No male skater moves with the grace and masculinity as Kurt Browning. He just amazes me every time I watch him. He’s simply a joy to watch every time he’s on the ice.
So grateful I met Kirk those many decades in the Bayview Mall at Shepherd...and kudos to Sandra Bezic who actually signed my programme in BC in the 1980's as a pair skater with her brother, Val (correct me if I am wrong). I remember Sandra's beautiful long hair always in a pony tail on the side. Little did I realize how far she has come. Karen Manguessen (spelled correctly?)was very popular then and was autographing programmes at the far end of the rink while I was at the opposite end of the arena...yes, I was very disappointed at that time ... BUT NOT ANYMORE! KIRT's culmination of each heartbeat of music is expressed so beautifully through footwork and jumps. Finally he was not wearing black or gray but a BRIGHT(DOESN'T NEED TO BE RED BRICK)colour (with a skinny black belt ). Now ALL can see him clearly including the audience sitting in the rafters! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2024!
It's really interesting that you can tell when a skater (or dancer) dances for the audience and with emotion. Some skaters are more technical, appearing to count the steps and just do the memorized routine, while others give so much to those of us watching. Kurt is one of a kind and is truly an outstanding performer.
Beautiful, greatness and perfection all together spelled brilliancy! Love Kurt Browning one of the very best skater of all times and my favorite one. Love you Kurt, God bless you always. You are definitely missed in the skating world. Awww....so wonderfully done ✅ awesome! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Inspiration. I look forward to it every day in every way I can. Coming back from adversity is difficult but Inspiration and hope is always there right in your face. Just look at it.
Wow - what a wonderful skater. Amazing performance from him like all the others I´ve seen him perform on these youtube videos. All those jumps seems so effortless and he can dance that is for sure. Now he´s one of my absolute favorites among others.
Agreed. He is amazing. And one of the best male dancers, skater or not, that I've ever seen. Love watching these old clips. I have every one of Kurt Browning's performances saved here on YT.
I watch videos on Kurt Browning, Scott Hamilton, and others from another generation and realize that these performances were true art ... not about how many quads and second half bonuses the skater can rack up. It's sad to see the sport move away from artistry and emotion in performances.
I’ve followed him since before he landed the first ever quad jump in competition. He’s always and will continue to be my favourite figure skater. What a talent. I remember him skating just for his Canadian fans in his last Olympics.....he was going to leave because there was no way to win.....but with telegrams coming in to him all through the night, to just skate for us.....he did. I watched it with tears streaming down my face......he will always be a winner to me!
His quad jump that he did land back then, was kind of a cheat. He had a small three turn out on the landing, which means he didn’t quite complete 4 revolutions in the air.
