Wow, brings back the memories. It’s great to see a nice guy have success! I’ve known Jeremy since he lived in Aspen, Colorado. Jeremy and I trained together at the World Arena in Colorado Springs for almost 10 years. I remember when Jeremy did pairs for a period. Jeremy, his pair partner, Brittany Vise, and my sister, Christina, and I all medaled in Open Juvenile Pairs at the 1999 Junior Nationals (then called Junior Olympics).
This is an inspiring video of Jeremy from his 2010 U.S. Figure Skating Championships long program in Spokane, Washington. Jeremy overcomes the pressure of trying to defend his national title and make it to the Olympics. He keeps his focus throughout each element in his four-and-a-half minute long program. Not only does Jeremy have great technical ability, but he’s also one of the most artistic male skaters in the world.
Watch Jeremy at the Olympics! He competes in the short program on Tuesday, February 16, and the long program on Thursday, February 18.
