Kurt Browning CM (born June 18, 1966) is a Canadian figure skater, choreographer and commentator.

[2] He earned the privilege of carrying the Canadian flag during the opening ceremonies of the 1994 games in Lillehammer, Norway.

[citation needed] On March 25, 1988, at the 1988 World Championships in Budapest, Hungary, Browning landed the first ratified quadruple jump, a toe loop in the competition.

Jozef Sabovčík had previously landed a quad toe loop at the 1986 European Championships which was recognized at the event but then ruled invalid three weeks later.

[7] He also raised his fists "in a biceps-flexing muscle pose"[7] and included humor by emulating laughter with upper body movements, skated in time to descending saxophone notes and by pointing to the audience during his footwork sequence.

[8] As figure skating historian James R. Hines has stated, "Browning is remembered for outstanding interpretative programs".

[2] For example, Hines calls Browning's free skating program in 1993, set to music from the film Casablanca and choreographed by Sandra Bezic, "is most memorable".

[2] One of Browning's iconic programs is "Singin' in the Rain", where he emulates Gene Kelly's dancing in the film.

Choreographed by Bezic[9] and debuted in a CBC-TV special in 1994,[10] this program is still asked to be performed at ice shows after 20 years.
