Scott Hamilton 1983 Worlds - Performance, Up Close Profile, Scores & Medal Ceremony

[@cards0486]

Scott’s dad had passed away, and his mom found out she had cancer. She changed jobs to make a better salary to have more money for his coaching. It was obvious what he had. And she was going to do all she could. He was adopted, and blessed to be raised with love. And he has the most loving heart I’ve seen. There will never be another Scott Hamilton. Now in competition there’s a lot more ‘flash and show’. But his pure skating; passion and perfection won’t be surpassed.

Oh

[@Kitanaangel49]

So very true 👍

[@BerthaRuiz-i3u]

@@kathywiemels5616/ Figure skaters give it their all . And all are skating reaching the sky, if you will. 82 and my heart starts fast paced due to happy feeling.

[@michaelmasionis2939]

That is the real deal right there. Passion and hard work with great joy. Scott spreads love everywhere he skates.

[@thehappyplace4u]

How can a human spin that fast then stop on a dime, make an elegant arm gesture and not puke. What an athlete and an artist.

[@julievanderleest]

I’ve asked the same question every time I watch the Winter Olympics. I get woozy just watching them.🤪

[@GunnWrights]

BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE! I was 10, and at the time there was Mark Hamill and Scott Hamilton (don't forget Dorothy Hamill) ... all heroes in my eyes! Awh... the good ole days!

[@carolstasuik5685]

We must be similar in age, I may be older as I remember Peggy Fleming and going to see ice follies with my auntie and uncle in San Francisco.

[@dawnbaswell1853]

Except for Mark Hamill is a jerk

[@rapunzelrose68]

Great times

[@melissafields3376]

I remember them too! Made me get out on the ice!! Peggy Fleming wow!! I'm getting old lol!!

[@coloraturaElise]

That's it..."he shows his enjoyment for skating better than anyone else I know". It's so important for an artist to love what they're doing, to bring the audience in to them. He was the best, never been bettered at it.

[@feeberizer]

Scott always skates with the ebb and flow of the music so that his movements always have meaning and artistry. I saw little of that in the 2022 Olympics where it was more about stringing a bunch of quad jumps together.

[@theresabollman8061]

Scott is a wonderful person as well as an excellent athelete/skater. God bless him.

[@lindagloria6435]

Simply adore Scott. I was 13-14 yrs old and remember watching this performance. He is a true legend ❤

[@lholt5040]

He is just a pleasure to watch!! What a talent!

[@reginawenz6350]

Wunderbar, auch 40 Jahre später noch🎉

[@OhioGirl-bu2kv]

Great video about Scott Hamilton. Very insightful. The music playing in the background for some of the clips is "Telegraph Road" by Dire Straits. That's really cool. Scott has always been one of my favorite ice skaters. I used to watch ice skating and gymnastics when I was younger. Still do even now. Scott does the best backflip on ice that I have ever seen. Awesome performer and amazing person. 🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@stephaniebrunson8077]

What a beautiful performance! Such an inspirational human being !My childhood hero!

[@healthreviewsplus]

5:05 See the first song. Even at 24 he's using his arms in choriography to connect with the music = artistry. Thank you for posting this video.

[@eileenmartinez4533]

Yay for Scotty getting better. We love you! America's skating king

[@makeupboss3568]

Dang he’s such a charming and charismatic young man. I was probably 10 at the time and glued to the TV with this .

[@AmusedChild]

I thought I'd seen every in depth look at Scott but I never saw this one. Thanks!

[@steffisteinbock5322]

Er war mein Held! Absolute Klasse , ein Genuss!!!

[@gailjackson8941]

I love watching Scott.

[@schmim1]

He’s fabulous

[@maureensawatzki7917]

The best man in figure skating

[@Kitanaangel49]

I have always been a fan for Scott Hamilton, we would have to drive to Portland Maine to see Discover Stars On Ice. We lived in NH. Scott you have gone through so very much. Please 🙏 know that you are still #1 and it is 2022.May God Bless You and your family 👪

[@kaycoulter7413]

I loved watching Scott skate

[@pamelamays4186]

I was a Scott Hamilton fan. Basically because of his skills, but also because, we were the same height.

[@eileenmartinez4533]

That spin!

[@ThatClassic70sGirl]

You mean the combo at 2:45 ? Yeah, that was awesome!! =)

[@BerthaRuiz-i3u]

Watching this dancing king figure-skate to perfection!(9.25.2024) Know you’re doing fine at present.

[@tiggerlady2352]

I remember his skate at that time. He was very very good skater. I never forget his skate.

[@rhiannonrede]

I have Scott for over all my life. Got to see him in tour when he was going to retire. I cried. Will always love you, Scotty

[@julievanderleest]

I swear, those who skate like this have metal cochleas. How on earth do they stay upright after spinning so fast? This is incredible!

[@ThatClassic70sGirl]

R.I.P. Don Laws. He was the coach who got Tiffany Chin back on track following her injury and rehabilitation.

[@luvvinlovelock7254]

We are the champions

[@binkbaf]

How does he attain that speed??? I havent seen anything close in 2018.

[@francinebonnaerens9301]

Hi was one of the best ate dad time loved him 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇨🇦

[@iwnunn7999]

Skating may have saved his life

[@heidibarrett6400]

I agree!

[@GleeFanz]

He is best in the world

[@melissafields3376]

I haven't seen this performance in decades! I couldn't help noticing the cheesy commercials lol!!

[@mikenealon4042]

magical years for figure skating

[@ohioweatherguy]

Interesting that he did three triple toes, which I believe was not allowed beginning that season (due to the "Zayak Rule" implemented following the 1982 season). He also did two triple salchows, neither of which was in combination, which again was in violation of the Zayak Rule (repeating a triple requires one of them to be in combination).

[@elizabethcorbett7968]

Hello, I think the second "triple toe loop" he did in that program, which had a split jump and footwork proceeding it, was a jump called a triple toe walley....which was allowed to be counted as an entirely different jump at that time. Slight variation on takeoff of jump. Other skaters at the time did this to get around the zayak rule. I think they changed that in 1984 to count toe walleys and toe loop jumps to be the same jump. That may be why Scott added the triple Flip jump in 1984 in lieu of the second triple toe loop he did in this program. As for the triple salchow....they allow jump combos or jump sequences, which includes footwork etc between the jumps. So if you check the first triple salchow he did, it had footwork after it followed by a double jump. So it looks like it was counted as a jump sequence. For more info, see Scott Hamilton's comments below on his 1984 training , where he explains that walley jump.... source here.... www.britannica.com/topic/Olympic-training-760104 "My four-and-a-half-minute program featured five triple jumps-salchow, toe loop, toe walley (a slight variation on the toe loop), flip, and lutz. "

🚶‍♀️ELAINE WASHINGTON ⛸⛸ I ENJOYED SCOTT HAMILTON IN HIS EARLY YEARSVAND OLDERS. TILL HS FIGHT WITH CANCER. MY PRAYERS WERE WITH HIM THEN. HE WAS A BEAUTIFUL SKATER.

[@susansmith493]

Strong! I never enjoyed watching the women. They so often fell. Even when they didn't, it was always by way of a prayer.

[@michelleward2436]

Do much talent!!!❤️❤️

США во всем превосходит, о людях заботятся и сколько СССР во время войны спасали оружием, продовольствием, медикаментами......

[@jm7804]

I have always loved Scott. He's a wonderful person. However, you could not even make it to worlds at all with this performance, let alone win a title. 12 year olds can do a triple axel now and back in the early 80s only a handful of men and zero women could do one. It's surprising because equipment hasn't changed. The quality of skating has just improved so much over the last 40 years.

[@claytheist6736]

Same with skateboarding. 9yos be casually doing kick flips like nothing. Idk what changed either.

[@hotlips55]

He’s no John curry

[@Jhojsh101]

His coach seemed very arrogant

[@grantnoroyan9275]

he was a good coach and had alot of confidence

[@angelamarie79]

His coach seemed very creepy.

[@MissVioletSage]

Still in the closet. What an embarrassment

[@Emily-gy2ef]

Oh like it matters! WTF!

[@pamelamays4186]

Scott is awesome! Me thinks that there needs to be another "Hamilton" Broadway show.⛸️⛸️
