Thanks to all who shared links. I am so enjoying watching these bits of skating history. my main observation in pairs is that side by side spins in good unison have really gotten much more rare, and twists have gotten sooooo much higher! And I had forgotten how much the audience disliked the...

I don’t know how to post a link, but am seeing engagement photos on Lubov’s Instagram! So happy for her!

All good questions. As a professional musician I don’t like what allowing lyrics has done to competitive programs. Am sick of GFB’s! If the music can’t stand on its own merits, I don’t think it should be used.

Kaori’s Bach a la Jazz program begins with the slow movement from Marcello’s Oboe Concerto, then proceeds to Bach’s C minor Prelude from WTC Book 1. Lovely program for her!

Stellato:Bartholomay??? Might wanna double check that.

Such incredible musicality!

I wish Robin and Vanessa could join for some professional skating! Why not?

Thanks, Sylvia! I enjoyed that.

I may or may not have cried watching Mariah’s freeskate again!!

how about a set of 'unique music' programs? Such as pieces that only one skater (on the elite level) has used in competition? For example---Rippon & Barber's Violin Concerto or Kwan & Bartok's Miraculous Mandarin. I'm sure others will think of more. Those are just two of my personal faves.

loved Ruh!

perhaps this skater from BLR is who Zagitova wanted to be like. They both pump their backs similarly on crossovers!

I don't remember this skater from the Netherlands at all. Hmm....in 1995 I would have been caring for a 6 month old, and also had kids 5 and 7 years old. No wonder I barely remember!

I will likely join after the first hour.

I can't remember...did they compete in the FreeDance?
