Seeing Brian in person a few times the past few months I must say he is looking much healthier and fit perhaps the new hip has created a zest to his life.

Congratulations to Brian! He's had an amazing "second act" (third act?) to his skating career.

I love how the medalists from 84 and 88 could compete strongly, but have remained friendly and worked together professionally and on a variety of charity efforts for decades.

Well deserved. Happy seeing him doing so well after his hip replacement and watching him in I Have Nothing. The skaters from the 80s and 90s continue to impress with their longevity in the sport.
