Amazing Story

I was only 6 years old when John Curry won Gold so I didn't remember him that well but am so glad I saw this. It's a shame he's never mentioned at skating competitions (including the Olympics) because every figure skater from 1976 - present owes a debt to him for revolutionizing the sport.
