"Bowman the Showman," a former child actor, improvised routines at the last minute, winked at the cameras and flirted with female fans. He won the men's nationals in 1989 and '92, but his fights with coaches and off-rink habits?drinking, cocaine, women?began to overshadow his talent. At the time of his death from unknown causes...
