2005 Ice Theatre of New York David Liu - Ritual in 7s

David Liu, who moved to the U.S. when he was six but represented Chinese Taipei, gave up skating when he was 13 to study on scholarship at the School of American Ballet Theater in New York and didn't resume the sport until he was 16. That hiatus proved to be both a strength and drawback. Losing perhaps the most important years for a skater to develop technically, he had trouble landing the triple jumps in competition that would have put him into the upper bracket. Conversely, he has a sense of performance that any of the top skaters in the world would love to borrow.

zmel; did you select videos of him for a reason? Don't get me wrong though, he's a really good skater and works very hard to skate this well, I've known him for numerous years. Because he's my uncle.

yeah, i totally agree with you... then it can be called art - dancing, not just a sport!

this is beautiful! when skating is taken away from points, judges, and commentators, it's art!
