Well, given the length of the interview, I will need to watch this in chunks, but I will thanks to your recommendation @Arriba627 .

Paul was the ultimate Cinderella story at Albertville, truly a situation where winning silver almost eclipsed winning gold.

His posture, his lines. Just amazing. There is even a clip of him doing a duet with Nancy Kerrigan, which I don't remember ever seeing. And to boot, he's a kind and gracious human being!

It will be interesting to see if they ever find his freeskate from 1991 Worlds.
I have never found it.

I'll have to watch! Had a lesson with him over a month ago and enjoyed working with him.

Brian Boitano once described the U.S. men's figure skating team at the 1988 Olympics as the good boy (Wylie), the bad boy (Christopher Bowman) and the "medium" boy (Boitano).

Quote: 'Paul Wylie is Harvard. Christopher Bowman is Hollywood.'

I adored Christopher, just adored him. Of course I appreciated Paul too, but Christopher had my heart. If anyone was reporting on his health struggles at the time, I surely didn't see it.

Paul's skate with Nancy Kerrigan was an exhibition piece to Last Night of the World from Miss Saigon. It was after the '92 Olys in Albertville. Hope this will display;=.

I remembered it because I had just seen Miss Saigon in New York and was in love with the music. Was so pleased they skated to it,

And since I was cruising around YouTube looking for the first video, I found this one. I think it absolutely shows Paul's beautiful artistry. He might not have had the jumps but have you ever seen an ice skater with such pointed toes?
