Omg wtf re the British judge

 

[meggonzo]

They're going to have a great package

 

[Erin]

Omg wtf re the British judge

If it was Vanessa Reilly, that explains everything.

 

[meggonzo]

I did enjoy Barb snarking on herself comparing this to their performance in Sarajevo.

 

[mjb52]

Did he end up skating with someone else?

 

[VGThuy]

When skaters didn’t have to worry about levels and transitions and were allowed to skate on flats more, they weren’t afraid to skate to fast tempo bombastic music.

 

[Vagabond]

Obskur Canadian skaters

 

[alchemy void]

Ooooh love the throw 2A into sbs 2A. Very Ina/Dungjen.

 

[VGThuy]

Is he Timothy Dalton as James Bond and she’s one of the Bond girls from those movies?

 

[alchemy void]

Why so few music cuts?

 

[mjb52]

I just got into a more comfortable seated position the better to gaze rapturously at the screen for M&D.

 

[VGThuy]

Omg when commentators noticed things like unison and coordination with one’s partner.

 

[Vagabond]

Is he Timothy Dalton as James Bond and she’s one of the Bond girls from those movies?

That's music from the David Niven Casino Royale.

 

[alchemy void]

Did he end up skating with someone else?

Yup. With Michelle Menzies, top 10 at Worlds a few times in the mid 90s.

 

[rfisher]

Lubov would have been so good in this era.

Panfilova would have been an Olympic GM

 

[Sonata]

I forgot how many female skaters wore short bobs back then. I keep thinking I’m watching Elizabeth Manley.

There’s like no eye contact between Ball and Bombardier.

 

[Aerobicidal]

"Natasha Kachicky"

 

[VGThuy]

A team consisting of a Stacey and a Jean-Michel? That sounds so Canadian.

 

[aliceanne]

Bombardier was married to Ball? Wasn’t he also married to Josee Chouinard?

 

[rfisher]

So Sand was even creepier back then. NotJenny was only 14.

 

[VGThuy]

Was there drama when Todd left Natasha for Jenni later on?

 

[Vagabond]

So Sand was even creepier back then. NotJenny was only 14.

That was the era of "gorilla-flea" pairs. Sand was hardly alone.

 

[Aerobicidal]

Was there drama when Todd left Natasha for Jenni later on?

Natasha stole Todd's extra-stiff hair products and, to get revenge, he killed her and buried her under his shed.

 

[alchemy void]

BTW, quick programming note: we'll do the first half tonight --finishing pairs LP and dance OD.

And then the second half tomorrow afternoon.

If you think about it, the whole Sand/Kuchiki/Meno situation is like an inverse of the Bates/Chock/Samuelson situation for a few reasons.

 

[Sonata]

I forgot that this is the worlds where M and D skate to Liebestraum. I was obsessed with that program

Almost 30 years later, I’m getting upset again that K and S split so he could skate with Meno.

 

[meggonzo]

Was there drama when Todd left Natasha for Jenni later on?

I feel like there was a lot of drama in 93 and 94 with partner swapping. I think Natasha skated with Rocky Marval at one point.

 

[VGThuy]

I just remembered that Denis Petrov married Lu Chen and have two kids with her.

 

[Immortelle]

What is this music???
