Scott Hamilton - Only One Life (2004)

An incredibly touching Stars On Ice performance. The emotion Scott put into his program was breathtaking. The song was "Only One Life."

[@roberthudson1959]

He was a 45-year-old cancer survivor at the time of this performance.

So beautiful. You don't have to jump quads to be master.

[@maryweaver266]

You’ve made such a difference with your one life!!!!

[@MrsEJV]

And now the proud father of three sons and a daughter - two adopted as he was. Such a special person married to a special woman.

[@davidrobinson7422]

Sharon here: We all have only one life. Scott lives his with dignity, strength, compassion. caring ... and with purpose. I'm sure everyone wishes they were his friend. He is a treasure.

[@bettygordon3773]

scott, i'm seeing this for the 1st time 18 yrs. after this was performed! i've followed your entire career and your cancer journeys. 1 life is right; so glad you have survived an continued to be an inspiration and role model for skaters and cancer SURVIVORS! may god continue to bless you and for an enjoyable life with your wife/family. a fan forever, betty gordon, ames, iowa

[@lilliehalumi8770]

He is the best. Some come close, but cannot top him.

[@jkishhabi]

This song seems to describe Scott's life so far. Even now he runs a school teaching another generation of figure skaters. And even if he wasn't, he already changed figure skating forever with his performances and sheer energy.

[@sassytbc7923]

He is a true artist

[@mariag.8242]

This from a man who was face to face with his own mortality at the time - it’s especially meaningful and hopeful ❤️

[@kattrakee]

Scott is and was the BEST , hands-down !!! I love him !!!!! 😁⭐️👍♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️👍

[@bettygordon3773]

i love his back flips that many performers then became proficient at. betty gordon, ames, iowa

[@paulaneary7877]

EVERY time i see another video of Scott Hamilton I love him more and more and more. Just an truly amazing person.

[@healthreviewsplus]

Inspirational. Scott Hamilton: “The veil between us and the Lord is thinnest when we’re in our suffering. God is most - more present in our lives in our deepest suffering. Man! We’re here by His grace and mercy. Our bodies are fragile but resilient. Temporary. Temporary! So we live our days joyfully. We live our days hopefully. We live our days faithfully! And in doing that - my goodness - changes the world!”

[@joanneshakoue6378]

Amen!

[@sharongould7351]

Beautiful - You are the Greatest Skater of all time.

[@kattrakee]

I love him ; the greatest !!!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@amymunn3357]

Scott Hamilton is a GOAT! I still remember being 12 years old and 1984, and watching him win the gold from my hospital bed. I have cerebral palsy, and I had recently had my second hamstring surgery. That's what made me fall in love with figure skating. Thank you, Scott.

[@bettygordon3773]

amy, best wishes with your health problems, surgeries, and enjoying life to your fullest as well. hugs/prayers from betty gordon, ames, iowa.

[@sandraworrell]

Wow! An excellent performance of this song on ice. Scott Hamilton, in my opinion is the greatest skaker on earth.

[@TheMedicareDiva]

Just beautiful.

[@WoodArtAndWoof]

I cried as I watched this. His one life has inspired and encouraged many!!!!!!!!

[@robindew9072]

The soul of a skater. Hes so talented. Beautiful to watch. Miss seeing him perform. The king on ice.

[@paulaguedes3187]

...alwalys good and beautiful to see Scott. My regards to him. From Sintra Portugal.

[@maryloumejeur4707]

Perfection...as always.

[@LtRee96se]

Simple the best. Thanks for posting this. I forgot how much I loved to watch this stuff.

[@katherinestephens9645]

I have goose bumps....

[@tamaflake3830]

The Gene Kelly of the Ice!

[@SKJones-ik4yu]

The heart, soul and talent of this man moves me to tears. He is truly amazing.

[@debbie4503]

Same here. He has been through so much that would break most people and just look at him. I am a Scott Hamilton Fan for life!

[@taylor4778]

Scott is athletic, masculine and graceful all at the same time, which is not often the case with male skaters. He's one of a kind and it's sad that his is a vanishing breed. I love his signature back flip, but I also like what seems to be his other signature move, not sure if this is what they are called but I refer to them as barrel rolls because it looks like he'd holding onto a spinning barrel. Love you Scott!💕

[@irun4jesus872]

What a beautiful performance and the emotion on Scott's face at the end was just heart warming.

[@berdinareynolds4968]

He is perfect.

[@lisaforte1575]

What a man!

[@tabithasabella8165]

Beautiful Scott.

[@mrsblue3011]

He skates like a mam. Total RESPECT for a job beautifully executed!!!

[@susanrodack2982]

Masterful. Thank you, thank you.

[@neeliesolmok58]

So clean all the cuts and jumps and footwork he just glides effortlessly . My favorite male figure skater

[@michellepetersen8514]

So beautiful!

[@tabithasabella8165]

Scott, just got your up tonight. It put a smile on my face. Thank you for being a member of my support team. You upping my messages lately has put a smile on my face and is helping me,to know your thinking of me. It means everything especially now. I had to end up breaking off a toxic friendship, it was bad just to put it in a nice way, I ended up being the one who got really hurt emotionally. Hearing from you has helped me to see that I'm not alone. You are my ray of golden sunshine. I'm so grateful thankful and blessed to call you my spiritual older brother. I'm so grateful to have guys like u and Tim tebow and Russell Dickerson by my side. Its giving me strength to fight and to keep going. I love you scott

[@barbarabain8709]

[@lindaowens933]

He is awesome

[@WoodArtAndWoof]

You could see he was skating this with heart and soul!!!!!

[@kenneth7027]

Beautiful performance! I had the pleasure of telling Michael Feinstein that this is my favourite song of his.

[@classyteacherdiva]

Is he still skating? Please say yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He can't retire!

[@Justbooksmusiccatsandapen]

classyteacherdiva He no longer skates in shows like Stars on Ice. But he does Skate privately and skates in some other shows. Last year he was diagnosed with cancer again. But he's doing well and is still enjoying life. ( he's done interviews since can you can find fthem here on KZbin)

[@cards0486]

He and his wife started a skating school for children. I know he’s not totally hands on. But imagine you’re 10 years old and Scott Hamilton comes out on the ice to conduct your class. I’m assuming if the children are old enough their parents have made them aware of who Scotty is.

[@roberthudson1959]

He was born in 1958 and can't skate forever.

[@tabithasabella8165]

Hes not anymore I'm afraid.

[@lisae1032]
