Many notable performances came out of the 2006 Torino Olympics. Some of these include: Evan Lysacek’s flawless free skate that rocketed him from tenth to fourth place, Belbin and Agosto’s flamenco free dance that earned the US its first Olympic ice dance medal, and the infamous original dance of Fusar-Poli and Margaglio where after being dropped Fusar-Poli stared her partner down for all to see. One performance that did not make headlines, but is a favorite of ours for its artistic fluidity and musicality, was Matt Savoie’s free program to The Mission soundtrack. The Mission has quickly become a common music selection for the figure skating world, but Savoie’s program sets the standard high for artistic expression. At the Torino Olympics he skated a technically clean program featuring intricate transitions into nearly every element, making it one of our favorite programs.
