When I first watched this performance, I literally said 'what the....' at that moment.
No matter who does it, this position looks so ugly I think.

This move was not on the first version of this program. I love this program, but I agree with you, this move is ugly and I really don't understand why she added it !

This entire exhibition program from Kira Ivanova is a big ole WTF.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the "hand-wiggle" thing Tim Goebel did in his LP in 2005-2006: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URMInqJU3bw - at 1:54.

Someone had to mention her memorable World Pro's program. The whole program is a train wreck, but this part is so and

I see your Carolina-Lori squat, and raise you this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKCaW...ailpage#t=172s

Eventually that bit was dropped from Mirai's program but it seems as though she found a way to reinsert the squat in Carolina's program...what is it with Lori and squatting? The only effective one I've seen her use was in Michelle's Red Violin footwork sequence but that was a pretty spread eagle move...the squat she gave Mirai and Carolina was like, "well, there's the hole in the ground I gotta use..."

[Geh]

Bad music cut, bad gestures, and the hand mouvement at 4:15...

OMG ! I can see a bumblebee on the ice !

I can't remember which year this was, but I loved when Chenjiang Li made the devil horns on his forehead with his fingers. Was this in the Star Wars LP?

Yes! Loved that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...q-UdYw0#t=201s

Plushy after Lysacek wins the gold, nooooooooo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQGTG...ailpage#t=333s

This is not really a WTF, because it makes perfect sense if you've played Super Mario Bros: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...YUpQ1vw#t=136s

Sandhu has done SYTYCD, why not Canadian Idol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...CfHN1OpI#t=94s

Why is there no Leonova in this thread!?!? I thought she'd be cited by the 3rd post at least. I need to do some for her.

I don't mind Mirai's squat because her music is very energetic that requires a lot of sharp movement to match, so one of those placed in the rowdy Pirate of the Carribean isn't nearly as weird as with Carolina in the middle of her lyrical piano piece.

Domnina and Shabalin's 2010 OD

Leonova's greatest WTF moments:

Morozov says work it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iais8...ailpage#t=123s

Mean girl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...FPbPbkQk#t=81s

Milking her boob http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...Hqmqdvw#t=123s

My arm has a mind of its own http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo0Yc...tailpage#t=58s

Well, that was exhausting, how am I ever to get through this footwork: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdCjr...ailpage#t=187s

[kwanette]

Or at whom?

Robin, for giving her such God-awful choreography?

Her make-up artist which is why she keeps putting her hands up over her face?

Michelle Kwan, for returning after the 02 Oly?

Herself for returning after the 02 OLY? Is that why early in the season there were butt-slaps? (by worlds turned into gentle butt massages)

I wish I could find the Skate Canada version, which was even more dramatic, but Laetitia Hubert's seizure at the end of her "Hooker on Crack" program is my absolute favorite of all time.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...8Clf_h0#t=243s

I just die every time I watch it! (There are some funny falls in this program, too.)

That was a weird season in general. Also featured Schwarz and Mueller, who had a domestic violence theme program with an abuse scene at the end.

Worst not-funny example was Tatiana Malinina's Aladdin program. That she then recycled and set to Malaguena. I remember watching with a non-skating friend, who asked "why is she doing Egyptian arm movements to Spanish music?" And the judges gave both of those programs 5.8s and 5.9s.... Girl was nothing but a big triple lutz if you ask me.

You owe me a new keyboard

Was it choreographed?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OeEPKvOqN8#t=2m48s

Definitely not choreographed, but the violin glissando fits so well...

The beginning of this LP by Carolina Kostner reminds me of first having to pee and then galloping on a horse.

^^ Very funny description. I hope Carolina continues skating. Watching these clips really highlights how much she has improved.

I have always wondered whether this ending was planned, or accidental.

Sasha Cohen - Romeo & Juliet Marshalls 2005 Has she ever said?
