The medals are won, so now figure skaters at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics get to cut loose on the ice.
At the exhibition gala, a Winter Olympics beloved tradition, many of the best skaters across all disciplines return to the ice for an evening of what the Olympics calls “pure artistic freedom.”
“Unlike the competitive events, there are few restrictions for exhibition programs and full creative freedom is encouraged and skaters can bring props — or friends — along for the ride,” according to Olympics.com.
