The Olympics 1988 (MM)
by Zipper Bird

***

"Victor Prickupaskovitch of the Soviet Union will be the 
next to skate," Dick read from his teleprompter, not 
quite believing he had just blurted a name like that to 
millions of television viewers. He looked at Jim Makay 
beside him, whose eyes widened suddenly but then 
narrowed as he asked an adroit question about Victor's 
chances for a medal. 

"Maybe not in this Olympics Jim, but watch for him four 
years from now, when his body and skating will have 
hardened and ripened into a fine specimen by 1992..." 
Dick said, feeling slightly unhinged. 

"Body hardened and ripened," he thought to himself, "did 
I really say that?" Victor skated to the center of the 
ice wearing only tight blue satin pants, no shirt, and 
the crowd was audibly shocked at the sight of this broad 
shouldered, shirtless youth, whose flesh was glistening 
with sweat like a gladiator in battle. 

A shudder of desire ran through Dick Button's body 
causing a ringing in his ears such that he couldn't hear 
what Jim Makay was saying, nor could he hear his cues 
through his headphones. For several seconds his mind 
went blank and he felt a stream of saliva wending its 
way out of the corner of his mouth and down his chin, 
just as his thoughts suddenly manifested themselves in 
words to the viewing audience. 

"My God this one is so fucking butch. I'd give anything 
to kiss that sweet mouth and run my tongue over his 
sweaty balls and suck that dripping dick dry." The words 
came out uncontrollably. Jim Makay's face blanched and 
his mouth dropped open. He quickly signaled the control 
room to switch to a commercial as the monitor showed a 
small boat floating in a toilet.

"New lemon in the tidy bowl for you," a little man sang, 
"the official toilet bowl cleaner of the winter 
Olympics." 

Two cameramen had abandoned their posts and Dick felt 
himself being hauled over the railing behind the ABC 
box, feet first. His head bumped against a railing, and 
he woke up in a sweat, wife snoring away next to him.

"I should have known it was a nightmare," he thought to 
himself as he lay panting on the bed with three more 
weeks until the opening of the Olympics, "Tidy bowl is 
not one of our official sponsors," he thought as he 
turned to see his ugly wife's face in the morning light, 
a golden strand of spittle stretched from her mouth to 
the pillow. "Could she be having the same dream?" he 
thought as he closed his eyes and tried to conjure up a 
picture of the bare-chested Victor.

Mike Velez stood stupidly looking at his back change 
loop figure tracing, wishing the asymmetry of one of his 
loops would magically correct itself before coach Peter 
Pudesco inspected it and threw one of his conspicuous 
fits.

The Olympics were only a week away and the atmosphere in 
Lake Placid, where many athletes were training, was 
charged with excitement as if the Olympics were going to 
take place there instead of Calgary. Pudesco, fortyish, 
balding, with all his good fucking years behind him, 
lumbered over to inspect the tracing and showed little 
expression in his face betrayed only by a involuntary 
twitching in his left eye. 

Inside his head, he was letting out a high-pitched 
girlish scream, partly in anguish at the lopsided loop 
and partly in delight at the thought that Mike was going 
to be his first student in the Olympics, but with such 
bad figures. Even though his free skating was pretty 
good, these figures were libel to land Mike in an 
uncoveted 19th place. Still, Mike had one of the nicest 
bodies a skater could have and coach Pudesco wished that 
the figure judges would somehow be hypnotized by the 
sight of his backside and forget the figure tracing 
completely. 

"If medals were awarded for buttocks," coach thought to 
himself, "Mike would win the gold for sure." Mike Velez 
had dual citizenship. Born in Venezuela, he earned a 
berth on the Olympic team competing for that country, 
even though he grew up and lived most of his adult life 
in Lake Placid. Now 21, Mike was a senior at the State 
College at Potsdam, which had a rink where he trained 
intermittently. 

Mike's handsome face, creamy cafe au lait skin, and 
perfectly developed ass had made him an idol with the 
campus gay set and he'd been written up in the school 
newspaper several times as being Potsdam's Olympic 
hopeful. Mike carried a B average as a dance major and 
was also on the swim team, which he joined just so he 
could spend time in the shower looking at naked 
teammates' bodies.

Still, homosexually speaking, Potsdam was a bit of a 
wasteland. Nearly three quarters of the students were 
female, and Mike looked forward to meeting real men, and 
the few Olympic gay athletes that there would be in 
Calgary.

As Mike's plane touched down in Calgary, he felt a rush 
of excitement. "Here I am, at the Olympics," he thought. 
Just being there to compete was a miracle for him. He 
really wished his dead mother could be there to watch 
him skate. 

Unfortunately, with seating space for skating events at 
a premium, dead relatives were not allowed in the arena. 
Mike's father would stay at home watching TV, and 
probably not the Olympics. When Mike was a kid, Mr. 
Velez wanted his son to play baseball but Lake Placid 
was not a baseball mecca and so Mike learned to skate, 
with his mother's encouragement, and much to his 
father's chagrin.

To this day, it was a source of embarrassment to him 
that his son had turned into one of those "ice faggots." 
When talk at the local beer joint turned to children, 
Mr. Velez pretended he had only a daughter, who, 
ironically, had also been a dance major at Potsdam, and 
was now married with children and living in Watertown.

Mike had met the two Brians in the last World 
Championships, which had been his first. Brian Boichaser 
of San Francisco was a nice gay guy, and a terrific 
skater and all, but not Mike's type. Brian Orifiz of 
Canada was slightly more appetizing but after all, both 
of these guys were going to be shitting their pants 
trying to win the gold medal, and weren't going to make 
an easy lay during these Olympic games anyway. 

In fact, Mike was more interested in the speed skaters, 
and specifically, a certain Kurt Hilgarth of Austria, 
who was rumored to be "c'est ca" as the French say, gay. 
Kurt had been warned by the international speed skating 
federation that due to his genital size, he would simply 
have to wear restraining underclothing in international 
exhibition.

This unprecedented ruling was not published in any 
magazine, but a picture of Kurt was, and in this case, a 
picture was worth a giant zucchini. In Mike's mind, this 
made Kurt all the more enigmatic. He wondered what kind 
of big-dicked guy would have the audacity to skate 
around the speed oval wearing no underwear.

The Olympic Village was buzzing with excitement, an air 
of forced international friendliness, and there was also 
tension. Several of the Canadian competitors looked 
particularly comatose from nerves as they bore the 
weight of their country's and hometown honor on their 
shoulders. Their cheeks were beginning to ache from the 
frozen smiles they maintained through the many press 
photos and TV interviews. It was like every Canadian and 
American was a celebrity.

Many of the figure skaters wore walkmans as prescribed 
by their sports psychologists to relax them and make 
them forget as much as they could that they were in the 
Olympics. Carlo Fastbucci crossed the quad, to the 
practice rink for afternoon skating practice, flanked by 
his two medal hopefuls, Carin Cadippy, and Jill 
Tumbleweed, known for her rolling falls under pressure. 
The sun shone brightly on the walkway and Carlo groped 
in his pocket for a pair of sunglasses, an expensive 
Italian pair that a "skating mother" had given him after 
raising her voice to him during her daughter's lesson.

Anxious about her daughter's prospects in an upcoming 
competition, she'd shouted at Carlo that he was being 
too easy on the girl and not driving her hard enough. 
She gave him the glasses as a peace offering. Shortly 
after, the daughter broke her fibula in 9 places and 
wouldn't be skating for two years. At the rink already 
was gold medal hopeful Debbie Tumors, who was being 
egged on by her coach, as he leaned over the rink 
barrier like an unruly hockey fan, giving Debbie last 
minute suggestions for improvement.

After a short press conference where Mike met the other 
4 competitors from Venezuela, all skiers, 3 of whom, 
like him, grew up in the United States, he headed off to 
his room with his designated roommate, a skier from 
Caracas/Aspen named Nelson. Nelson came from a 
terminally rich family, the product of a Venezuelan oil 
playboy and a Philadelphia debutante. He was spoiled 
rotten and popular with the ladies-numerous telegrams 
from Aspen girls, all wishing him luck in the downhill, 
were waiting for him in his room.

On the way back to the room, Nelson bumped against 
Mike's side several times and Mike had the eerie feeling 
that either Nelson was the clumsiest skier on the 
circuit or girls weren't Nelson's only interest.

At dinner, Mike tried to look for Kurt, the hot speed 
skater from Austria, but couldn't find him. Mike sat 
down with the small Venezuelan contingent and was joined 
by some bobsledders from Budapest. Tired from his trip, 
he went back to his room and opened a magazine, which 
had a flattering picture of Kurt in it, his roguishly 
handsome face winking at the photographer.

The media were careful not to shoot Kurt below the waist 
lest they get a shot of his enormous dick, outlined 
clearly by his unitard speed tights. Nelson, oblivious 
to the rumors about Kurt Hilgarth's organ and his indigo 
sexual orientation, busied himself with postcards to 
friends and then took a shower, and came out wrapped in 
a towel, drying his hair. 

"So, is it true you figure skaters like getting dick up 
the ass?" Nelson asked with a taunting smirk plastered 
on his face. Mike looked up from his magazine, meeting 
Nelson's eyes comfortably and said "Why, is that what 
you were thinking of while taking your shower?" Nelson 
laughed and said "I just wanted to know." 

There was an odd silence after the brief exchange and 
Mike got ready for bed. Both guys lay awake for several 
minutes until Nelson broke the silence by saying "I just 
wanted to know, that's all, no offense or anything." 

"You got dick up the ass on the brain or something?" 
Mike asked, the sound of the phrase causing both of them 
to break out in laughter. For the third time Nelson said 
"I just wanted to know, that's all."

"Do you think Katarina Wittlis would like to fuck me?" 
Nelson said, knowing Katarina would not be aware of an 
obscure Venezuelan skier like himself. Wittlis won the 
ladies skating gold medal in the last Olympics and was 
here to defend her title. Her homeland of East Germany 
considers her to be a national treasure. 

"Sure Nelson," Mike began in an exasperated, sarcastic 
tone, "I was eating lunch with her the other day and as 
she was biting into her blutwurst, she mentioned that 
she was fond of "spic fichen," that is spic fucking in 
German."

"Okay okay," Nelson said, "I'll shut up and try to go to 
sleep, and try not to think of Katarina, in all of her 
Aryan splendor."

Both Mike the skater and Nelson the skier slept fitfully 
that first night in the Olympic Village, and it wasn't 
over thoughts of Katarina Wittlis. Nelson found himself 
thinking of Mike in a way that was disturbing to him. He 
found Mike's open reactions to his taunts to be exciting 
in a way he couldn't quite understand. 

There was also something about Mike's blue eyes. Nelson 
thought of how Mike's eyes looked earlier in the day, 
when the sun had turned them into a liquid 
phosphorescent color. They were so blue and were now 
haunting him, floating in space disembodied. He tried to 
call up the image of Eva, his girlfriend back in Aspen, 
with her mousy brown hair, small features and milky 
hazel eyes but Mike's eyes and face kept creeping in his 
vision to torment him with physical desire. Nelson felt 
confused and embarrassed at his own thoughts, and was 
sorry for taunting Mike the way he did earlier.

Mike was still awake thinking about his short program, 
going over each step, jump and spin in his mind. He saw 
the red eye of the TV cameras following his every move, 
killing time before the top ten competitors came on to 
skate. Still, even if he weren't in the top ten, 
millions of people might see his performance if ABC 
showed it. 

Nelson's taunts had been an almost pleasant distraction 
from thinking about skating and he was pleased with how 
glibly he'd met Nelson's teasing about being gay, and 
skaters wanting dick up the ass. He thought of the smirk 
on Nelson's face and smiled to himself remembering how 
quickly his retorts left Nelson looking a little bit 
unglued, standing there in the middle of the room after 
his shower, toweling off his strong arms and wiping his 
mass of dark, curly hair. 

"What a fucking shame Nelson is straight," Mike thought 
before he finally fell asleep.

Morning practice went well for Mike. Brian Boichaser 
came right up to him and was friendly, complimenting him 
on his beautiful line and the height of his death drop, 
one of the flying spins required in the short program. 
Mike's death drop was not only jumped high off the ice, 
it looked suspended in the air till it finally dropped 
into the reverse sit spin. 

However, one move does not a short program make and Mike 
knew that his lack of a triple Axel would keep him out 
of high marks in the short program. Dick Button swept 
though the practice rink quickly, followed by an ABC 
assistant with a clipboard. Dick's sharp eye not only 
scanned the ice for the top skaters but he was ever 
vigilant for a handsome face, well shaped ass, and 
masculine demeanor, although how he would express these 
qualities to the viewing public was always a great 
challenge and he shuddered as he thought of his recent 
nightmare, all that drooling and the things he said on 
live national TV.

Catching a flash of green out of the corner of his eye, 
he bowed his head and thought of adjectives he shouldn't 
use to describe skaters in his commentary, "divine, 
gorgeous, exquisite... other adjectives I'll try not to 
use this time..." The sight of Mike Velez bending over 
to adjust his skate, the lime green fabric of his 
skating pants stretching up the crack of perfectly 
formed buttocks drew Dick away from his thoughts. "What 
an exquisite ass," he thought to himself.

Weather on the downhill run was warm and windy. Nelson's 
first practice run had been 2 seconds slower than his 
nearest rival, a skier from Brazil, and on his second 
run he decided to go all out. Half way down the hill he 
lost his balance on a turn and fell, smacking his 
shoulder against a ski as it detached from his boot and 
got tangled in a pole. 

He got up, helped by a course assistant, and put his 
skis back on, rubbing his shoulder to make sure it 
wasn't dislocated, and continued down the run, something 
that wouldn't be allowed in the real race. As he crossed 
the finish line, once again in last place for the run, 
he started feeling depressed, and wished he'd taken his 
training in Aspen more seriously, instead of playing 
around so much. Not only that, he felt a palpable spirit 
of resentment from some skiers from other countries, 
Austria and Germany especially, who he'd met while on 
the competitive circuit earlier in the year.

In Austria alone, there were probably 30 down hillers 
that could achieve a faster time than Nelson, but the 
rules would allow only 3 competitors from the top 
countries. Yet, Nelson, representing Venezuela, was in 
the Olympics and they were not, and never would be.

After Nelson got back to the Olympic Village and found 
Mike was not in the room, he headed for the dining hall 
and hoped to find him there, knowing Mike would 
understand his fears. Mike had gone out for lunch, into 
Calgary with a group of skaters he'd met at practice. 
Nelson sat at a table alone and was quickly joined by 
members of the Austrian and Swiss speed skating teams, 
led by the handsome and jock strapless Kurt Hilgarth. 

Kurt sat down right next to Nelson eyeing his wide 
shoulders and strong arms, while glancing over his tall 
masculine form. In fact, Nelson was not unlike Victor 
Prickupaskovitch, who was the bare-chested Greek god in 
Dick Button's nightmare. The table chatter was a 
momentary distraction for Nelson's feelings of 
frustration and he was pleased when Kurt asked him what 
room he was staying in, and that he might drop in the 
next night, if it was okay. Kurt wrote the number down 
on a piece of paper and folded it. They shook hands 
goodbye and Kurt watched Nelson get up from the table.

Kurt's middle finger darted in and out of a fold of the 
paper he was fidgeting with in his hand, as he watched 
Nelson walk toward the door. At the sight of Nelson's 
backside, Kurt felt his lust rising and wondered if he 
could wait a whole night before he had a go at him. A 
smile crossed his lips as he thought of his past 
successes, as few as there were, in seducing straight 
guys, using the line "you've heard of the novel Moby 
Dick," while touching the huge mass in his pants coyly.

Bouncing into the room in good spirits Mike noticed 
Nelson sulking, sitting on his bed with his head down, 
taking swipes at the textured surface of his official 
Olympic bedspread. "What's the matter?" Mike asked.

Nelson told him about his bad practice runs which led 
into an unburdening of his fear of embarrassing himself 
in front of his friends, family and all of Venezuela and 
the world. He related his fear of falling right out of 
the starting gate or finishing 10 seconds behind the 
leader. To not be in contention for a medal is one 
thing, but to worry about coming in last place. 

Nelson qualified for only the downhill event and had 
begun to blow the situation out of perspective. "Look," 
Mike began, "I'm in the same situation. I'm just going 
to make the best of it. You know long after everyone 
forgets the place standings, which is what, a week after 
the games, well, we have our whole lives to say WE WERE 
THERE."

"I guess you're right," Nelson said, beginning to feel a 
little better, rubbing his sore shoulder as he went to 
the bathroom to take a hot bath. Understanding Nelson's 
fears well, since they were also his own, made Mike want 
to put his arms around him and comfort him, but he 
didn't, thinking Nelson might mistake it for a pass.

Nelson went into the bathroom and got into the large 
tub, leaving the door ajar thinking he might want to say 
something to Mike while soaking. "Oh, I had lunch with 
Kurt Hilgarth." Nelson said casually and Mike sat bolt 
upright on his bed, forgetting his train of thought. 

Making an effort to sound calm and disinterested, Mike 
asked if Kurt had anything to say. "He's going to drop 
in tomorrow evening," Nelson said, adding "should I 
leave the room so you two can get to know each other 
better?" Mike froze for a second and finally said 
"better? I don't know him at all."

"But you'd like to, right?" Nelson said teasingly. "Yes, 
yes, yes," Mike said in disgust as he got up and went 
into the bathroom to face Nelson.

"If you must know, I'd like to fuck his brains out. Does 
that answer your question?" Mike said, glaring at his 
roommate's face and waiting for him to react.

Not wanting to get Mike mad at him, Nelson looked down 
at his bath water to avoid Mike's blue eyed stare and 
said slowly "Do you think you could massage my shoulder 
a little, while you're here, I hurt it in my practice 
run today." Mike felt like grabbing his head of curly 
hair and pushing it under the water but found himself 
obeying, politely agreeing to massage his shoulder, the 
mood having changed completely, because of the 
vulnerable tone of voice Nelson used. 

His left shoulder muscle showed two large bruises his 
shoulder had struck his ski during the fall. Mike knelt 
down beside the tub and put some soap on his hands and 
began massaging. Nelson closed his eyes and started 
feeling relaxed at first, then after a few minutes, 
stimulated.

He could feel his cock getting hard and was glad he was 
sitting up with his back facing Mike so he could hide it 
from him. Mike felt Nelson's strong shoulders and neck 
muscles as he ran his hands over his back, and began 
feeling aroused himself. When he asked Nelson to shift 
his body to rinse his shoulders, Mike was surprised and 
excited to see that Nelson had a huge hardon, the large 
pink knob of his thick cock sticking up above the 
surface of the water.

Mike resumed using his hands to full effect, using more 
gentle motions on Nelson's neck, shoulders and back. 
Nelson was in ecstasy already and above the steamy smell 
of soap he could smell the scent of Mike's skin, which 
smelled good and made him want more of him. He bent his 
head back, eyes closed and opened them looking in 
fascination at the growing bulge in Mike's pants.

He looked up at Mike's blue eyes and turned around 
slowly to face him, putting his hand behind Mike's head, 
drawing his lips slowly toward his, thinking how strange 
and exciting it was to kiss a boy this way. They 
embraced passionately, water droplets from Nelson's arms 
causing dark marks on Nelson's shirt.

"Why don't you take your clothes off, get in with me. 
It's big enough for two people" Nelson said softly. 
"Good idea," Mike breathed, stripping his shirt off, 
letting his pants fall to the floor. He stepped in the 
tub, straddled Nelson's hips with his legs, and eased 
himself down on Nelson's body with one fluid motion, 
wrapping his arms around him, as water splashed out of 
the tub.

The warm water enveloped both their bodies as they 
continued to kiss and stroke each other. Mike worked his 
tongue on Nelson's nipples and felt them grow hard. It 
was the first time anyone had done this to Nelson and he 
writhed in pleasure at the feel of Mike's hot tongue, 
which he thought was sent straight from Hell to torture 
him with delight.

Mike gently grasped Nelson's balls, as he let his tongue 
lick down from his nipples, following a hairy line right 
down to take his hard pink cockhead between his lips. 
Nelson found himself lusting for every part of a guy for 
the first time in his life. He wanted to be inside Mike 
and take him inside of himself both at once, and he 
continued to run his hands over Mike as he felt himself 
shoot a huge stream of cum up over his chest.

For Mike, the pleasure of playing with a guy, driving 
him to this level of ecstasy, had its own reward. He was 
surprised when Nelson, after he came, went hungrily for 
his dick and began sucking like a starved baby, his own 
dick going hard again. Mike came into his mouth as he 
jerked another load out of Nelson's big member.

Nelson felt rattled as he climbed out of the tub. Mike 
sensed his confusion and didn't know what to say. After 
all, it took him 2 years to fully realize he was gay and 
that all happened when he was 15 years old. He moved 
toward Nelson and said "just take it easy Nelson. I know 
this is something new for you. I'm not going to make you 
do it again if you don't want." Nelson was tired and he 
climbed into his bed and fell asleep. Although Mike 
realized Nelson was probably bisexual, he also realized 
that Nelson wasn't ready for an emotional relationship 
with a man. 

He pictured Nelson in the morning, pretending nothing 
had happened.

For the pairs finals, Mike sat in the special seats 
reserved for Olympic participants. The top Russian pair 
of Gordeeva and Grinkov were far superior to all the 
other pairs but Mike was happy Jill Jetson and Peter 
Oppinhard were in position to win the bronze. 

Jill had such bad luck in the past, having taken enough 
dives to almost qualify for the summer Olympics. She 
fell in the long program, but her performance was 
otherwise fine, and Mike stood up and clapped his hands 
red at the end of their program. Dorothy Hambone was 
sitting a few seats away, there with her new 
husband/doctor. She waved to Mike and gave him one of 
her "Hi, I'm Dorothy Hambone" smiles.

Dorothy skated in Lake Placid a few times, but Mike was 
only a boy then, and they didn't have much to talk 
about. Mike was pleased she remembered him at all after 
winning a gold medal and earning around 10 million 
dollars in the past 12 years, since winning the 1976 
Olympics in Innsbruck. She made 2 million in 
endorsements from Clairol. Who could forget her Hambone 
haircut. Although the American Brian Boichaser stood to 
make a few million should he win the gold, it was 
nothing compared with the stardom that could be attained 
by a female ice queen.

Mike had watched pair skater Sergei Grinkov in practice 
and found it impossible to get near him since the 
security around him was as tight as his terrific ass, 
and he also felt unnerved by Serge's quirky good looks 
and celebrity status. Mike began breathing normally only 
after the pairs competition finally ended. Sympathizing 
with each pair of skaters as they took to the ice was 
getting exhausting. He thought of how glad he was not to 
be in pairs.

"How awkward it is to blow it and have your partner 
depending on you. Just being chained to a partner for 
your skating career could be difficult, especially at 
the top, where you are not recognized as an individual 
but always linked to your partner, even romantically, 
whether there is any romance or not. Poor Randy Garden, 
forever linked to Tai Babbalogna... her tits and hips 
getting bigger every year and you gotta just keep 
lifting..." Mike daydreamed.

When Mike got back to his room it was 11 p.m. and as he 
entered, there was Kurt "underwearless" Hilgarth sitting 
right on his bed. He'd forgotten that Kurt was coming 
over to visit Nelson. Kurt was explaining something 
about the mountains of Innsbruck as Mike entered the 
room, and then he forgot what he was saying. 
Mike reflexively bent over to pick up a pair of dirty 
underwear he'd left on the floor and Kurt swallowed hard 
as he saw Mike's ass. Mike straightened and held his 
dirty underwear out and said, "You don't wear these do 
you."

The brazen Kurt Hilgarth had met his match in Mike Velez 
and Kurt blushed, as he mumbled something about not 
finding underwear comfortable, adding defensively that 
there was no law that said skaters had to wear certain 
clothes under their suits.

Nelson make a polite excuse to leave them alone, saying 
he had to visit another skier and that he'd be back in 
an hour. He'd promised to help a fellow Venezuelan with 
his ski base preparation, and didn't think Kurt would 
come so late. "I'm sure you two will have lots to talk 
about, being both skaters and all" Nelson said as he 
ducked out the door.

"Nice guy," Kurt said, nodding toward the departing 
Nelson.

"Yes, he's great" Mike said, "but let's talk about you 
Kurt."

Kurt didn't say anything and instead they locked stares 
and Mike advanced toward him like a cheetah stalking its 
prey. There were only so many opportunities for athletes 
to have privacy during the games and Mike wasn't going 
to let this chance pass him by. Pushing Kurt back on the 
bed, Mike put his knee on top of Kurt's chest and 
grabbed the front of his shirt at the neck. 

"Listen you sexy bastard, take your clothes off before I 
rip them off," Mike said to a genuinely startled Kurt.

Kurt was used to making the moves and at first was 
hesitant, which quickly have way to submission, as he 
obeyed, swiftly removing his clothes and throwing them 
to the side of the bed. The legendary mass was growing 
after being released from its confinement. Mike was 
transfixed by its size and its ugly beauty. Kurt was 
horny as hell and he unbuttoned Mike's pants and pulled 
them off, grabbing for his dick like it was the finish 
line.

Even if there hadn't been a health crisis, there was no 
way Mike was going to let a guy with a dick like Kurt's 
fuck him, with or without a condom. It was simply too 
big. Kurt grabbed his cock and waved it back and forth 
like a bat. 

"It is big, no?" he smiled the same roguish grin as in 
the magazine photo. 

"Yeah, it sure is Kurt baby, but I can't get fucked with 
that, it'd kill me, I wouldn't be able to walk, let 
alone skate, for weeks." 

Kurt laughed and grabbed Mike's head in his hands 
playfully and kissed his open mouth. Kurt's tongue could 
reach almost as far as his dick and their kissing got so 
intense, Mike really wanted to feel himself inside of 
Kurt and he raised Kurt's muscular legs, knees straining 
toward his shoulders and felt for his ass hole. Still 
wet from Kurt's saliva, Mike eased his 7 inches up Kurt 
as Kurt groaned. He grabbed Kurt's hard bat and stroked 
it steadily. Kurt wanted it even harder.

"Achhh, fuck me harder," he called out as Mike began 
banging Kurt's hot ass as hard as he could. Mike was 
glistening with sweat as he drove himself into the hunky 
speed skater's ass with all his might. Finally, he came 
and a few seconds later gobs of cum oozed out of Kurt's 
fat dick head in a pulsating stream. Not only was he 
hung like a horse but he came like one too.

"I'd better go, before Nelson returns," Kurt said, 
pulling his jeans on and hurrying out the door. "See 
you," he said as he winked and ran out. In the hallway, 
he did a jump, as if over barrels and through a hoop of 
flame, and then skipped his way past security people.

A few minutes later Nelson came in as Mike was getting 
ready to step in the shower, which he delayed for a few 
minutes. Mike liked the smell of Kurt on him, shit and 
all. By the time Mike finished his shower, Nelson was 
already in bed, covers pulled up to his chin. "So, did 
Kurt fuck you?" he asked.

"No, in fact, he didn't, if you must know, I fucked 
him." A streak of jealousy pierced Nelson's being, the 
same kind he felt with his girlfriends when they showed 
interest in other men. 

But, he controlled his feelings this time, since they 
were for a guy and logic told him he didn't want to get 
involved with Mike anyway. Kurt's short strong body did 
not have the same effect on Nelson as it did most 
people, and he couldn't understand why Mike was excited 
over him. He was too loud and cocky for one thing, 
Nelson thought.

Although sex was exciting, Mike had his compulsory 
figure competition the next day, and nothing was more 
important. It was as if sex made a good diversion from 
the constant pressure of thinking about the Olympics, 
the years of training leading to these few days.

For Kurt Hilgarth, Mike had been more than a diversion. 
Nineteen years old and still living at home in 
Innsbruck, Kurt had very few sexual experiences. He met 
no one of interest at the University, and there were 
only a few surreptitious couplings, Kurt playing the top 
man, with guys like Henk, a married Dutch speed skater 
he saw only during competitions.

Kurt found Henk attractive but felt guilty about fucking 
him, knowing he was married. Henk was kind but made it 
clear that it was more a compulsion with him, to have 
men once and while, or be HAD by a man once and a while, 
and that it wasn't going to interfere with his marriage.

Kurt went back to his room and couldn't sleep for 2 
hours thinking of Mike's smell and the feel of his dick 
inside him, which left a pleasant soreness as a 
reminder. He drew out his huge cock and jerked off 
thinking of Mike inside him. In the morning he wrote a 
short note, self conscious of his English, but knowing 
he had to write something.

   -----------------------------------------
   Dear Mike,

   Last night was fantastic. I think of you
   often. I can't sleep for wanting you and 
   hope you feel something for me and like 
   me a little at least. 

      Sincerely, Kurt

   -----------------------------------------

When Mike read the note, just before he went to 
breakfast, it made him glow inside and the colors around 
him seemed more intense. Suddenly being in the Olympics 
was something to be savored and no matter how he did in 
the competition, he'd have the pleasant memory of Kurt. 
He thought he'd better keep his head and concentrate on 
the figure competition, but without missing out on the 
excitement of just being there.

People who'd drawn numbers before him were completing 
their first figure and Mike laced his skates carefully, 
thinking of every element of the back change loop he had 
to skate as his first figure. When he got on the ice, he 
looked at the sparse audience, some of whom were 
spectators who couldn't get tickets to the free skating, 
and had to settle for watching people trace figure 
eights. Mike would have felt a little sympathy for them 
ordinarily, but his mind was on the back change loop 
figure only.

Mike thought of Kurt for a second, and took a deep 
breath before stepping on the ice. He didn't have 
anything to lose really, he was "just one of the skaters 
people don't notice," he kept telling himself. The first 
figure was skated and he knew it was good by the look on 
his coaches face. It was ranked 7th out of the 22 
skaters and coach Pudesco was beaming as if Mike had 
already won a gold medal.

The next two figures were more characteristic and pulled 
his overall score back to 12th place, but he couldn't 
help feeling overjoyed that there were 10 skaters behind 
him. His forte was free skating and the short program 
was the next day, and if skated well, would surely 
position him in the top ten. Walking down a dank hallway 
toward the locker room, Mike felt a hand touch his 
shoulder and looked over to find Kurt at his side.

Kurt put both his arms in a bear hug around Mike and 
lifted him up off his feet saying "way to go!"

"Put me down you animal," Mike said laughing. Arms 
around each other's shoulders, they headed down the hall 
together.

At lunch in the dining hall, they found a corner table 
with some Russian cross-country skiers who didn't speak 
any English or care about meeting them.

"I got your note," Mike began slowly, as he watched a 
look of anxious anticipation come over Kurt's face, "and 
want to thank you," he continued, as he put his hand 
under the table and pet Kurt's inner thigh. Kurt smiled 
at first but then frown as he realized he was getting a 
voluminous erection. Kurt grabbed the hand and said, 
"Stop that, or I'm going to make the table go up, you 
know with my dick."

Mike laughed and thought of the table rising toward the 
ceiling. In the raucous clatter of the dining hall, they 
talked about their families and childhoods. Mike was 
surprised that Kurt had grown up as an only child, and 
not surrounded by friends, but still alone, like he'd 
been in Lake Placid.

Back in Kurt's room, Mike sat on his lap and they kissed 
affectionately as he eyed a clock on the table for a 
moment. Mike had practice in a short while and Kurt had 
his first race that evening, the first of three. Both 
wanting to conserve energy, they stopped feeling each 
other's bodies and just looked into one another's eyes, 
satiating an emotional thirst they'd both suffered from. 

Mike broke the silence with, "What's it like having such 
a huge cock? as he placed his hand on Kurt's growing 
crotch.

"Ha, I don't know, it has always been with me... what's 
it like having such blue eyes?" Kurt countered, touching 
Mike's cheekbone and mimicking the same tone of voice 
Mike used in his question.

Mike noticed his eyes in the mirror and although he 
liked their blue color, he saw nothing special in them. 
However, other people, even passers by, often found them 
startlingly blue and some even thought he had a special 
power to see things, like a seer might.

"For speed skating, my dick is no good," Kurt began, 
wrinkling his brow and reflecting on it for a moment as 
if it were a serious philosophical question, "it is like 
a suitcase I have to carry between my legs and it not 
helps me to skate. I think all the best speed skaters 
carry small baggage," he added.

Kurt had often felt insecure about himself because some 
men would look at his crotch before they would look at 
his face. On the street, he wore pants that were baggy 
so people would not stare. For speed skating, he found 
all forms of athletic support to create a cramping 
feeling and early on he discovered the only solution was 
to wear nothing at all under his tights, although even 
that was not completely comfortable. So it showed more-
he knew he was envied and it's no different than a girl 
with big tits-sometimes there's not much you can do to 
hide.

Kurt's first race, the 500 meter, was not his best event 
and he finished in 7th place which was 2 places higher 
than he expected since the American seated above him 
fell, having had to cope with news of his sister's death 
earlier in the day. Dan Jensen's family tragedy helped 
Kurt's place standing. Kurt's best event was yet to come 
and he knew he had a remote chance at a medal, he just 
didn't want to think about it too much, there were many 
factors. He wanted Mike to be there and since it was 3 
hours before he had to skate his short program in figure 
skating, Mike agreed to come.

"Kurt looks so hot in his green skating tights" Mike 
thought as he watched Kurt nervously waiting for his 
race to begin. He was one of the last to skate and but 
when the gun sounded, he exploded off the starting line, 
a little out of control at first. Mike felt as though he 
were inside Kurt again, as much as he did the night 
before, only this time he was skating for him. When he 
crossed the finish line his time flashed on the board 
and he'd won the bronze medal. 

Kurt was ecstatic and enthusiastically extending his 
hand to skaters who wanted to shake it. The Austrian 
coach was in tears since it had been several years since 
Austria had won any medals in speed skating. Too far 
away from Kurt to get down near him quickly, Mike was 
stuck up in the stands while the last few skaters 
finished the race.

At the medal ceremony, the silver medal winning East 
German looked sad in contrast to the smiling Kurt, who 
looked like he'd just won five gold medals instead of a 
bronze. The medal ceremony wasn't shown on American TV, 
since an American didn't win a medal, and it took some 
fancy camera work for Kirk's dick not to dominate the 
screen. 

Kurt was looking for Mike in the audience and finally 
their eyes met, Mike biting his lip with excitement and 
joy for Kurt, and partly in anxiety-his short program 
was only a few hours away. Many European newscasters and 
journalists were very much interested in interviewing 
Kurt, and Mike had to fight his way through the throng 
to shake his hand.

A German reporter asked Kurt a question and Mike slipped 
away to head for dinner, so he would have energy to 
skate the evening's short program. He met Nelson in the 
dining hall and told him about Kurt's bronze medal. 
Halfway through his meal of turkey-tetrazini on toast 
points, Kurt came swaggering in, accompanied by a few 
Austrian and German speed skaters who were basking in 
his limelight, hoping some good fortune would rub off on 
them.

Winning the bronze medal puts an athlete in the 
statistics books but it doesn't mean any riches in 
product endorsements. Many skaters wouldn't be happy 
with anything less than gold.

"Where did you go?" Kurt asked Mike when he finally 
located him. Mike explained that he didn't think Kurt 
would get away for hours with all the fans mobbing him. 
Kurt grabbed Mike's arm and lead him into the bathroom, 
where he turned and put his arms around his neck, 
kissing him without regard for anyone lurking in a 
toilet stall. "I love you Mike," he said without 
hesitation.

"Oh come on Kirk," Mike said holding himself back for a 
moment, wanting to believe he meant it, "That's just the 
bronze medal in you talking."

"No, No, no, nein, it isn't, Kurt said convincingly, "I 
love you and I want to have your baby," he said as he 
grabbed Mike's crotch. They both howled as the sound of 
their laughter ricocheted off the tile walls. They 
returned to the table happy, looking like they'd both 
won the Olympics.

In contrast to the simplicity and excitement of the race 
for gold in the speed skating oval, the atmosphere in 
the Saddledome was thick with tension for the men's 
short program. Brian Orifiz hadn't kept skating for 4 
years, since his second place finish in the last 
Olympics, only come in second again. He kept pacing back 
and forth, walkman playing his therapeutic distraction 
music. 

Boichaser had the lead after figures and everyone who 
had seen his sensational short program in the U.S. 
Nationals knew he could conceivably do it again and 
cause the final long program to be a heated face-off. 
The focus was heavily on the two Brians and Mike and 
other skaters felt relief that they didn't have the 
extra pressure of publicity and expectations.

Mike was the 4th skater of the evening, as he skated to 
the center of the ice, feeling unreal at the wave of 
applause that greeted him, mostly from Americans who 
considered him one of theirs even though he represented 
Venezuela, knowing that he grew up in the U.S. The sound 
of Ravel's Daphnis and Chloe Suite No. 2 filled the 
arena as Mike closed his eyes and concentrated on the 
sequence leading to his first jump combination. His 
turns felt smooth on the newly cleaned pristine ice that 
had not been chewed up by skaters before him. His triple 
jump combination made the audience gasp as he threw the 
second jump way into the air and seemed to hang in space 
for a few seconds before landing. 

However, a triple Loop is only of moderate difficulty in 
the array of skating tricks and unless he jumped ten 
feet off the ice, it would never compare with the triple 
Axels of the top skaters.

While entering one of his camel spins, the audience held 
its breath as he stumbled by catching a toe rake in the 
ice, but recovered sufficiently to execute the spin 
well. A high death drop and it was over. Waiting for his 
marks, he stood in front of a TV camera and as the first 
set came up, all hovering in the 5.0 range for technical 
merit, the audience booed.

When the artistic impression scores flashed on the 
board, the audience's reaction quickly changed as he 
received all 5.7s for artistic impression, except for 
the American judge who gave him a 5.6. Mike felt like 
jumping up and down when the high artistic scores were 
displayed but instead tried to smile in an acceptable 
way for the millions who might be watching on 
television, if it were being shown live.

As he was leaving the arena on his way to the dressing 
room, Coach Pudesco's arm around his shoulder, Mike 
could hear Dick Button's voice mumbling in the 
background as another skater was ready to begin his 
program. JoJo Starcluck, pair skater from back in the 
early 70's, stop to congratulate him on his way down the 
hall, and told him perkily, "and you made live ABC 
coverage Mike!"

An hour later, in the final group, Boichaser and Orifiz 
came out and skated spectacular routines to remain neck 
and neck going into the long program the following 
evening. Mike was 8th in the short program which brought 
him up to 10th place overall.

"I wish it was over," Mike told Kurt when they reached 
his room after the competition, "I'd be happy to finish 
in 10th place overall" he thought as he sighed and 
thought how glad he was not to be one of the Brians. 
"When are we going to have a chance to sleep together?" 
Mike asked Kurt in a plaintive tone not expecting an 
answer. He knew that it would all be over for both of 
them tomorrow night and they could start enjoying the 
Olympics and each other. Mike walked Kurt out the door 
just as Nelson was coming in to go to bed.

Nelson's regular breathing during sleep soothed Mike as 
he listened to it, still wide awake at 2 a.m. He 
couldn't get the idea of doing a quadruple jump out of 
his mind. No skater had ever landed one cleanly in 
competition, although Boichaser had tried in the past, 
and he was known for doing them easily in practice. Only 
one skater in the competition was attempting one, a 
Canadian boy who was not in the running for a medal 
therefore had nothing to risk.

In practice a few weeks before, Mike had landed his 
first and only quadruple, a quadruple toe-loop, and he 
thought of the furor that it would cause, if he, a 
nobody in 10th place, landed one in the Olympic finals. 
After deciding to talk it over with coach Pudesco in the 
morning, Mike finally turned over and went to sleep.

"Sure, if you want to try it, go ahead, why not, but 
only if you feel you can do it" Pudesco said, scratching 
his head in delighted amazement that his black sheep 
Venezuelan might rise to the occasion and go down in 
skating history. Pudesco knew better than to try to hold 
a bucking stallion by the reins and so far, Mike had 
already done better than his highest expectations.

Mike did not try the quad in practice that afternoon 
saying that it might make him change his mind, and after 
all, he didn't want to injure himself trying something 
new in practice. He hurried off to watch Kurt's final 
race. Kurt placed 12th in his last race, but was happy. 
His times were good, and he had a bronze medal. Only a 
small proportion of Olympic competitors go home with any 
medal.

"Well Liebchen," Kurt said to Mike before going to his 
seat in the athlete's section of the arena, "I love you 
baby, and I'll wait for you by this door over here" Kurt 
said pointing to an exit door. Mike was on his own now, 
this long program would be his last hurdle. There were 2 
groups of six skaters that went before him and he wanted 
to watch a few of the first skaters, just to get a feel 
of the full arena.

Kurt brushed past Dorothy Hambone on his way to his seat 
and she leaned over and said in a low voice, "Is it as 
big as they say?" Kurt looked at her and whispered, "You 
will never know" as she broke out in good natured 
laughter as he continued to his seat.

Backstage, the minutes dragged by for Mike as he started 
to think about his mother, and how he wished she were 
alive to be there to see him skate. Being gay, or being 
straight-it wouldn't have mattered to her. She would 
have loved him as he is no matter what his sexual 
preference. Since green was her favorite color and she 
said it always looked good against his creamy brown 
skin, Mike wore green in all competitions. He thought 
about his costume, and smiled as he thought of Kurt in 
his green speed skating tights, which of course, was the 
Austrian uniform in speed skating for the Olympics.

The long program competition in progress, Mike went into 
the locker room and started getting prepared in a 
ritualistic manner. First taking his clothes off, he put 
on his special supportive underwear, green in color, so 
they wouldn't show through his green pants. The dark 
green silk shirt fit his body loosely, although it was 
held in by high waisted pants which showed off his long 
legs and beautiful ass. He fastened the straps of his 
pants underneath his skates and headed out for the warm 
up, which was to begin in fifteen minutes.

The skaters ranked from 6th place to 10th, on the basis 
of the combined score from figures and short program, 
were ready to take to the ice for their warm up. Mike 
had drawn numbers and he was second to skate, right 
after George Canby, the Canadian skater who would be 
attempting a quadruple toe-loop jump.

Coach Pudesco arranged to tell Mike whether Canby had 
completed the jump successfully by giving him a hand 
signal as Mike came out to enter the ice. If Canby had 
made it, Mike didn't want to risk it. But if Canby blew 
it...

George Canby did not complete the rotations of his 
quadruple toe loop and the rest of his program, which 
included a bad fall, threatened to lower him from 6th 
place. Also in the next to the last group with Mike were 
two Americans, Paul Whileaway and Christopher Blowman, 
both excellent skaters, but it was Mike's turn now.

An exchanged glance with Coach Pudesco, his palm turned 
toward the ice showed Mike that Mark had not completed 
his quad toe-loop. The audience roared as Mike skated to 
the center of the ice, waiting for his music to start. 
Kurt swallowed hard as Mike's name was being announced 
over the loud speaker, as Dorothy Hambone looked over at 
him and smiled, feeling delighted that she knew a 
secret, that Kurt was there to watch Mike.

It was written in every tense line of Kurt's face. A 
trumpet fanfare heralded the wide serpentine sequence of 
turns which led to Mike's first jump sequence, a triple-
toe loop followed immediately by another triple toe-
loop.

Dick Button had watched Mike do his triple toe-loop, 
triple toe-loop combination in practice and was 
announcing it to the audience, "You know Jim, this 
Venezuelan boy has a lot of style, but his technique is 
just not up to par with the top skaters... he will be 
opening with the same jump combination Debbie Tumors 
opens with in her long program and let's see how he does 
it."

"Just imagine what Venezuela thinks of this young man, 
how proud they must be Dick" Jim said, reading from his 
script of mindless chatter.

Mike felt an enormous tension building in his legs as he 
made the turn from forward to backward in his approach 
curve for his first triple toe loop. The curve felt just 
right, fast, and he decided right there that if the 
landing on his first triple was okay, he'd throw himself 
into a quadruple with all his strength. Toe pick pole 
vaulting him neatly into the air for his first triple, 
Dick Button murmured "nice" into the microphone and then 
with a burst of energy, in attempt to get all the height 
necessary to complete all 4 rotations of the quadruple 
toe-loop.

Mike threw himself high into the air, pulling in his 
arms swiftly, and landed on one foot after completing 
all four rotations, the first person to do so in any 
competition. As he landed he knew he'd done it because 
the sound of his music had been replaced by a deafening 
roar coming from the audience. Like a tidal wave, he 
rode the sound into his next sequence which was a 
comparatively pedestrian double Axel followed by a 
flying camel spin.

Dick Button stammered and stuttered for a few seconds 
until he realized fully what he'd just seen. "I don't 
believe it," he said to the live viewers at home, "this 
boy has just done something no one has ever 
accomplished, a quadruple toe-loop, and I didn't even 
know it was in his program!"

"Not only did he do a quadruple toe-loop, he did it in 
the exquisitely difficult combination out of a triple 
toe loop... It was simply divine and totally unheard of, 
I mean never seen before... just gorgeous..." Dick 
continued, violating his self imposed taboo on using 
words like "divine" and "exquisite" in his commentary.

Jim Macaw chimed in with an idiotic, "But what does this 
mean Dick, does he have a chance for a medal?" As Dick 
was explaining that no, even perfect marks could not 
pull a person from 10th place into 3rd, unless the top 
skater did "very poorly, very poorly" Dick repeated as 
Jim said "very poorly" like a parrot in training.

Finally, after a minute into his program the din began 
to settle down and Mike found his place with the music. 
Several fans were still on their feet and Dorothy 
Hambone was clapping her hands and saying over and over 
to her husband, "I don't believe it, I just don't 
believe it!"

Kurt felt a surge of excitement, brought on largely by 
the audience who was making more noise than anything 
he'd ever expected at a figure skating event, and 
realized that Mike had done something extraordinary in 
his opening jump. People around him were saying the word 
"quadruple" and Kurt realized that Mike must have done 
the first one ever.

Going into a triple flip jump, Mike became twisted in 
the air and fell off his landing edge, skidding on his 
ass toward the barrier. The audience "ooohed" in 
sympathy but he got up in one smooth motion, and after 
just making history in his triple- quadruple 
combination, he almost didn't notice he fell. Another 
slip caused him to double out of a triple Salchow and a 
minute later he did the same with a triple Loop.

"This will effect his score," Dick said, still very 
excited about the quadruple, "but who cares about scores 
when you are headed for the history books."

"I'll say," Jim chimed in, picking up on Dick's 
uncontained excitement.

Mike ended his program with a well- centered scratch 
spin and the audience was on its feet. Taking several 
bows to the tremendous ovation, there was a delay before 
the next competitor could get on the ice, Christopher 
Blowman. Before leaving the ice, while taking his bows 
to a tremendous ovation, Mike held both his arms in the 
air and looked up to where Kurt was sitting and said to 
himself out loud, "I did it, I did it."

Mike's scores were high enough to pull him into 5th 
place. After Brian Boichaser accepted his gold medal, he 
skated to the side of the ice where Mike was standing, 
and raised Mike's arm for everyone to see. Boichaser was 
quite a sportsman to relinquish part of his moment of 
deserved glory to an unknown Venezuelan competitor. In 
the news for the next few days, film clips of the 2 
Brians would be followed by 10 seconds of Mike Velez 
performing the first quadruple jump in competition.

"Mike Velez, the dual national Venezuelan who came out 
of nowhere to capture the spirit of these Olympic 
games," the announcer said, happy to have a sunny story 
to report.

Mike had to push through the crowd to get to the door 
where he knew Kurt was waiting. Finally he got up to 
him, through many people. "Look, I'll meet you back in 
my room, in an hour or so, when this is all over." 

Most of the reporters were gathered around Brian 
Boichaser but the people from the foreign press, as well 
as members of the skating world who couldn't get close 
to Boichaser, came up to get a look at Mike, and to 
congratulate him. It seemed like a dream and Mike, all 
of a sudden, wanted to be alone for a few minutes. He 
thought of his mother and what this would have meant to 
her.

Students back at Potsdam were planning a Michael Velez 
day while Mike's father was receiving calls from people 
he didn't know, asking for interviews. He hadn't even 
been watching the TV, as Mike suspected. Under the 
circumstances, realizing that his faggot son was a hero, 
he rose to the occasion and pretended that he had been 
following Mike's skating enthusiastically all along. 
Several people watching at the bar in Lake Placid, were 
surprised to hear that Joe Velez even had a son, let 
alone that he was now an Olympic record holder.

Nelson fell during his first downhill run and was almost 
happy he didn't have to finish with a time that was much 
slower than other competitors. He was anxious to get 
back to Aspen where his father had promised him he'd buy 
him a new sports car, no matter how he finished.

Spot lights glare on an empty patch of ice as Kurt 
emerges in a pair of white tights, a pack of white 
poodles scampering along at his heels. He circles the 10 
barrels that are placed in the center of the ice as the 
music builds dramatically. The poodles try to keep up 
with him but keep slipping. They take short cuts through 
the center, much to the audience's amusement.

Then as Kurt takes his leap over the barrels, the 
poodles jump on top of them and hop from barrel to 
barrel to meet their trainer who is waiting to make his 
entrance behind the curtain. Trainer and dogs come out 
and the dogs perform a precision routine where they jump 
through hoops and over each other, and through the 
hollow barrels. A large hoop is set a flame and hung 
over the barrels as Kurt skates out again, lights 
lowered this time, spotlights causing the sequins on his 
black costume to glitter. A drum roll begins and Kurt 
jumps over the barrels and through the hoop, his three 
minutes of skating completed for the night, done for the 
salary of $35,000 a year.

Festive island music fills the arena as forty skaters 
come on in feathered South Seas-via-Hollywood costumes, 
shaking and dancing across the ice to the rhythm of 
jungle drums. A pirate appears and scares away the 
merry-making islanders, but soon he's challenged by 
Errol Flynn in the form of Mike Velez.

After an extended sword fighting sequence, both men 
skating and skidding around the ice, Mike runs his 
opponent through at a climactic moment and skates a 
dynamic victor's solo as the islanders gyrate joyously 
in the background. The number has been carefully planned 
to bring the audience to a fever pitch for Mike's 
arrival, and when he skates, the audience swoons. Mike 
finishes his number to thunderous applause and heads for 
his dressing room to change into another costume for his 
final number of the evening.

The South American tour of Holiday on Ice netted twice 
as much money compared with the previous year, all 
because of Mike Velez. He took his already excellent 
style and turned it into something blatantly sexual. His 
acting ability to play macho roles to the hilt, rare in 
most male skaters, exuded a sexuality that drove 
audiences wild.

"We've got to talk about this" Mike turned to Kurt, who 
was peeling off his eyeliner, his part in the show 
finished for the evening. Kurt's contract for a solo act 
was not renewed for the following year since he refused 
to go to one of the European divisions and perform his 
barrel jumping act there, without Mike. The show offered 
Mike a raise of a hundred thousand dollars, making his 
yearly salary three hundred thousand, if he'd stay on 
for a second year and repeat the South American tour, 
where he was most popular.

Mike didn't want to see Kurt return to Innsbruck, and he 
knew Kurt was getting a tired of barrel jumping. He 
wanted to find the words to tell Kurt that he wanted him 
to stay with him on the tour. "It's all because of you 
Kurt, that I had the guts to try a quad in the first 
place," Mike said. "You know," he continued, "if I 
hadn't done that one jump, I probably wouldn't have been 
noticed by anyone and if I'd gotten in a show at all, I 
would have been at the bottom of the barrel, making what 
Gina makes, twenty-two a year."

Kurt sat listening, nodding his head, hoping to hear 
what he wanted to hear. 

Mike said in a matter of fact tone, "Even for the three 
hundred thousand Kirk baby, I can't do it without you 
here." 

Kurt let his breath out in relief. "Okay then, I'll 
stay," he said.

During their second year in South America with Holiday 
on Ice, Mike was still a popular figure with the crowds 
that came to see the show, and many came specifically to 
see Mike Velez, one of their own, in the show. Kurt was 
happy, using his free time to read about the culture of 
the various South American cities through which they 
traveled.

Even the dogs, now doodling their way around in a 
European tour, were happy, because they never liked 
sharing their act with Kurt in the first place. Mike and 
Kurt left the show a year later and bought a house 
together in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where they started a 
bicycle business.
