I love Fumie and her determination to stay in this sport for as long as she has. I hope she can pick up her act this season though, because so far it's been pretty rough. Go Fumie! this is beautiful ... By: tinymavy. on 30 Nov 07, 22:48:48 this is beautiful music. I love fumie, but compared to sasha's skate to this music, fumie's is poor. I love Fumie's ... By: StewNWT. on 04 Nov 07, 10:47:54 I love Fumie's skating but this program just does not compare to Mao Asada's, with TWO TRIPLE AXELS!!!! her jump landings were a bit stiff and she has no triple triple combos. best triple lutz though. I agree, she does ... By: SpilledCanvas. on 22 Sep 07, 09:31:00 I agree, she does pay attention to the feel of the music VERY well. and her jumps are often with confidence, but i honestly feel she doesn't hold the land long enough... it's always a rush into the next move. Maybe Sasha had ... By: emule007. on 29 Aug 07, 23:07:27 Maybe Sasha had better spins (i said had because lately shes not that good as she use to be)and another things that are more soft but Fumie isnt that glorify , she had pure emotion in her skate, and the music that she skated is just wonderful lot more original that other skaters, and in Fumies programs always know where the "extreme point is, I mean where the music just tell you where to let go out that passion. In her tires you can see here emotion to have done this great performance. You mean Sasha's ... By: vietgrlterifa. on 02 Aug 07, 22:53:29 You mean Sasha's Rachmaninoff no. 2 back in the 2002-2003 season. That program started out good with good choreography and jump lay-out, but as the season progressed, Sasha started taking a lot of the choreography out and front-loaded her routine with jumps. By 2003 Worlds, Sasha's Rachmaninoff SP was practically empty with almost all of the jumps in the beginning of the routine (with both Lutzes performed back-to-back near the beginning). hmmm...i think ... By: jeniffer3011. on 01 Aug 07, 16:31:13 hmmm...i think sasha cohen´s program is better, she´s more expresive and her jumps and spins are wonderful. Mao had other ... By: tsunamijump. on 30 Jul 07, 07:15:47 Mao had other technical errors.Her 3A-2T combination was counted as a 3A-1T combination and her planned 3L-2L-2L combination became a solo 3L.The combination spin and the flying changing spin were graded level2,and her spiral sequence was graded level1.She was actually 3rd in the free program. Fumie had no technical errors.Her two changing combination spins and spiral sequence were graded level4.And obviously her skating was much better than Mao's.I think Fumie deserved the results. What a shame she ... By: machomaniax. on 19 Jul 07, 14:14:57 What a shame she did not win a medal in Trino. I love her next to Irina but I hate to see that ugly "catch that foot" thing, kinda embarassing. sigh I mean what she got besides that spin she always does in the very end? She can't even perform Biellmann spins. Nonetheless triple-triples. I don't like this; ... By: chopper0. on 11 Jul 07, 12:13:49 I don't like this; she is skating for jumping and jumping and only jumping Maybee coreography prob, but seems like she couldn't take dacing with jumping so she chooses jumping for winning. just move is so concrete, she is just a jumper no dancer, Adasa Mao has huge back up, the other one who one the world class competition got help from Tatiana Tarasova. 2000's figure skating is about backup I watch her ...

By: DDOKU. on 27 Sep 08, 08:57:48 Her edgeworks were very sharp! Agree with you.. ... By: samanthacheng. on 30 Aug 08, 03:27:29 Agree with you.. but except Fumie Yeah when I first ... By: grafgirl27. on 05 Aug 08, 19:00:45 Yeah when I first saw her Olympic program I wondered what the heck her and team were smoking when they put that together. Everyone was saying she was a cinch for the Olympic Gold at that point, but I always thought she would have a hard time winning with that program. Irina's 2005-2006 ... By: USAGymnast. on 03 Aug 08, 03:57:07 Irina's 2005-2006 LP had quite a few gaps. She had a level 1 footwork sequence and very poor choreography. Well Irina had a ... By: grafgirl27. on 18 Jun 08, 18:02:09 Well Irina had a very subpar competition for her, especialy her final LP performance so I would be fine with those too. It was strange to see how Irina looked in Turin. After how she looked in Moscow and the GP events in late 2005 I thought she would be unstoppabled in Turin perhaps, but was far from the case. I agree with all ... By: USAGymnast. on 18 Jun 08, 00:02:15 I agree with all you said except for Fumie and Irina's placements. I would've had Fumie 2nd and Irina 3rd. If mao were just ... By: getmewild. on 07 Jun 08, 13:26:34 If mao were just there.... Sasha has horrible ... By: grafgirl27. on 30 May 08, 06:55:31 Sasha has horrible shallow edges and bad basics which should also be part of the PCS mark, not just how "pretty" your skating is. Compared to Irina, Fumie, and Shizuka her edges and basics are a joke. She also lacks severely in speed and ice coverage. Sasha has small jumps with bad technique would should get 0 or neg. GOE even when she lands them. Combine that with Sashas two falls and I agree with Irina and Fumie being 2nd and 3rd and Sasha 4th. That is how it should have been. The real SP results ... By: russianskatingfan. on 30 May 08, 04:37:58 The real SP results should have been: 1. Arakawa 2. Slutskaya 3. Cohen 4. Suguri (I guess) You are smoking ... By: russianskatingfan. on 30 May 08, 04:36:07 You are smoking crack if you think Fumie deserved to win the SP. Fumie NEVER will beat skaters like Slutskaya, Arakawa, Cohen, or even Kwan if they go clean. She needs them to make mistakes and herself to skate clean or almost clean to have any chance, and even then she might lose. As a techinical ... By: bluesaphirexx18. on 25 May 08, 00:15:15 As a techinical program, with no mistakes, preformed well-considering all of that- she should've been in the medalists. But truly, as a sport that is so artistic more than technical in my opinion, cohen puts her heart and soul into it, and she is the most talented. But this was unfair and perhaps fixed. Cohen was over ... By: driftalot. on 11 May 08, 12:54:47 Cohen was over inflated and over rated by the "media" and the judges, to a point that it was disgusting! Amazing the power of the ____ to give an olympic medal to someone who falls TWICE. Suguri deserved an olympic medal and Cohen didn't. It was a sad day to see such a travisty that the olympics can be fixed like pro boxing. I second your SP ... By: USAGymnast. on 10 Apr 08, 01:39:27 I second your SP results. It's not all about ... By: USAGymnast. on 10 Apr 08, 00:35:16 It's not all about how high you kick your leg up or how flexible you are. Fumie always had much better skating technique than Sasha Cohen. I have to be honest ... By: SkatingPrincess1. on 24 Feb 08, 03:55:24 I have to be honest here... Should havebeen SP results.. 1. Fumie Suguri- JPN 2. Irina Slutskaya - RUS 3. Shizuka Arakawa - JPN 4. Sasha Cohen - USA Well Suguri's spins ... By: fallcolor1. on 01 Feb 08, 00:01:08 Well Suguri's spins were not level 4 and her step sequence was level 2. Also her program was easier's compared to Arakawa and Cohen's. Arakawa must be ahead of her though, and possibly Sasha. 1. suguri 2. ...

By: sixfootpianist7. on 30 Dec 07, 05:49:47 Bronze. Did you see Sasha Cohen's last triple salchow in her free program? With the high kick with her free leg? Fumie can't do that. I agree. I can't ... By: intldawn. on 22 Dec 07, 17:00:19 I agree. I can't accept any logic that leaves Sasha off the podium and Irina in 2nd. Sasha'a artistry is better than anyone's and helped to make up for the mistakes she made at the beginning. But, I still think Fumie got robbed all throughout this competition. I thought this short program was the best and most complete of anyone's other than Sasha, and the judges didn't justly reward her for it. Are you kidding? ... By: sixfootpianist7. on 11 Nov 07, 07:47:48 Are you kidding? Slutskaya had a fall and doubled a planned triple, not to mention the absent triple-triple. Sasha Cohen had a fall and step out on her triple flip. After her opening two jumping passes Sasha put her soul into her program, more than one can say about Slutskaya who landed 4 triples where Sasha held on with 5(the same as Shizuka Arakawa). right By: Mahlerienne. on 04 Nov 07, 22:24:54 right

M&D are two persons ... By: morvandiaux. on 21 Nov 08, 07:04:52 M&D are two persons on the ice also G&G are one on the ice. M&D not correspond for a pair: no feeling, just to execute figures. M&D dont skate as ... By: kristirulesice. on 09 Nov 08, 21:28:30 M&D dont skate as one? That is so wrong. They have outstanding unision, probably slightly behind G/G but better then almost everyone else. They have amazing chemistry on the ice. They flow together with such ease and fluidity throught a program. The way they work together with such great timing in their lifts, throws, spins, death spirals shows how well they work as one. Katia and Sergei ... By: 88centspiece. on 07 Nov 08, 17:10:48 Katia and Sergei were not smooth in all their transitions on that very occasion. EX. the dismount on the star lift and the landing of the throw 2A not to mention Sergei's minor errors. Their errors aren't disruptive and they have great technique, I'll give you that. But honestly, G&G skated that program much better at Skate Canada and the Europeans if you ask me. Either way, I would have hated to be on the judging panel for the 94 pairs event; they both brought something very special to the ice. M&D do not skate as ... By: mbdsfan611. on 03 Nov 08, 13:08:11 M&D do not skate as 1. They skate as 2 singles skating together. My comment below says they are not smooth at all in the transitions. They look like they are skating. G&G are floating and make everything look effortless. No comparison... No artistry?! No ... By: 88centspiece. on 30 Oct 08, 06:57:12 No artistry?! No elegance?! Their style is very different from G&G but this pair is extremely innovative. I would have hate to have been judging this event because how can you judge against either pair. There is a world of difference between G&Gs style and M&Ds but they are VERY artistic and very powerful. Its a pity they don't skate together anymore :-( NOT EVEN CLOSE. M&D ... By: mbdsfan611. on 23 Oct 08, 14:27:53 NOT EVEN CLOSE. M&D have technical difficulty, no artistry. No one compares to G&G. M&D aren't smooth and elegant at all. This is an artistic sport and thankfully, artistry was rewarded. G&G are the best pairs of all time and they only got better the longer they skated. G&G are classically ... By: mbdsfan611. on 16 Oct 08, 20:51:17 G&G are classically beautiful. M&D are not. While this program is technically good, it does not show nearly the classic artistry that G&G did. The turns, lifts, and edges do not have the clean smoothness or elegance that G&G do. G&G are perfection and artistry should win out in figure skating, just as it did in gymnastics this year. perfection is not ...

By: uwoeric. on 23 Sep 08, 00:43:00 I thought the ordinals should have been closer, but I can understand why G&G won. They were more polished overall and everything looked effortless. In the LP it's all about artistry and presentaton. M&D had more difficult technical content, but they also had a few glaring errors, like her two-footing the 2A and his stumble on the footwork. I thought it shoulda been closer, like a 5-4 split maybe, but I would have gone with G&G. It's not all about the tricks. Oh my goodness I ... By: schulz1. on 18 Sep 08, 22:09:12 Oh my goodness I remember it at the time and thinking this is marvellous - I've just watched G and G's performance again which was lovely and then I watched this and it provokes a real emotional response as well as being technically perfect. They were sadly robbed I feel. Agree completely ... By: sagsagleo. on 27 Aug 08, 00:45:55 Agree completely with you. The judges were so enamored that 'lil Katia was coming back and had had a baby!All well and good but Sergei made mistakes in the OP as well as the LP and looked utterly exhausted at the end. Very sorrowful that he died so young...Scott Hamilton's comments didn't help either.G&G skated in his show-Stars On Ice.Every chance he got he referred to them as perfection.Natalia went from being a beautiful in 1992 to"she IS A BIG GIRL,"in 1994.His comments were very one-sided.

They were great, but they did make a few mistakes in their program. M&D were FLAWLESS. This program to me is the greatest pairs program ever, hands down. The choregraphy, drama, passion has never been replicated. Truly extraordinary and exquisite.

By: kitkat9288. on 20 May 08, 05:34:37 I have to think that this decision would've been just like the SLC pairs controversy had the two teams NOT both been Russian.

By: vietgrlterifa. on 06 Sep 06, 04:49:32 I personally felt Sokolova had better choreography than Slutskaya, and it's funny you mention how it's all about being both in artistry and triples jumps in the COP when it's really about just being able to cram as many level 4s as you can. Irina has great jumps when she's on and she's able to Biellman her way to gold. However, Irina strongpoint has never been artistry. First, Irina beats ...

The fact that this is the short program with numerous *required* elements that HAD to be skated, & how well she incorporated them, makes her program even more outstanding.

By: tripleaxel96. on 18 Oct 08, 02:23:31 It was not. 99/2000 was going to be an exciting season as both Anissina & Peizerat and Krylova & Ovsiannikov had chosen Orff's Carmina Burana for their Free Dance Music, but because of injury, K&O had to withdraw from the season. Since the Europeans, the music used here for this Free Dance was remixed to give it more of a danceable melody for the 2nd half in order to enhance and soften K&O's dance, and it worked. It made watching the dance more enjoyable, and I knew they won hands down here. Great Couple For ...

By: ferency98. on 06 Aug 08, 06:54:26 Angelica doesn't seem to have the deep, soft knee bends that her partner has.

By: satisunshinegal. on 25 Jun 08, 04:29:51 Yeah...I'm not overly fond. I thought A & P was better. Sure, this was more difficult, and the footwork was incredible, but it felt kind of, well, empty. At least to me. I don't watch ice dance for the technical content, that's just a bonus. I watch pairs to be wowed by the footwork and lifts, and ice dance to see something that touches my heart, and this didn't do it for me. *shrugs* Quite amazing to watch, I'm still not keen.

By: yl86b4. on 23 Jun 07, 18:36:59 My favorite ice dance team of all time is Anissina & Peizerat. However, I have to say that Krylova & Ovsyannikov beat A&P in this free dance; it was so technically difficult, daring, original, and polished. It's sad that K&O did not get to the 2002 Olympics; that would have been something to see, their rivalry with A&P. To be quite honest, The Man in the Iron Mask is probably my least favorite A&P free dance, and my favorite was Beethoveen's Last Night. Agreed, it was a ... By: voodoo4936. on 20 Feb 07, 05:54:32 Agreed, it was a close call. A/P's skate was phenomenal but K/O's was a bit more technically difficult. I would have been happy with either one winning gold.

By: Darkangel127. on 15 Jan 07, 21:13:08 I guess the last statement partially holds true; Russian pairs used to get awarded for their innovative choreography, but they presented excellent technique as well.

By: ChachouMiaou. on 14 Jan 07, 22:47:52 True, I love A&P but I also thought that this routine was great, and was not recognised as such because of its originality. Unfortunately, I don't think originality made them win, if they had been something else than Russian, they would have lost for sure (strangely enough originality is not always appreciated the same way according to your nationality...) A&P were also original in their own way, even if their romantic routine could be seen as something of a crowd pleaser. Beautiful! I'm ... By: Darkangel127. on 18 Dec 06, 04:27:47 Beautiful! I'm really happy they won, as this was a far riskier program than A&P's, both technically and artistically. They skated faster, had more intricate steps and innovative transitions and in terms of presentation, they were absolutely brilliant!

They need to bring it back, and quickly. It should be like skating though, where there are required elements, but they can compose their own routines that include the elements. You fail to see the ... By: TuesdayPillow. on 18 Jun 08, 02:48:29 You fail to see the impact compulsories had on the sport. It encouraged gymnasts to be graceful, flexible, and precise. If you did not have those qualities - qualities that I think are inherent and the basis for gymnastics - you did not score as well. So you had to develop gymnasts that could be well-rounded, unlike today. I´m glad that there ...

By: dbhmr. on 13 Oct 08, 20:27:02 I'm not saying her routine wasn't difficult, but merely pointing out that it isn't the most difficult ever. The 3 whipbacks are great, but not tremendously difficult--and no longer rewarded in the same way by the COP, so people wouldn't do that anymore. But Shannon Miller did 3 whips to a double twist punch front, and I believe Jennie Thompson did 3 whips to a triple full (certainly more difficult than a tucked double back). Kim was a great tumbler though, no argument with that here. Bro, please....At ... By: Chareb94. on 12 Oct 08, 02:52:34 Bro, please....At the time Kim was the *ONLY* gymnast male or female that could do (3) whipbacks in a row....Not only did she do them, she did them FLAWLESSLY. That's the *ONLY* worldwide gymnast! She stuck her thumb to nose to Olympic shit judges playing Rock n Roll That is crazy. ... By: muffycat26. on 22 Sep 08, 00:07:09 That is crazy. Nobody was going to beat the Unified Team in 1996. In fact the only event Kim could have done better in the team competition was compulsory beam and even a 10 from her there (which she wouldnt have gotten) would not have been enough to make up the points on Romania for the team silver. The U.S team in 92 was a very good team but bronze was their place unless as a team they overall performed a bit better to maybe get silver. Yes, you are right. ... By: todosobretodo. on 17 Sep 08, 17:17:36 Yes, you are right. Other Americans have thrown more difficult routines since, but her tumbling here is still some of the very best. The routine was ... By: dbhmr. on 17 Sep 08, 16:20:50 The routine was great, but it is certainly not "the most difficult floor routine any American has ever thrown." It was certainly the most difficult that year, but gymnasts like Dawes, Miller, Atler, Maloney, Dantzscher, Johnson, Liukin, Memmel, etc. have thrown far more difficult ones since (esp. since there were no real intricate dance elements). what if she was ...

By: greyserf. on 25 Jun 08, 23:32:21 That sentiment really doesn't make sense. If Bela didn't want Kim taking risks, she would never have competed much less trained the double layout at all.

By: greyserf. on 25 Jun 08, 23:26:18 True, but most who've copied it do it into a double twist. I don't believe anyone's done it into a double back as Kim did. Really? Ugh, that's ...

Those girls were SO malnourished and thin it's heartbreaking to see. All the gymnasts under Bela's coaching were too thin. That was the way it was done in Romania. Proper muscle building nurtrition was not a priority. He continued that regime in America. Nadia herself had food issues b/c she had only learned to starve under Bela.

By: mlc2005. on 25 Oct 08, 04:09:55 I agree with a lot of what you said; however, she doesnt "always" get stiff in competition.

By: ants2876. on 05 Aug 08, 00:37:38 She always gets so stiff under the pressure of competition. I dont see her practices but I imagine she is a skater who looks alot better in practice then comeptition. She also tends to skate much stronger in short programs then long. She does many clean and agressive shorts, but ver rarely does she do the same in the long.

By: rfillangi. on 16 May 08, 23:46:03 She had a tough draw in the SP. She was the first skater up. And still she managed to place 3rd in the short.

By: frostdiamond1. on 11 Apr 08, 17:39:28 She had a pretty program and a lovely costume, but compared to Lu Chen's Butterfly Lovers...it just paled.
