American figure skater performs Riverdance on ice at national championships

Jason Brown will now represent the U.S. in Sochi.

FIGURE SKATING IS not such a big deal here in Ireland, but in the U.S. it’s a big money sport.

19-year-old Jason Brown is one of the big rising stars of American figure skating and this week he competed in the National Championships to qualify for a place on the National Team which will represent the country at the Sochi Olympics.

What did he do to ensure his place?  Riverdance on ice of course!

Brown comes from a Jewish background, but clearly he wanted the luck of the Irish to get him to victory on this occasion.
