The greatest skater of all time, John Curry transformed a dated sport into an art form. Coming out on the night of his Olympic win in 1976, he became the first openly gay Olympian in a time when homosexuality was not even fully legal.

The Ice King
Filmmaker James Erskine (2013 documentary ‘The Battle of the Sexes’) has told of a life here but has left out the story. We’re given the who and the what but rarely the why. ‘The Ice King’ is a great starting off point to learn more about John Curry, but it’s sadly not the be-all and end-all biography of this tragic yet beautiful life.
