MILAN, Italy — With the pressure of competition behind them, the world’s top figure skaters from the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics will take to the ice once more, this time with a focus on fun and creativity.
Known as the exhibition gala, this cherished Olympic tradition brings together elite skaters from various disciplines to perform in an event described by the Olympics as a celebration of “pure artistic freedom.”
