Paul Wylie with Nancy Kerrigan - 1992 Albertville Olympics Exhibition

[@aarnemark]

How can you not like Paul Wylie? Here, I think he elevated Kerrigan’s artistry. He has such a big heart.

[@susanpatrick9878]

I watched this back then and thought that it was one of the most beautiful artist skates ever and I still get chills when T watch it.

[@nessapainter]

Me too !!

[@mickeybell2633]

Nancy seemed happy and joyful at this time, it showed in her skating.

[@rileyduncan1535]

This is the only skate I’ve ever seen of hers that I actually liked.

[@cpierce4562]

Yep. She looks happy. I think she and Paul were practically best friends irl

[@oNegLeEk]

i remember seeing this in 1992 and thought it was the best thing ever still is one of the best exhibition routines I've ever seen

[@hawby7mgh]

They're musicality and passion for skating is so evident. The extension on the spiral - amazing. Only one throw and no lift. And it seemed like a great pairs competitive skate. Synchronised jumps & flow - what a great moment in skating.

[@kristiewilly8017]

I still remember being wowed by this so many years ago. Thank you for posting!

[@myralawson4543]

Wow!!! They were GREAT together!!! Somehow I missed this. Thank You for this!! 😉❤️

[@pamelaremel7477]

My sentiments exactly! How did I miss this?????

[@cj222100]

I loved this, & remember watching this when I was 10. I thought it was such a sweet performance, & impressed considering they're not pairs skaters. And, since I was 10, of course I wanted to believe that they secretly liked each other lol

[@charlieseable]

Finally! I get to see this again! Loaned my recording out and never got it back. Thank you for posting this...you just made my day.

[@222ableVelo]

She was a beauty. I always liked her. And I will, of course, never forget what Tonya Harding had done to her.

[@aemiliacarolphonetube9749]

Tonya should be banned I totally agree.

[@tabithasabella8165]

Nancy and Paul encore.beautiful, stunning, gorgious, outstanding. A perfect 10 from me

[@tabithasabella8165]

Good thing I've got escorts already. Paul I'm so grateful thankful and just blown away at how god used and worked through you, to help set me free, iam just so privileged and honored that I can call you my brother in Christ I know its not a right, or entitlement, its a privilege and a tremendous gift from our heavenly father.

Keep being a light in the darkness, stay in the fight. 2 Corinthians 10:3.love you Paul.

[@theresabollman8061]

I was so shocked that they would do a pairs performance in the Olympics...neither was trained for pairs...the sure learned quickly. Beautiful performance...Paul lights up a room...Nancy so elegant.

[@luv2wcsdance]

Paul actually competed in pairs and I remember seeing him compete at the US Nationals in San Diego back in 1981 (I was there in the audience). Here's more info: At the same time competing in men's singles, Wylie was competing in pair skating with partner Dana Graham. They won the junior pairs title at the 1980 U.S. nationals. They were coached by John Nicks, commuting to work with him in California.

[@theresabollman8061]

@@luv2wcsdance Thank you for the information; I never knew that.

[@luv2wcsdance]

@@theresabollman8061 You're welcome! :-)

[@stephaniedavis6531]

They had the same coach at the same ice skating club in Connecticut. This was an exhibition performance the day after the medal ceremony.

[@garyschnake8655]

Better than most of the US pair skaters

[@sadumas1]

This never gets old. Love it!

[@punkinpatch1856]

Leah and Simon, Nancy and Paul. Perfect

[@SueK2001]

Beautiful spirals and extension.

[@etaoinshrdlu7247]

What a fine and inspiring performance, full of great positive energy. And for those who complain about the lack of lifts and whatever else complainers want to complain about, it happens that addition to not being well matched physically for pair skating, both of them were in the singles competition. Doing lifts would of course have meant practicing them regularly while at the same time training intensely for singles. That was not going to happen, before even thinking about the risk of injury. So why not just enjoy this because it's so good, with its imaginative choreography done so well?

[@melissakerber8287]

She probably would have had to lift him as she appears to be bigger than he is. You can tell by the quality of the spirals that they spent countless hours practicing school figures even though they weren't contested here.

[@jmsessn]

dat white outfit merges the guy with the ice, rendering him practically semi-visible

[@wendyleeconnelly2939]

definitely they should not have worn white.

[@NakitaCherie]

I came to make the same comment 🤣 dumb asses

[@makowyirys9776]

That was really awesome. They both really enjoyed it. Only the white suit was a bad idea as Paul is barely visible...

[@17topaz]

Loved this performance

[@americansunbeam]

This is so beautiful to watch and with beautiful music.

[@karenevanoff8586]

She is a class act!

[@kelliesavage7090]

I never had a chance to see it back then but I am really glad I did now

[@annecohen8927]

I found. this pair skating of Nancy and Paul to be absolutely lovely and therapeutic. Too beautiful for words.

[@alexsdb9712]

Magical, then and now 👏❤️

[@paul-zx5du]

So sweet.

[@jaymepeddycoart3471]

Beautiful performance.

[@larainevanetten5311]

I remember that. Very nice. Loved the encode. Love Paul but never wear white when skating. You blend in with the ice.

[@emilyb1438]

So incredible

[@tabithasabella5212]

Perfect 10

[@silviaquesada2499]

enchanting!

[@LauRa-re9un]

I wish I was there in that empty seat. How could be empty seats?

[@barbaratheard5992]

Always like Paul Wylie. He was a fantastic skater. Wish he had won the gold.

[@paskatefan]

Not everyone buys tickets for exhibitions. I would have though, for an Olympic exhibition.

[@onetwocue]

I always thought Richard Marx and Paul Wylie were the same person

[@fernoverbaugh4615]

It was a unexpected treat to see this skating routine originally and still is. They were not a traditional pairs couple so I don't care about the lifts.

[@ArtByDesign80]

Lol…the majority of the video Paul looks like a floating head!😂🤣😂

[@user5.2003]

Bien

[@juliemotl7725]

They did such an amazing job, considering they are not pair skaters!

[@marinagamm1951]

🎉🎉😢

[@LaurenCinema]

Does anyone know how long they had to prepare this duet, or if they ever performed this at other exhibitions?

[@williambruno392]

lol remember THIS

[@aemiliacarolphonetube9749]

Nancy should have joined pairs.

[@elisapendleton5710]

It would have been a good a couple

[@bophreyhumgart2953]

I miss his skating hers, not a bit.

[@krissy7342]

Nancy always seemed to prefer white dresses, I assume to keep up the “Ice Princess” presence? ⛸

[@spirittammyk]

Actually, it was the designer, Vera Wang, who is famous for making celebrity wedding dresses. The truth is, Nancy dislikes the white dresses because her mother is legally blind and has a hard time seeing her daughter in the white dresses as opposed to blacks and dark blues.

[@ZinziSchneider]

Paul is so sweet and a great skater. Nancy is lame and boring as always. nothing special about here

[@chriscoyne9717]

They are contrived and cheesy. Would have rather seen Tonya and Chris Bowman skate to some rock song haha

[@janetdishler3039]

It was quite beautiful really but of course,someone had to bring up Tonya because of course you can't bring up Nancy without mentioning Tonya.

[@lakegirl239]

Yes! That would have been energetic and exciting. Tonya-the girl with the golden blades.

[@janetdishler3039]

You do know that it takes a lot of time and practice to skate with a partner? Tonya and Chris would not have been able to put something together in that short period of time and would he have wanted to skate with her anyways. Nancy and Paul have been friends for years and practiced together.

[@mitzimcewan9124]

Chris Bowman was a talented skater. Rest his soul.

[@Positivekitten]

I do agree that something like that wouldhave been fun to see, but I also think this was a beautiful performance. Paul and Nancy had been good friends for many years and lived and trained in the same area. This was something they were able to put together for a nice little exhibition performance. It’s doubtful that Chris and Tonya knew each other well enough or would have been able to spend the time and energy to put any sort of performance together on short notice.

[@joemachunda]

Always thought Kerrogan boring. Paul is inspirational

[@dasho4570]

boy she was really the most boring skater of her time ….

[@Jumbaride]

This was surprising in the best way. 🩷💜
