At the World Figure Skating Championships in 1988, a young Kurt
Browning took the figure skating world by storm as the first skater to
ever successfully land a quadruple jump in international
competition.
Not bad for a young man hailing from the small town of Rocky Mountain
House, Alberta.
This was the first time that the world began to take notice of
Browning’s abilities, it most certainly wouldn’t be the
last.
During his illustrious career, Browning went on to win four Canadian
Championships and four World Championships, two of which came at a
time when skaters were required to perform compulsory
figures. Throughout the duration of his career, judges always admired
his excellence in stressful situations as well as the athletic,
spontaneous, and energetic way in which he skates.
Since retiring from amateur competitive figure skating, Browning has
delighted viewers with his annual “Gotta Skate” show as well as his
appearances on both the U.S. and Canadian Stars on Ice tours.
Now Browning will dazzle Abbotsford Skating fans as he appears in the
Holiday Festival on Ice event on Dec. 4, at 7:30 p.m., at the
Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre.
The show celebrates the spirit of the holidays and features memorable
performances by Jeffrey Buttle, Jamie Salé & David Pelletier,
Marie-France Dubreuil & Patrice Lauzon, plus eight time British
Champion Steven Cousins.
