Ice Ablaze With Hot Performers

Watching Olympic champions glide and spin and leap across the television screen can be exhilarating--but wait until you see them in person. Kristi Yamaguchi (the 1992 gold medalist), veteran skater Scott Hamilton (1984 Olympic champion), Katarina Witt (two-time Olympic gold medalist) and Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean (1984 pairs champions) are just some of the former Olympians who will skate this weekend in “Discover Stars on Ice 1996-97.”

The tour is making two stops in the Southland. Friday at the Pond, 2695 E. Katella Ave., Anaheim, the show gets underway at 8 p.m. On Sunday, the show moves north to the Forum, 3900 W. Manchester Blvd., Inglewood, for a 4 p.m. show.

The tour benefits the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Tickets are $29.50-$42.50 at the gate or through Ticketmaster: (213) 480-3232.
