FSU Watch Party Sunday #1: 1991 Worlds part 2 [12pm CDT/6pm CET]

Wearing leggings with a dress screams early 90’s

 

[alchemy void]

I keep thinking this took place in Canada

 

[alchemy void]

Imaging going to a concert and listening to a group of old Russian men perform instrumental ABBA. I'm sure that's what an evening with Nina Mozer is like.

No Christina Aguilera instrumentals?

 

[VGThuy]

She looks like Olivia Newton John in the Physical video.

 

[Erin]

I’m sad that this didn’t include Kovarikova and Novotny. They were the highlight of the SP and totally robbed.

 

[VGThuy]

Whoa, second night of prime time coverage.

 

[Aerobicidal]

Underhill has all the charisma of a limp bowl of poutine.

 

[rfisher]

Barb and Paul in formal wear. A small child named Johnny is crying and clutching his teddy just thinking about it.

 

[aliceanne]

Why is Paul looking at Barb like he’s never seen her before?

 

[alchemy void]

Is Slipchuk's shirt pleather? Another good music choice.

 

[VGThuy]

Slipchuck saying he’s Canada’s good luck charm because a Canadian’s won Worlds every time he competed? Yeah, I’m sure it was him...

I guess that’s one way to politick your way onto the World and Olympic team.

 

[alchemy void]

I've already had enough Barb and Paul for the evening.

Slipchuck saying he’s Canada’s good luck charm because a Canadian’s won Worlds every time he competed? Yeah, I’m sure it was him...

I guess that’s one way to politick your way onto the World and Olympic team.

The theory also fell apart in 1992.

Am I the only one seeing Petrenko?

 

[alchemy void]

Woah, that was an awesome 3A3T. I feel like I'd always see him do 3A2T.

 

[VGThuy]

I really do see Viktor Petrenko’s appeal.

 

[alchemy void]

Am I the only one seeing Petrenko?

Nope. You're good.

 

[Immortelle]

PETRENKO!!!!

 

[rfisher]

The height Petrenko got on his jumps was superb.

 

[mjb52]

I thought that was awesome. @VGThuy what you said is what I also tried to express on some pbp thread recently - I think the programs are more complex and interesting now but I feel like the best skaters of this era had such star quality and dynamism, and sometimes I miss that. I don't blame today's skaters, I think the system is making it hard.

 

[alchemy void]

Damn Kurt!

 

[mjb52]

oh Chris

 

[meggonzo]

Kurt's sit spins were so terrible

The programs are emptier, but there is more glide which is a unique quality of skating.

 

[rfisher]

I may not complain about Tara and Johnny after listening to Barb and Paul.

 

[alchemy void]

I wonder if Kurt still wears this outfit for Alissa every now and then?

 

[VGThuy]

I’m sad I have to take a break to prepare dinner and such. I’ll be back as soon as I can.

 

[meggonzo]

Did anyone else ever do a mohawk into their flip instead of a 3-turn.

I agree. I hope we can balance it out a little bit more in the future.

Am up on iPad! Wow, the crowd is very young looking.
