Figure Skating # 1 – Art on Ice
Figure Skating # 1 – Art on Ice
 -- Links Belbin/Agosto Online Official Hompage of Marina Anissina & Gwendal Peizerat Michelle Kwan Fanpage Michelle Kwan Graphics Site Goldenskate Pixieworld Skatingfans.net Ice Champions -- The ice skating season is more or less over and so are the World Championships but it’s definitely not too late to start a thread! So, here it is. I only hope that I’m not alone with my love for figure skating… I’ve been a fan of figure skating ever since I can remember. My favorite female figure skaters would have to be Katharina Witt, Michelle Kwan and Sasha Cohen. As for the male ones I like Stephane Lambiel a lot and I’m glad he won his first WCH gold medal! But my true obsession is ice dancing and along with it, Marina Anissina & Gwendal Peizerat. I first saw them (on tv) in 1997 at the European Championships and have been a fan of theirs ever since! To me, they will always be the best ice dancers on earth. They have always had somewhat unconventional, interesting, moving and emotional programmes and they never failed to impress with new step combinations, components, costumes and music. Well, good things must always come to an end and I was sad when they retired but it’s great to see them together backstage from time to time  Well, I sort of needed a new dancing couple to root for, so all my support now goes out to Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto who were 2nd at this year’s World Championships in Russia. They’re still young and they still have to work hard on their performance but they have huge talent and I’m sure we will see them on 1st place at the WC some time in the next years! So, here are some icons I made… Marina Anissina/Gwendal Peizerat         Michelle Kwan   Feel free to post your arts/icons here! __________________

Hehe, it's okay.
Yeah, she won Olympic Gold. I can't remember the year, though. I think I might have it still on VCR tape somewhere. I might have to dig it up. I really love that Russian couple that was married in real-life, and tragically, he died of a heart condition (I think) on the ice while practicing. They had a little girl, I believe. I can't think of their names right now. __________________

Ooohhh cool, thanks for starting this thread!
I love figure skating too. My favorite skater of all time is Alexei Yagudin. Among the amateur Americans, I like Sasha, Michelle & Johnny W. Quote:
 This is so random but I recently made an animation of Brian Joubert from his matrix program which I like so much. I thought I'd share  Last edited by Jelenbean; 03-21-2005 at 09:23 AM |

 Oh, you also tape the performances/programmes of your fave skaters? I do that, too! I have over 20 tapes here and I currently try to get them all on DVD which is not as easy as I thought  Gordeeva and Grinkov I know that my mom liked them a lot but I cannot remember them... I might have seen them but I wouldn't remember that since I was too young  How old are you guys? I feel like the baby here...Quote:

 Thanks a lot! It's awesome! Do you happen to have other animations? Like of Stephane Lambiel maybe?  __________________

Jebony - I saw your icons on the OTH thread and I'm glad I followed the link on your signature because it brought me here!
I'm glad you started this thread. I thought no one else liked figure skating Dont worry, I think we're the same age! I was around 13/14 back in '97 too. The only reason I know about Gordeeva and Grinkov is because I have the memoir and the video Joubert's the only animation I've got for now. I'll be making more whenever I'm free. I actually havent heard of Lambiel til the Worlds last week. And I didnt get to see it because I dont have cable in my dorm  I definitely have to check him out. I was surprised that he (and Lysacek) beat Plushenko (he was few points behind before he withdrew, right?) and Joubert.Some really great sites: Pixieworld Skatingfans.net Ice Champions - This site is the best! You can download performances of so many diff skaters. |

So, I guess you both probably won't remember the skater, Debbie Thomas? I think that was her name. I think she didn't do well at one Olympic Games and she hasn't been heard from since then. __________________

NikNak I've heard the name before but I don't really know her
Gordeeva is skating solo now. I saw her recently on the Today show. Although I think she sometimes skates in pairs with her new husband. |

Ah, so you've got the memoir. Where did you get/order it? Hm, maybe I should try amazon.com, huh? I'm sure that my mom would love to have it! Oh, well, I saw Lambiel two years ago at the ECH (European Championships) and I knew he had potential and this time, he just took this great opportunity and won I was so proud of him! Some might disagree about this but I think his short program was the best of all in this WCH  and then the long program? AWESOME! Anyhow, I like Joubert a lot, too! I loved his performance at the WCH last year and he really deserved his second place... I actually wanted him to win gold because as you've already mentioned his performance based on "The Matrix" was fantastic! Oh, thanks for posting the links! I will add them to the ones in the opening post! Oh, and the Ice Champions site is really cool!!Oh, and about Gordeeva and Grinkov, here's a link I found: G&G Unofficial website -- I made two wallpapers of Anissina/Peizerat & I hope you like it  800x600  800x600 *sigh* I miss them.... __________________

 You can call me Tara The wallpapers are beautiful! Thanks for sharing them. I checked out your LJ icons too and I like the Andy Roddick and Trory ones! I bought the G&G memoir in Amazon. I got the video in there too. I bought the used ones which were really cheap. (By the way, thanks for posting the link to the site). I noticed you like Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto. I've seen them perform once and I thought they were incredible! Joubert's Matrix program was very creative (I think Alexei Yagudin was still coaching him at that time ). I dont think he has any problem getting the technical merits done but I think he should work more on the artistic aspect of his skating. It seems like he is capable of doing more.If you know of any site where I can watch a performance by Lambiel, could you please send me the link?  I'd really love to see him skate! |

them! They're very young which is just good because watching them is so much fun - you can tell they enjoy dancing/perform together and their programme at the WCH exhibition was so funny! Quote:
