Sharon here: I've watched skating since before Peggy Fleming won gold in 1968. In my opinion, Scott Hamilton is the best entertainer to ever lace up skates. Ever.
Scott Hamilton, one of the greatest inspirational stories of all time! From sickly little boy with a feeding tube, to an Olympic gold medalist, and adored by all that get to watch him!
Nobody could come close to Scott Hamilton....he's the greatest skater I have ever seen!!! God bless you Scott Hamilton and thank you for entertaining so many people!
My favorite part of his routines. Long, long ago, serpentine footwork was a required element in skating programs, but they dropped it when everyone started focusing on bigger jumps. Scott, being older than most of his “rivals,” learned that type of footwork and it has remained a part of his routines.
Back when skating was more about style than mechanics! This man had it all! I sure do miss this type of skating! I don't even like to watch it anymore. 😥
I agree Kimberlie. Now it's quad jumps, glide and more jumps. No one entertained the way Scott did. I miss the Pro competitions but there isn't much of that on TV at all in years. And Scott and Kurt Browning had the fastest feet. I miss the "old days" of skating.
I totally agree. Skating used to be more graceful and artistic. Now it's becoming a quad jumping contest. It takes away from the beauty and artistry that is just as important.
It's all about gays. I love Scott's masculine style. He's like that prankster your daughter dated when she was 16. You loved him, but he was a bit of a rebel.
Certainly the most entertaining. Not one of his performances went by without making people smile. They were quality, amusing and had so much personality in them.
Pure charisma, charm, exacting standards and the most delicious sense of humor ever....I miss you so much on the ice Scott Hamilton! Sadly don't watch skating any more.😢 Tina
Thanks so much for posting this. Scott is a national treasure and always a treasure in my heart always. I always loved that big smile at the end of a program, knowing he set out and accomplished his goal. Entertain his audience. He always delivered and even if he fell we loved him all the more because he was still smiling at the end.
this is a man who loves what he does and it shows. No stress, no strain, just pure pleasure. I think part of it is, he takes his skating seriously, but not himself.
In this routine, he proved he could be more than the clown. Still the entertainer, always the entertainer, but this was a serious routine. And it was spectacular. Earlier in his career, he was criticized for not being able to do the triple jumps, so he practiced and clearly a few years later, he was routinely doing triples. The man is just an all around inspiration and crowd pleaser.
There will never be another men’s skater like Scotty. His personality goes right off the ice and he’s performing for you, brings you right into it with him. Like he said “ You don’t skate just for those people over there who didn’t pay to watch you. You skate for the ones who did.” I love him so dearly. This year his hour program before the 8 PM hour of Olympics was just a treasure each night.
That was really sexy. From the the very start to finish. Although i really love the introduction so much, i had to repeat a few times just the way the crowds applause began before he even flipped. Thats just fantastic.
Interesting how our male skaters of yesteryear, while fantastic, were much stiffer compared to todays male skaters. Scott H will forever be known as the king of the ice, but you have to admit, todays skaters are more flowing and flexible.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!
He has always been, hands down, my favorite. And I've watched a LOT of skaters in my 61 years.
No skater has ever been more fun to watch!
Again and again, just to make sure it truly happened!

dobie gal you can criticise modern figure skating without being homophobic
Scott is my favorite skater of all time. He is flawless and entertaining. There will never be another Scott Hamiliton.
I don't think I've heard of anyone who didn't like Scott. What a wonderful human being, and amazing skater.
The Olympics today made me miss him. He was fun and had so much personality in his routines. I miss him so much
Best ever skater, amazing person. An inspiration to humanity.
When we embark on quads it just seems this artist flair and footwork are so lost. It’s so enjoyable to see this!
My opinion: the best skater ever.
Certainly the most entertaining. Not one of his performances went by without making people smile. They were quality, amusing and had so much personality in them.
He set the bar so high that nobody can get close
Pure charisma, charm, exacting standards and the most delicious sense of humor ever....I miss you so much on the ice Scott Hamilton!
Sadly don't watch skating any more.😢

Scott I would give anything to meet u and give u a hug, to explain how you've touched my life.
I always liked how he still did traditional skating moves like that sit spin.
Love all that footwork you do plus the back flip. Awesome Scott!
Love this guy. My favorite male skater ever.
I love watching Scott
I love his classic back flips, that is just soooo awesome 😊😊
I really wish I still had this whole show taped... it was almost pure magic.

The best
There will never be another men’s skater like Scotty. His personality goes right off the ice and he’s performing for you, brings you right into it with him.

That was amazing!
He was born and created to skate. And skate he did, like no othet.
That was really sexy. From the the very start to finish. Although i really love the introduction so much, i had to repeat a few times just the way the crowds applause began before he even flipped. Thats just fantastic.
Scott Hamilton- Figure Skating's GOAT !!!
FAB U LOUS Scott!! 😘
I usually prefer watching taller and lean skaters but Scott Hamilton was the best ever because he used all types of music and was exciting to watch
Great! A +++++++ !
He makes skating look easy, effortless, simple...when it is SOOOO far from it.
See Dreams Do Come True🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Scott Hamilton is truly the GOAT. Only he can do a backflip in his routines like it's nothing🔥🔥🔥
No. Robin Cousenes can do, too
You can be cool... But not Scott Hamilton cool :D
Just the best! Amazing, meticulous footwork?
he knows hes the best!!!! He should teach todays skaters how to be more individual and creative instead of being jumping beans
Interesting how our male skaters of yesteryear, while fantastic, were much stiffer compared to todays male skaters. Scott H will forever be known as the king of the ice, but you have to admit, todays skaters are more flowing and flexible.
His costume is drab for this song and routine.
Damn that was awesome....I want to rollerblade now just like 20 years ago, but then people will call me gay n stuff
What a bundle of dynamite!
What is the object on his forehead? Looks like some sort of protection

Its was so wonderful to see a MAN skate with flair and masculine style, WITHOUT limp wristed flamboyance.....
