Summary
Figure skating was the social media hit of the Winter Olympics, with stars like Alyssa Liu becoming globally famous over the course of the Games. But it wasn't just the skaters going viral - fans' eyes were also drawn to Jordan Cowan, a cameraman in a sparkling white suit, who took to the ice after routines to capture the emotion and atmosphere like never before. Formerly a competitive skater himself, Jordan now uses his on-ice skills and passion for cinema to create intimate films of the world's greatest skaters at work. His On Ice Perspectives YouTube and social media channels have become hugely popular, giving fans a new way of seeing figure skating - and also helping to introduce the sport to a new generation. More than the Score's Sophia Hartley talks to Jordan Cowan about how his childhood in Los Angeles sparked his love of film, the methods he uses to capture skating from angles few people get to see, and the transformative effect social media is having on his sport.
