Talk:Robert McCall (figure skater)

Rob McCall
1988 Olympic bronze medalist in ice dance, with Tracy Wilson 1986-88 World bronze medalist, with Tracy Wilson 1982-88 Canadian champion in ice dance, with Tracy Wilson 1981 Canadian champion in ice dance, with McNeil

Rob McCall was one of the greatest ice dancers Canada has ever produced, a gifted choreographer, and by all accounts a witty, well-loved man. With Tracy Wilson, he followed up multiple Canadian dance titles with a medal-winning freeskate to "Maple Leaf Rag" that some judges considered the strongest of the 1988 Olympics. As pros, Wilson and McCall won a World Pro title and toured with Stars on Ice.

In his honor, Orser worked with McCall's family to hold extensive fundraisers and establish funds to further AIDS-related research. Wilson, who has had international success as a sports broadcaster, has become an AIDS activist and spokeswoman. Rainbow Ice did not initially include McCall as an out gay skater, because although his AIDS-related death on November 15, 1991 was internationally publicized, not a single media outlet mentioned his sexual orientation or even addressed the crude question of "how he got the virus."
