FSU Watch Party Saturday 4/4 - 1995 Worlds ladies SP [12pm CDT / 7pm CET]

[Vagabond]

1995 Worlds reminds me of 2020 Worlds. Still now video here.

 

[Aceon6]

No combo for Slute. This is probably the last worlds where she missed anything major.

1997 Worlds SP, 1998 Worlds SP

 

[Aceon6]

1997 Worlds SP

Duh. Blocked that one.

 

[meggonzo]

1997 Worlds SP, 1998 Worlds SP

Plus an epic lutz splat in 1996, despite winning the bronze.

 

[aliceanne]

These Japanese ladies seem so polished compared to Suguri and Onda

 

[Vagabond]

Watching on YouTube. Why isn't Arrowsmith skating to Aerosmith?

 

[meggonzo]

I'm just starting Hubert.

 

[aliceanne]

I’m still on Slute

 

[Aceon6]

I'm being forced off the only computer with a camera. DH has a Zoom shortly. I'll keep watching YouTube and possibly join back in once I'm settled in a new spot.

95 World’s is way more important.

 

[SpeedySucks]

1997 Worlds SP, 1998 Worlds SP

And 1998 Olympics SP

 

[Kateri]

I'm on Hubert -Chris and Simon talking about how she just left coach Gilles Beyer, and she's suddenly skating SO much better and happier.

Yeah.

 

[jennysk8oboe]

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!

 

[ross_hy]

This competition is definitely helping me to remember how bad mid-90s music was!

Yeah.

so much explained in hindsight

 

[her grace]

What skater are you on? I'll try to jump in for a little bit

 

[Erin]

And 1998 Olympics SP

Yeah...not to mention her 9th place in 2004 when her health wasn’t good and her 2006 Olympic LP. I figured I didn’t need to be inclusive though.

Watching Surya and I’m already ready to wuzrob for Michelle.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I'm on Surya Bonaly

 

[skipaway]

The Kween is next!

 

[her grace]

I do like these profile boxes that explain where the skater finished at last year's worlds and Euros. Would give more context if used in today's broadcasts

 

[aliceanne]

Suzanne Bonaly and Candeloro!

 

[her grace]

This is definitely pre-transformation Kwan. Hard to believe that the same skater did the Salome program just one season later. What progress she made!

 

[meggonzo]

Boo to the judging!!!

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Welcome Exhibit A in realizing senior jumps do not equal senior everything else in skating. Good times.

 

[her grace]

Very nice spiral sequence. I kinda miss those.

Karen Chen's the only person I can think of who has done a notable spiral recently.

 

[jennysk8oboe]

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

 

[her grace]

"A name for the future" Nikitochkina Um, no.

 

[meggonzo]

The Austrian judge was not a fan.

 

[skipaway]

Interesting discussion of flutzing circa 95
