No one can touch Kurt Browning on the ice. Yes, it's unfortunate he didn't medal at these Olympics but he had nothing to prove. He IS the complete package with athleticism and artistry. A legend in figure skating and a national treasure.

It's weird, mens' figure skating is probably Canada's strongest discipline, we've had so many world champions: Donald Jackson, Brian Orser, Kurt Browning, Elvis Stojko, Jeffrey Buttle and now Patrick Chan. Yet, no Canadian man has ever won gold in figure skating. I think Kurt is our best ever, he was creative, artistic and athletic.

I am an American. If someone told me to name male figure skaters. I would say Kurt Browning and Scott Hamilton . Kurt is very graceful, and his foot work looks amazing, but I don't know much about skating. In reading comments see he never won Olympic medal. He may have never won medal but he is remembered. There arr people who have medals and that doesn't make them better, just better during that competition.

Maybe he never won an Olympic medal, but still among the greats. Four world titles, first to do a quad, and he was endlessly creative and versatile. Even as a pro. My favourite of all time. His skating would do well in any system.

I met Kurt Browning and his girlfriend back in 1993 when we were flying from Ontario to Alberta. He was super cool. We hand wrote letters back and forth with me and my sister a handful of times. This was before secretaries responded for famous people. Kurt hung out with us and it was amazing how humble he was and how common he seemed. So nice and down to Earth. A huge inspiration to my younger self. A legendary man.

He and Scott Hamilton could perform into middle age because their artistry made their skating absolutely compelling even without the big strength moves. And they both benefited from being freed of the constraints of amateur competition

I think it was the pressure, too. Think about it, he was the world champion both times and the dominant male skater of his era. So I'm sure he was labelled a shoo in for the medal. He was human, that pressure must seem overwhelming. Very unfortunate, he is IMO one of the greatest ever, even w/o an Olympic gold medal. There's only one Kurt Browning.

This might be my favorite Browning program of all, & that's saying a LOT. After watching some of the men at the recent Olympics, I felt so unsatisfied, due to the cookie-cutter, format nature brought on by the current scoring. There are flashes of something more here & there, & there's John Weir, who does still seem to have his mind on more than scores, but mostly--blah. Remembering the thrilling imagination & creativity from some years ago, came looking here & reconnected w. Kurt--Wow! Bravo

Browning was a master performer, but its ashame that he was never able to land jumps consistently during the olympics. =/ If he did, he would've won a medal or two and likely a gold somewhere. His artistry was just amazing, but whether it was his nerves or whatever it was, he couldn't skate clean at the olympics. If only Canada could find a way to somehow merge Browning's artistry with Stojko's consistent jumping abilities into one person, you would have the ultimate figure skater. =)
