	BookPage Children's Review: Boitano's Edge
		One reason for the increased popularity in the sport is the artistry, class and dedication of Brian Boitano, 1988 gold medalist for the U.S. In the opening pages of "Boitano's Edge: Inside the Real World of Figure Skating," he describes the experience of winning that gold medal as though it happened last week.
		Younger readers won't remember "the Battle of the Brians" in which Boitano's principal competition was Canadian skater Brian Orser, but Boitano takes them through his exciting routine from the beginning spiral to the final triple Axel and then the nail-biting wait for the news in the dressing room.
		More a look inside the world of figure skaters, Boitano and writer Suzanne Harper describe the training and preparation, costume rules and costs (Nancy Kerrigan's costume for the 1994 Olympics was valued at $13,000), music selection and choreography, judging, touring as a professional, skating moves, the rules of competition and famous skaters of the past.

		This oversized account of the career of Brian Boitano, the 1988 Olympics Men's Single Champion at Calgary, Canada, is filled with full-color photos, quotations from fellow competitors such as Scott Hamilton, statistics, and skating hype.
		Boitano's offering distinguishes itself by focusing on the skating life rather than giving a strict recounting of his own awards and honors.
		But Boitano's chatty account of his amateur victories and professional challenges, the wealth of fascintating figure skating addenda and commentary, and the gallery of enticing snapshots and stunning action photos effectively brush these concerns aside.
