OMG this commentary

[meggonzo]

Eat it, Lloyd!

 

[Vagabond]

Marks announced while the skaters are still on the ice?

 

[VGThuy]

What is with this drama with this commentary? As if they were on the same level of M/D.

 

[Aerobicidal]

This might be the score to that Tonya Harding movie where she had a martial arts fight scene.

If anyone wants to end their evening with a full-length martial arts movie starring a woman who looks a bit sort of vaguely like Tonya, you can see it on youtube.

[Immortelle]

The tights! The tights!!!

 

[VGThuy]

They skated this even better at 1992 Worlds as their lines matched more.

 

[VGThuy]

Every time I watch him in his prime or Oleg, I’m always surprised at how they aged. Goes to show you to not marry just for looks or figure skating worship.

 

[VGThuy]

Imo, the most beautiful pairs routine of all time.

 

[aliceanne]

If I ever refer to Bechke/Petrov again, I'm referring to them as Becker/Peyton.

It made sense to my phone.

 

[Vagabond]

MEEPOTS!!!!

 

[rfisher]

I'd have gone with M/D even if Eisler hadn't popped the axel. That was a beautiful program.

 

[VGThuy]

Were people really convinced back then that B/E were on THAT level? Like seriously? What were they smoking?

 

[mjb52]

As good as it gets.

 

[Vagabond]

Were people really convinced back then that B/E were on THAT level? Like seriously? What were they smoking?

Poutine.

 

[Immortelle]

Criminally under marked

 

[VGThuy]

This is the most nationalistic commentary I’ve ever heard and I’m counting the time Irina Rodnina cheered openly and loudly when B/S won 2002.

 

[alchemy void]

I really liked B/E's long program, but M/D are obviously on a completely different level. Stunning program, and the tech is still competitive 30 years later.

 

[VGThuy]

Lloyd is so douchey.

 

[rfisher]

He is the role model for jerks the world over.

 

[VGThuy]

Yay, the blues!!!

 

[Sonata]

The Canadian had amazing technical content but I choked a little when the commentators said their artistic mark should go up !

I’m having bad memories of how B and E would always say “no one can take this away from us” and how annoying and defensive that was.

Just remembering that M and D’s program was one of the first time I realized how skating moves could be art.

 

[VGThuy]

This is my favorite ice dance team of all time.

 

[alchemy void]

BTW I made an executive decision and chacked the CDs from this playlist.

 

[aliceanne]

Lloyd shouldn’t have played hockey before Worlds.

K/P. Draaama!

 

[mjb52]

Husband and wife!

MADONNA VIDEO

90’s Ice Dance. Sigh we’ll never have that again.
