Today in sports history

Twenty years ago today, the great Brian Boitano won a gold medal in figure skating at the Winter Olympics in Calgary. This 2005 interview mentions the thing I remember him for the most: the song "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" from the movie "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut." But the interviewer only mentions it in the introduction; he didn't actually ask Boitano about it, which is disappointing.

Also, 10 years ago today, Tara Lipinski took the gold in women's figure skating at Nagano. I don't know of any songs about her, but that doesn't make her accomplishment any less important.
