have never in my entire life seen some one do a backflip on ice... until now

Nathan Chen did one at the Olympics gala earlier today
