Perhaps nowhere in
sports is the marriage of athleticism and grace more evident than in the arena
of world champion pairs figure skating--the lifts, the jumps, the routines. It⿿s
an elegant world, a rarefied universe, a noble place populated by the crème de
la crème of skating elite. Well, it used to be. When the macho, swaggering Chazz
Michael Michaels takes to the rink, he is the rock star of the arena, leaving a
trail of thrashed ice and shrieking female fans in his wake. The only competitor
who can match Michaels⿿ scores is the driven former child prodigy, Jimmy
MacElroy. Spotted as a youth executing triple lutzes on the frozen pond of an
orphanage, MacElroy was whisked away to days of endless training, and now stands
as the picture of poise, the personification of the highest ideals of the men⿿s
sport. Michaels and MacElroy have met in finals rounds before, but their latest
head-to-head at the World Championships--when they tie for first--is more than
either one can bear, and their longstanding rivalry erupts into a
no-holds-barred fight. The ensuing brawl not only sets fire to the World
Championship⿿s helpless mascot, but lands both athletes in hot water: Chazz and
Jimmy are called before the sport⿿s governing board, stripped of their gold
medals and banned from the sport for life. Now, three-and-a-half years later,
both men are still trying to find their way in a world without competitive
skating. Michaels has devolved into a drunken party machine, skating as a
costumed evil wizard in a kiddie ice review, and MacElroy has been banished to
the shoe department of a chain sporting goods store. But then, inspiration (in
the form of an over-friendly, former stalker of Jimmy⿿s) strikes, and a loophole
emerges. To skate again, all Chazz and Jimmy have to do is set aside their long
festering hatred of one another and join forces--as the first male/male figure
skating pair to compete in the history of the sport..
