Everything that was about how John changed the sport of figure skating, that made it a pleasure to watch, was said in this video; I therefore have no need to say my pennyworth. There has never been, and will not ever be, such a artistically gifted skater such as John (Curry). I remember watching a skating competition as a youngster and I thought it was utterly lifeless and boring. Years later I watched him on TV and was astounded at his ballet like performance; I was a fan evermore after that evening. When his competition days ended so did the artistry of men's figure skating (Robin Cousins was old school technical style and nowhere near as gifted as John was). Even Torvill and Dean, though pleasant to watch, did not have the gently strong balletic movement on the ice. Neither has anyone else since!
John Curry was to ice figure skating what Bruce Lee was to Martial Art and, neither will ever be surpassed! It wasn't what these two men did but rather how they did it and therefore they can never be equaled.
A very touching (but also very sad) documentary and I hope he found his peace in the oneness of the afterlife.
