‘That was the best night of short programs ever’: U.S. men put on show for the ages at figure skating nationals
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Two very interested observers found themselves each taking a deep breath near the ice Saturday after the men’s short program at the U.S. national figure skating championships, trying to process what they had just witnessed.
“That was the best night of short programs ever,” said 1988 Olympic gold medalist Brian Boitano, regarded as one of the greatest male skaters in the history of the sport, who has watched a good 45 years’ worth of short programs.
