Video: Figure skater excites with Riverdance routine on ice

A YOUNG American figure-skater received a standing ovation after impressing the crowd with his “Riverdance” performance.

19-year-old James Brown wowed the crowd with his “footwork” at the US Figure Skating Championships in Boston on Sunday, causing the commentator to state that “It’s like his Riverdance!"

"There's room for the entertainer, the artist and the athlete... he's got it all," he added.

Brown certainly had the luck of the Irish on his side as he was placed second overall and will go on to compete on the US Men's Figure Skating Olympic team in Sochi.
