Inside the 8th Annual “Ice Champions LIVE!”

Saturday night, three-time U.S. National Figure Skating Champion — and two-time Olympian — Michael Weiss hosted his 8th Annual “Ice Champions LIVE!” at Kettler Capitals Iceplex.

Star-studded skating champions in attendance included Brian Boitano, Ashley Wagner, Ryan Bradley, Kimmie Meissner, Mirai Nagasu, Steven Cousins and Richard Dornbush, all performing to provide scholarships for aspiring Olympiads to assist them in all facets of training and competition with an emphasis on continuing their education.

A host of young local skating talents also participated in the event, including current U.S. National Champion, Ashley Wagner, a past Foundation scholarship recipient, Elise Romola (13) from Ashburn, VA, Rachel Parsons (14) and Michael Parsons (16), an ice dance team from Rockville, MD who won the 2011 Novice Ice Dance national title, and Gigi Becker (10) and Luca Becker (12), an ice dance team from Bethesda, MD, the current U.S. Intermediate Ice Dance champions.
