|  HU-MONGOID FS FAN!I have tons and tons of skating coverage. Though I've begun wittling them down now, as I don't want my room wall to wall full of VHS tapes   My current fav skaters I'm obsessed with are: Fumie Sugari Virtue & Moir (ice dance CDN) Jeffery Buttle Stavitski & .... (oooh bad I forget the name - ice dancers from Bulgaria) Shen & Zhao Irina Slutskya And there are always the standards as a Canadian goes: Kurt Browning - uh duuuuh Brasseur & Eisler Bourne & Kraatz Sale & Pelletier And then the oldies: Ponemerenko & Klimova Gordeeva & Grinkov Kristi Yamaguchi Yuka Sato I go for those who are pure skaters. Who know their edges and are pure artists on ice. I've never been big on flash or pomp and ceremony. Admittedly I didn't like Gordeeva and Grinkov - too much Canadianism I guess  - but when he died...My heart broke for Katia. I have both her book and the video of the book 'My Sergei'Theirs is a story that is what fairy tales are made of.... | |||

 It's great to see you here!Quote:
I guess I could be described as your opposite here then because I like "flashy" performances - the bigger the better Since music is such a big part of a programme, I like skaters who pick songs from movies or musicals like Michelle Kwan often does - from my point of view, she has one of the best taste in music I also liked Irina at this year's WCH - she was absolutely perfect in ALL programmes! I even loved her short programme (which I usually don't). And her cat suit -->  __________________ Giving up doesn't mean you're weak.

| Moderator Support Team | I remember one of Kristi's programs and she skated to "Unbelievable" (I think that's the name of the song, I forgot who sung it). It was one of her best performances! __________________ "...but I still like to think there is something about Pacey and me that no one can ever quite touch." | |||

| Gladiator & Man in the Iron Mask are my favorites Another one I enjoy the most was Racing from SOI. It perfectly suits his personality as a fast skater.Last edited by Jelenbean : 03-24-2005 at 11:53 AM. | |||

As far as ice dance goes, I d Tanith and Ben! They had the BEST performance! I was really happy for them even though they didn't win gold *shrugs* they will soon, I know that And I liked Stephane Lambiel - he deserved to be #1! He has worked a lot on his step combinations, plus: great music!! So, how come you weren't impressed? *lol*  __________________ Giving up doesn't mean you're weak.

| The preformances you mentinoed were good esp Lambiel and Kwan. I'm a huge fan of her You mentinoned most of the highlights. What about the other preformances? Lots of skaters could have been better (and were already better on ice). The bunch of great preformances. It's hard to explaine I guess The Olymic Games will rock  Everysone is training so hard... Olymic gold medal still counts more than being world champion.__________________ Bring back to life the Lord of the Rings board Read the Kate Daniels Series & join the CampaignJOIN the CAMPAIGN NOW, get your name added to the supporter list & vote in January | |||

| I love figure skating, I just never come to this board so I never knew about this thread (I followed the link in Jebony's sig -- beautiful wps, by the way, I really love the 2nd one). I always wished I'd taken lessons when I was younger. Now I think it's a little too late. My favorite female figure skaters are Sasha Cohen (USA) and Oksana Baiul (Ukraine). Male figure skaters -- Scott Hamilton (USA) and Viktor Petrenko (Ukraine). I don't know what it is about the US and Ukraine. Here's an old Sasha wp I made:  800 __________________ + Susan "In the end, my whole body is my story." | |||
