Such a gifted athlete who showed artistry beyond his time---and his personal life was a total disaster. He had a major drug problem, which put him into his grave far too young. His coach (Frank Carroll) tried to help him...I guess, ultimately, nobody could. Christopher found EVERY camera, in EVERY arena, and they found him. Another tragedy is Nicole Bobek, guilty of meth trafficking, 5 years probation. Such a natural gift.. 2 lives have crashed. Good luck 2 Nicole: she trashed her gift.
@ja3399 I think Chris could have become a "superstar coach" like Brian Orser, who coached Kim Yu Na to Olympic Gold. He was so amazingly talented and it's terrible that he died way too young.
You're right also about Nicole Bobek, I remember her gorgeous photo spread in Vogue. She doesn't seem to have a sense of identity outside of skating. Definitely good luck to her.
Christopher Bowman was so incredibly talented. It's so hard to believe he's gone. This was such a treat to see again. Thank you for posting it.
