Some of us in Greensboro were invited to a special preview screening of the documentary RISE 1961. It details the story of the crash that took the lives of the 1961 figure skating team, including bio details of those that were killed. It's a real tearjerker, so bring a hankie. Much of the focus was on Maribel Vinson Owen, who was perhaps the most notable skater/coach at that time and her two daughters that were killed with her, but how how legacy lived on with her student Frank Carroll - also featured - and how what she instilled in him lives on thru his students. Also gives info on the other members of the team and clips of their skating, which hasn't really been seen or known by today's skaters. Hosts included Olympians Scott Hamilton, Peggy Fleming, Dorothy Hamill, Brian Boitano and Michelle Kwan. Evan Lysacek is seen skating in the background at the beginning of the film, along with a clip from his Olympic win. All skating fans should try to see this film.
