Are we already on video 3? I started late but thought I had FFed enough through Wing/Lowe to catch up.

Yeah 1 minute into Silverstein now

 

[Jeschke]

Never heard of this US dance team!

 

[rfisher]

I was so traumatized by Kwan's withdrawal, I didn't watch skating for a whole day back then. But, I got over it.

 

[skipaway]

I didn’t know that about twizzle entrances!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I actually remember Jamie Silverstein making the Olympic team! It's so weird what I remember from back then.

 

[Jeschke]

I was so traumatized by Kwan's withdrawal, I didn't watch skating for a whole day back then. But, I got over it.

Oh the mistery around her programs.

 

[Erin]

Ugh, I forgot Dick Button did commentary at this event.

 

[Hanna]

OMG La Khokh is legend The handbag lift wheeeeeee

 

[Colonel Green]

Tracy: "This, of course, a rhumba."

Uh, yeah, I totally knew that.

 

[Aerobicidal]

I always thought Davis and White's JLo program was the nadir for U.S. teams attempting Latin, but this is SIGNIFICANTLY worse.

 

[Jeschke]

OMG La Khokh is legend The handbag lift wheeeeeee

How far behind are u my dear?
US team just finished.

 

[skipaway]

Never heard of this US dance team!

Jamie Silverstein was so good, thought she and her partner would go far

US commentators

 

[mjb52]

Her comeback was amazing. Really incredible that she got to this Olympics.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I think we were better off with the watch2gether app.

 

[her grace]

Silverstein/O'Meara

-Silverstein is still as over the top as I remember, she reminded me of a baby Krylova back in the day
-this program looks disjointed to me
-twizzles that were actually twizzles

Trivia:
Remember that Manon/O'Meara were presumptively going to get the Olympic spot, but then Manon dumped O'Meara to skate with her boyfriend. Then O'Meara got Silverstein as his partner and he's the one that ended up better off and at the Olympics.

 

[Jeschke]

Video 4 now!

 

[Colonel Green]

Ah, the days when you could be off ice for years and debut a new partnership and make the US Olympic team in that same season.

 

[Barbara Manatee]

Dick Button getting hip with the kids.

 

[rfisher]

I swear to God Dick was drinking the entire time.

 

[alchemy void]

Zueva has had the same haircut for how many years?

 

[Kateri]

OMG La Khokh is legend The handbag lift wheeeeeee

She was queen of the Pornographic Handbag!

 

[Aerobicidal]

Zueva looks 40 years younger when she was 14 years younger.

 

[Jeschke]

Dress

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Wow. The top half of this dress sure does look like about 3 bandaids...

 

[mjb52]

Shpilband and Zueva aging in reverse.

 

[Vagabond]

I love the seamless transition of Zoueva and Shpilband as a coaching team to "They're not husband and wife."

 

[Jeschke]

She was queen of the Pornographic Handbag!

That's exactly what @Hanna wanted to say!

 

[alchemy void]

I think we were better off with the watch2gether app.

Can't use it for this one because many of the vids are blocked outside of youtube by IOC.
