He's the most beautiful skater that ever graced the ice. This routine is sublime. Christ you were the greatest and will be missed more than you know.

This guy had "IT" . . . looks, charm and excitment on the ice . . . was never boring to watch . . . R.I.P. . . . "BOWMAN THE SHOWMAN!!" Such an appropriate name for him . . .

Chris, I still miss you. You had such talent but there were so many parent figures and not a single one stepped up to the plate for you. <3

There will never be another like him ever. The best routine.

I think he was a mixture of blazing talent and emotional instability. Such passion, such grace...when he had some control but even in his best performances, he looked in danger of falling over the edge...or falling down. He threw his heart into his skating but lacked the ability to stick to a schedule - and then there were the girls and the drugs. So sad, such talent, now gone.

What a beautiful performance. Heartbreaking to loose him. I bet he was a great person. Condolences to all his loved ones. Thanks for sharing him with us.

Was both angry and sad, watching the men's finals last night at Nationals, that NBC did not feature any sort of tribute to Christopher--nor was his name mentioned once by either Dick Button or Scott Hamilton. I would have liked to see some footage on this two time national champion, two time world medalist, and two time Olympian who brought so much joy to his fans and to the sport. Glad we have at least some of his great performances on youtube--thanks again for posting this.

Thank you so much for posting this. It is an exquisite performance that should be remembered.

Just beautiful! I'd forgotten how handsome Chris was and how wonderful to watch. He was incredibly talented and hopefully, in the end, his talent will be emphasized and remembered more than his struggles with drugs.
RIP, dear Christopher
