Hi there,
This mailing list is pretty exciting. My name is Jessica Koslow and I
am actually in the middle of doing a documentary on the rise and
extinction of School Figures. I am also the 1999 U.S. Junior
National Champion and the last senior champion for figures as well.
For all of you who don't know, Figures were last competed in the
Olympics in 1988 --the year Brian won the Olympic Gold. He is coming
to Boston, MA to do an ice show and I really want to get in touch w/
him in order to have an interview with him on the subject. I mean,
there must have been a difference between competing in 1988 with
figures and then competing in the Olympics in the 90's without them.
If anyone....knows what his email address may be or even the
management company he works with....it would be amazingly helpful.
Also, if anyone out there happens to have any footage of figures that
either Brian Boitano did or anyone else for that matter, please don't
hesitate to email me. The USFSA has been nice enough to help me with
footage and I have had a few other past Olympians talk about their
love hate relationship with school figures but I could definitely use
some more images of the sport!! Well, thank you for your time and I
hope to hear from someone...soon!
