Summer's disco version of MacArthur's Park requires so much endurance--she'd already done so many jumps during the "slower" part, and then it goes full "disco." And she got the "musical adrenaline" and just went there.

An incredible performance to a perfect choice of song.

given her stellar skating and beautiful artistry, but the event was held in Boston and Donna Summer is beloved there as a "local girl who made good."

I don't think I've ever seen women's figure skating done so well!
