FSU Watch Party: Sunday, April 5, 2020 1pm CDT/2pm EST/7pm UTC - 1995 World Figure Skating Championships Ladies Long Program

[VGThuy]

5.9 from Austria? Did that check cash?

 

[VGThuy]

I’m gonna be real with you guys, I never feel anything deep with Bobek’s skating. At best, I admire her power, spring, and showmanship, but I forget what I saw soon after.

 

[alchemy void]

Bobek's charisma is off the charts.

 

[alchemy void]

Oh yikes, she fell twice?

[VGThuy]

I always loved seeing the rest of Team USA watching so close to the ice at this Worlds. It was like World Team Trophy or the team comp.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

Bobek's charisma is off the charts.

I was just thinking this was one of her least charismatic skates. She definitely had it in spades at other times.

 

[alchemy void]

Bobek: 5.5/5.8

I'm totally a Nicole fanboi.

Bobek's lutz edge is nothing to write home about , but that 3/3 rotation could surive in COP very well.

Thar Lutz was a straight up Flip.

 

[VGThuy]

Chen’s spins were never better than they were at this competition.

 

[VGThuy]

This Toller Cranston choreography gives me life. That’s such a brilliant middle section.

 

[skateboy]

3Loop was always Nicole's nemesis jump, but it's ironic that it was the only triple (I think) that she landed in her LP at the Nagano Olympics.

This program was better than I'd remembered.

 

[alchemy void]

This is a brilliant program. Did Bezic do this? Gorgeous.

 

[Kateri]

WOW!!! I'd never watched this. Chen was FABULOUS!

 

[VGThuy]

This is a brilliant program. Did Bezic do this? Gorgeous.

Toller Cranston did this program. Bezic did her equally brilliant Rach and Butterfly Lovers.

 

[alchemy void]

Stunning program. Holy shit.

I want to rewatch it immediately and soak up all the details in the choreography.

 

[VGThuy]

WOW!!! I'd never watched this. Chen was FABULOUS!

I’m so happy you were able to finally see it and with all of us. I wish I could watch it for the first time again.

 

[Amy L]

Chen's later career dresses were amazing, and would pretty much all hold up today as well. Was this a Jef Billings creation?

 

[alchemy void]

Chen Lu: 5.7/6.0

 

[alchemy void]

Third place ordinal from Austria!?!

What. The. Fck.

 

[VGThuy]

Austria is smoking crack with putting Chen in third and having Markova ahead in presentation.

 

[VGThuy]

I’m gonna be real with you guys again...this is my favorite Bonaly competitive era performance.

 

[Kateri]

OK, Bonaly wins the GLAMOUR contest though. She looks incredible.

 

[jlai]

I'm not sure Lu's rotations would survive in cop

 

[casken]

Watching this I feel like the current judging system would have eaten Chen and Bonaly's program's apart. A lot of those landings are

 

[alchemy void]

I really like this program from Surya, but the last minute starts to drag.

Too many URs and two foots here, even for 95 standards.

 

[skateboy]

Surya is skating so much for the audience! (And she has the same birthday as Jason Brown, by the way... which is my birthday also. )

 

[Vagabond]

I’m gonna be real with you guys again...this is my favorite Bonaly competitive era performance.

This and her 1994 Olympic Short Program were the pinnacles, but Chen was rightly placed first here.
