A young city figure skater takes to the ice on Sunday, April 29
with one of the sport's brightest stars.
Josh Tymoruski, 10, is to performs Sunday afternoon at the Stars
On Ice show with four-time world champion and U.S. Olympic gold
medalist Scott Hamilton.
"It's pretty cool," said Josh, who has been skating for four
years and competes with the Springbank Figure Skating Club.
"He's a pretty big celebrity, and it's a real honour. I'm really
excited, and I'm not really nervous."
Hamilton won a gold medal in the 1984 Games.
The 4 p.m. April 29 show at the Saddledome is a stop on
Hamilton's last Stars On Ice tour, 15 years after he created the
international event.
Hamilton will perform to James Brown's I Got You, then Josh,
representing Hamilton as a boy, will come onto the ice and skate to
Ray Charles' A Song for You.
Josh will also join Hamilton on the ice to watch other
performers.
The young figure skater is hoping he'll pick up a few moves from
the veteran.
"I might learn how to do some of the things that I've never
really done," Josh said.
