He could do a grapevine between cones with other Olympians too. That's what Brian Boitano would do.

I was unaware Brian did this type of exhibition or that Sandra did this type of choreography. I wonder if the final was filmed.

Does he ever skate in shows?

Wow! Boitano posted on Instagram a photo from a Champions On Ice reunion happening now ... Brian, Kristi, Katarina, Dorothy, and Michelle all in one photo ... Wow!

ETA: Maybe it's Katarina's Instagram

I can see an invitation to the event and info on hotels and such, but I don't see the photo of the skaters attending.

Before the COI reunion, Brian brought Katarina Witt "to the post office here in Minneapolis to send her American fan mail. Long trip from Berlin to send fan mail.": https://www.instagram.com/p/BxQDEv7j-4s/
If you have an Instagram account, check out his IG story for their interaction inside the post office and to see how long her receipt was!

Back in April, Brian attended the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus' annual gala fundraiser and presented Adam Rippon with an award - here's his photo with Kristin Chenoweth who also was honored that night: https://www.instagram.com/p/BwzlmykDs3i/

I believe this was for their tv special Carmen on Ice. It was filmed.

Brian skated this with Katarina.

Really interesting article, thanks for sharing. The talk about the media focus at Sochi on the Russian anti-gay laws was interesting. I think it put a lot of pressure on athletes. The media were asking them to make comments and I think it's really difficult for athletes to know what to say.

It was also interesting to read the comments of the agent and how he was told he couldn't come out because the majority of skating fans were female. Which is kind of amusing, because if a skater or actor is a sex symbol, them being 'taken' or gay makes literally zero difference to a fan's prospects of dating them in real life... so it shouldn't actually interfere with the fantasy and appeal.
