It's been a tragic week in figure skating after 28 members of its extended community died in the D.C.-area plane crash on 29 January. 1988 Olympic champion Brian Boitano joins host Nick McCarvel to discuss how the skating world is coping with the heart-wrenching moment. Boitano also shares memories of the great Dick Button, a two-time Olympic gold medallist, who passed away (separate from the crash) at age 95.
