This is a Brian Orser appreciation post
I am forever in awe or Brian Orser, he is one of those people I am so grateful that exists in the sport. Not only was he so prolific in his skating career, being the first man to land a triple axel in olympics then going on to lad 2 triple axels the next games (and still not getting gold due to compulsory figurs) but he went on to give everything he had to the sport raising athletes that went on to shape the sport figure skating as we know it (and despite his achilles heeel of compulsory figures raising athletes with insane skating skills and artistry).
Hell he has coached more than half of my favorite figure skaters: YUZURU HANYU, Javier Fernandes, Jason Brown, Adam Rippon, YUMA KIM, Evgenia Medvedeva, Cha Jun-hwan the list goes on...
I dont know man I am just so glad that man exists it is so hard watching olympics without a glimpse of him in the side cheering his skaters on so far, Idk if he has any current skaters that are goaing, some of his previous pupils are in the olympics this year but not coached by him...
