Friday watch party: 1999 Worlds SP

Still can't believe Hughes competed at 13, that's crazy!

She was a big girl for 13 though. But her baby face gives away her young age.

They allowed all kinds of stuff back then. It's all so very dated and kitschy. :watch:


Fumie "My Heart Will Go On... And On" Suguri!

Are those Yuka's parents with Suguri in the kiss 'n cry?
 
Did you guys know Michelle Kwan taught Fumie Suguri the triple Lutz when Kwan was competing at 1994 Worlds and was practicing at a rink there and was helping Fumie out (who wasn't competing at Worlds).
I did! Did you know Fumie came out as bisexual in 2014, making her part of a very short list of out female skaters?
 
Fontana has real presence and knows how to portray a character, I will give her that. A lot of ice dancers this season needed to learn that for the Broadway-themed SDs this past season.
 
Fontana was/is beautiful, but that was about it and she totally cheated Vale out of going to the Olympics.

Eh, Fontana is no better or worse than some of these ladies from a few countries back then. Just sayin' ...

No one 'cheats' another athlete out of going anywhere. :drama:

ITA that at least Fontana had presence and knew how to perform, even if her skating talent wasn't the best.
 
It was Zimmerman... First Yagudin appears to be a total jerk, then Zimmerman.... How will a girl live it through?
 
Wow, they're really being snarky about Fontana being American representing Italy even though she was raised in Rome...
 
"Those marks are horrible". Well, I actually thought they were quite generous. Her SS isn't all that either....
 
Wow, they're really being snarky about Fontana being American representing Italy even though she was raised in Rome...
They made remarks about how Nikodinov, who was born in Spartanburg, S.C., was "representing the U.S. now." :wall:
