Petr Barna as Charlie Chaplin


Petr Barna at the 1992 Albertville Olypmics's Exhibition Gala.

Though as far as sport and competition go, for those not familiar with figure skating, exhibitions are done after the competition and the winners or runners up* get to perform. They are not for a prize nor are they scored; he wasn't competing for anything here. Exhibition skates are more relaxed rules-wise, so sillier choreography and costumes, weirder song choices, and props are more often seen in them.

*For those curious, Petr Barna won bronze in this Olympics!
[ed. I keep coming back to this. What a great performance.]
