Is Kurt Browning the Best Figure Skater Ever?
Until Kurt Browning came along in the late 1980's, Janet Lynn was my pick for best skater ever. Kurt immediately took over first place in my heart after winning his four world titles.
In my opinion, Kurt is not only an amazing skater technically, but has his own unique style on the ice, incredible connection with an audience, and the best feel for a piece of music. His choreography and footwork are renowned.
He makes me smile!
Although I don't know him personally, I have seen enough of him to know that he exudes joy and loves life. More than 15 years after his retirement from amateur skating, he continues to skate and be a prominent influence in the figure skating world.
Is Kurt Browning the best figure skater ever? Take a look at some of my favorite Kurt Browning videos and judge for yourself.

My Favorite Kurt Video
Antares by the Tragically Hip
The Tragically Hip are a Canadian band and Kurt's favorite. This piece was created specifically for Kurt. Every step, every arm movement has meaning. This is what I call being one with the music. Brilliant!

- I've been a fan of Kurt for many, many years. I believe I have never missed a performance of his that was televised. He is the best skater ever and now those trained by him are very fortunate! I wonder if his two sons will follow in their daddy's 'skate' steps?
Wonderful lens, well deserving of 5*s. I wish that I were an angel and I'd bless it too.

- I really want to see those videos, but I don't have any sound on this computer, so it's not use to do it here. I'll have to come back later on the other computer. I do love figure skating.
