Nineties Nostalgia: Figure Skating Tours In The 90's

Tell me what you want... what you really, really want. It's a 90's throwback blog, isn't it?

In the last decade of the twentieth century, media attention and public interest in the "whack heard around the world" gave way to an explosion in popularity for the sport of figure skating. People just couldn't get enough. The world's top figure skaters vied for cold hard cash in dozens of professional competitions and skating fans around the world flocked to box offices to scoop up tickets to their favourite touring ice shows. Today's Skate Guard blog takes a fond look back at the many skating tours that were in operation during the decade of star lifts, Spice Girls, slap bracelets and Salchows.
