The Olympics are here, and one of my all-time favorite sports to watch is figure skating!!! So today, I welcome a skating legend to our show, Randy Gardner, who won the 1979 World Figure Skating Championships along with his skating partner, Tai Babilonia. Tai and Randy also won five U.S. Figure Skating Championships from 1976-1980 and qualified for the Winter Olympics in 1976 and 1980, but what happened just before their skate was truly crushing.
This year, the Olympics has some of the most brilliant skaters on the U.S. team, from quad-God Ilia Malinin to Amber Glenn, recognized for landing the rare triple axel, and teammates Alysa Liu and Isabeau Levito. We'll ask Randy to break down what to look for and what we might expect. And of course there's the other winter sports to look forward to as well, from skiing to bobsledding. I also want to know what it feels like to walk into the arena with the possibility of bringing home the Gold. It must be amazing.
We've had Randy on our show previously to discuss his incredible documentary, Go Figure, The Randy Gardner Story, which is a jaw-dropping string of events starting with his conception. Let's just say at multiple times during the documentary, I had to stop and say, "did that just happen??" So we'll talk about that, too. And I'd like to add, despite more than a few bumps in the road, or in his case, cracks in the ice, Randy has remained positive throughout.
Please welcome Randy Gardner on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahkobyltLIVE. I hope you'll join us for this exciting conversation. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to have you as part of our team!
