Jeff, I agree that's Jamie Sale introducing the cowboys.  The shorter one in the brown vest is her partner David Pelletier.

The blond in the white hat is John Zimmerman, American pairs skater who performs with Kyoko Ina.
He even did an episode of "Queer Eye for the Skate Guy".

Thanks, Paul!

I was looking for David--I was sure I remembered him being in that routine--but they move so quickly! OMG, I saw that episode of Queer Eye. ...

It helps that youtube has a pause and rewind function!

Hey guys! Thought I'd give a heads-up on who the skaters are!

Yes it's Jamie Sale introducing. She "hosted" the A&E SOI broadcast back in 03, to mediocre reviews from most people I know...

Skaters (in no particular order mind you)
John Zimmerman, yes, just as someone posted earlier
Kurt Browning (4-time World Champ)
David Pelltier
Todd Eldredge (6-time US Champ, 1996 World Champ)
lastly, ALEXEI YAGUDIN, (4-time World Champ, 2002 Olympic Champ) who is Russian; just as someone mentioned I love Russian skaters, there's one of the best!

LOL I've been away for a while obviously. I'll give you guys an update on myself in my Anya's Life thread!

Oh yeah, I remember seeing that on TV.  I wish I had seen it live.

;D

There used to be two skating shows that toured, Stars on Ice, and Champions on Ice.

"Stars" had their roster full of professional skaters.  "Champions" consisted of amateur skaters who were still competing at Olympic levels.

The Cowboys on Ice was during a Stars on Ice show.

Will you play my record? One-track mind!

Thanks for bumping, Chuck!  Very nice.  The choreography is kind of unremarkable, but who cares, with that great hip action and those cowboy duds?  8)
