Early in his career, Brian Boitano
was a nearly flawless technical
skater with incredible jumping
ability whose scores often suffered
because of his lack of artistic
expression. He was the first skater
ever to land a triple axel, at the
1982 U. S. championships, where he
finished fourth...>>>

After finishing second to Scott
Hamilton in the 1983 and 1984
national championships, Boitano won
the first of four consecutive U. S.
titles in 1985 and he won the world
title in 1986, making perfect
landings on five triple jumps.
Boitano was second behind Canada's
Brian Orser in the 1987 world
championships, when he fell trying a
quadruple loop. He then began
working with a choreographer to
improve his artistry and he dropped
the quadruple jump from his program.
In 1988, he swept the U. S.,
Olympic, and world championships,
edging Orser in both international
events.
He then became a professional, went
on a cross-country exhibition tour,
and skated with an ice show before
going back into training for the
1994 Winter Olympics, when
professionals were allowed to
compete. However, he failed to medal
in 1994.
