Shawn Phillips Music at the 2022 Winter Olympics

Japanese Pairs Figure Skaters Skate to WOMAN by Shawn Phillips

Their program starts in 2:30. This is the same program used this week at the 2022 Winter Olympics - specifically the Team Event. Afterwards commentator/prior champion Johnny Weir declared that it was perfect music for the program.

Fans of Shawn know this song by the title listed on the record jacket: "She Was Waitin’ For Her Mother At The Station In Torino And You Know I Love You Baby But It’s Getting Too Heavy To Laugh" from the album: Second Contribution.

Oddly enough this song has a history of being used for figure skating...
