very old question - Bolero

[dariaparadise]

Between Torvill and Dean's legendary "Bolero" in 1984 and Michelle Kwan's "Bolero" at 2005 Worlds, were there any major skater(s) who skated to this music?

I remember I was surprised to see someone else finally having a gut to skate to this music back then, and it was another legendary skater Michelle.

But it is not that I was following amateur figureskating during the 20year period, and I now wonder if my perception then was actually correct or not.

After Michelle, I know other skaters did Bolero, Evan, Miki, and I am sure there are many others.

Thank you for your help on this topic!

Khokhlova and Novitski in I think 2006 for the FD

Plushy did a "Bolero" SP in 2000/2001:

Didn't Stephen Cousins do a version too?

Scott Williams had a long program to Bolero back in the mid-1990s.

I believe Urmanov and Olga Markova had Bolero programs back in the 1990s as well.

ETA: Here's Urmanov's 1992 Olympic original program...

Who could ever forget that?

Between the skintight red velvet , the slightly out-of-place but always delightful ass circle , and the flawlessly brilliant jumps...

(And also it was the first Year of the Mullet!)

Didn't Fumie Suguri and Evan Lysacek also have Bolero programs? (Although both were after Michelle's 2005 program)

The first Bolero program that popped into my head was actually a pro routine, but for the life of me I couldn't remember who the pros were. I looked it up, and it was Leonova and Khvalko at the 2000 World Pros. Haven't seen it in a while, but I remember loving it.

I think Navka and Kostomarov skated to Bolero ca 1999

[SamuraiK]

I can only remember

Navka Kostomarov 1999 (waaay before Michelle and in Ice Dancing!)
Khokhlova Novitski 2006
Chait Sakhnovski 2006
Della Monica Kocon 2009
Evan Lysacek 2009

Thank you so much for your prompt answers, so ok, there were plenty of other skaters who had guts to skate !! After Michelle, I knew there were many, but I was not sure of pre-2005! Interesting for Navka and Kostomarov.

and when I was younger, I was not in a favor of Plushenko and I just didn't watch him all together... (now I found a way to appreciate him )

Oooh, found another. Sasha Abt 2003 Russian Nationals

And pre- Torvill and Dean Min and Mo at 1982 Worlds

Olga Markova in 1997

Alexei Urmanov in 1992

I love that FD. Easily my favorite program from them.

Here's Navka & Kostomarov from 1999, choreographed by Linichuk, I think?

Sarah Meier skated to a different version of Bolero in 2006.

That's the one I was going to add. Very beautiful program to Vanessa Mae's version of bolero !

Fumie Suguri- 06-07 season for the SP. I really liked the program.

Bolero is a type of dance, not a variation on a particular piece of music.

Didn't Evan Lysacek skate an exhibition to Bolero a few years ago? And Miki Ando too.

Bolero was Lysacek's short program during the 2008-2009 competitive season.
