Ice Skating (Mother's Day): Third annual three-hour ice-skating invitational TV special where all
the performing ice skaters are mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and great-great-grandmothers from around the world who have won Olympic gold, silver or bronze; performances are not judged; it is televised live during prime-time on the Eastern and Central time zones on a US broadcast or cable TV network on Mother’s Day. Each year it must be held at a different US city and cannot return to the same city within the same century.
