If Queens on wheels are the best...
then queens on blades are the bestest. Never into football or baseball as a kid, I usually tuned in to figure skating to derive the inspiration that other boys got from other, contact sports. Brian Boitano's costume, grace, and cold fierceness in this performance was enough to get him a gold medal, beating out Brian Orser in the '88 Olympics. Years later, BB's blades still serve as inspiration. Often times when wondering if it's going to be a top or bottom night, I just ask, what would Brian Boitano do?

You sweahs you are turning pro this fall.
