But they'll be sharing the ice.

Boitano captured his first national title in 1985 and went on to win two world titles and the gold medal at the1988 Olympic Winter Games. His unmatched competitive record also includes four national titles, and a record six world professional championships. Boitano is a member of the United States Olympic Committee Hall of Fame.
Ticket information for the event will be announced this summer.
