One day after winning a historic gold medal in ice dancing with his partner Meryl Davis, Charlie White was giving another pressure-packed, live performance in front of the cameras. This time, he traded skates for strings.

White had promised Today‘s Savannah Guthrie he’d play violin if he took home the gold. He honored that promise on Tuesday.

“You nailed it,” Matt Lauer lied, but that’s okay because White said it was the first time he had played the violin in three years. To play that well in front of a national television audience is an impressive feat. Not twizzle impressive, but impressive nonetheless.

“I think I may have been more nervous for that,” White said after triumphantly raising his arms in the air.
