Two-time Olympic silver medalist Elvis Stojko will lead the figure skaters and Olympic All-Around and U.S. Team silver medalist Nastia Liukin will lead the gymnasts in an event that combines two of the most popular Olympic sports. Olympic, World and National medalists from figure skating and gymnastics will perform alongside each other in Progressive’s "Skating and Gymnastics Spectacular" this Sunday at 4 p.m. ET. This show is the third part of the Pandora NBC Skating Series, produced by Disson Skating in conjunction with NBC.
The show is hosted by Olympic and World champions Peggy Fleming, Nadia Comaneci, and Bart Conner from the iWireless Center in Moline, Ill.
Stojko will be accompanied by fellow figure skating champions including Joannie Rochette, Michael Weiss, and Caryn Kadavy. Liukin will be joined by Olympic medalists Jonathon Horton, Courtney Kupets and Courtney McCool.
These champions will perform to live musical performances by some of today’s newest singing sensations. Greyson Chance and Cody Simpson will sing along with Disney Channel renowned Shane Harper and Nickelodeon actress and singer Ariana Grande.
