I had seen Barna who was shown on French TV. I preferred his Mozart short at 1989 Europeans with the new rules of a solo triple and beefed up content of 3z/3t. That was such a wonderful performance. I thought Cameron Medhurst was undermarked in the short compared to Paterson, the third Canadian guy definitely. What was wonderful was watching so many skaters I had forgotten about and who we used to get to see once in a blue moon on European broadcasts like Lars Dresler, Oliver Hoener, Axel Mederic etc. Interesting how diverse everyone was although some of the music choices and edits especially in the short were quintessential 80's coughPaulWyliecough.
I thought Cameron was undermarked as well. Glad to see him shoot up in the rankings a month later at the world championships and place eleventh.
 
i’m just watching the youth olympics the women’s and who is this Kate Wang? Lots of potential. she was underscored lol .
 
Thanks to all who shared links. I am so enjoying watching these bits of skating history. my main observation in pairs is that side by side spins in good unison have really gotten much more rare, and twists have gotten sooooo much higher! And I had forgotten how much the audience disliked the scores for the Zhangs in the short program in 2002!

Is there any way these competitions can be downloaded? You can download stuff from their Youtube channel, but I can't figure out how to get stuff off the Olympic Channel itself. If anybody knows how to do this, please let me know!
 
The Olympic Channel now has a 24/7 figure skating channel


Just check the 'OLYMPIC CHANNEL ON ICE' Tab and voila! right now the full Women Short Program from Nagano

Later... Ladies Short Program from Lillehammer '94

That's why I started this very thread 2 month ago. :D

1994 Lillehammer Women's SP is scheduled to start at 17:45 Eastern today (Feb. 2).

Re-posting here from #TTW:
I just found that the Olympic Channel has the 2010 Olympic ladies' event up on its website. Finally! For some reason these videos weren't on their official YouTube channel (unlike the other three disciplines), and most of the programs are hard to find in any quality these days.

Is this also on traditional TV...or only streaming? As you know, Olympic Channel HD is on traditional cable TV, eg, Comcast 822 in some areas.

Come to think about it, This might be accessed on Peacock too? Comcast-Peacock-OlympicChannel-NBC all related...
 
.......

Later... Ladies Short Program from Lillehammer '94

I remember hearing a somewhat, uh ... terse ... interview with Scott Hamilton during '94 where he explained that commentators had to call the skates of all 30 skaters because they never knew who was going to be shown during the broadcasts, some unknown could have a 'skate of their life' and be in the mix, a story could develop ... you just never know so they have to call the skate of everyone. He talked about having to call one skate (I'm pretty sure it was a Ladies SP) that he was upset how the skater made it all the way to the Olympics and just 'phoned it in' during their SP and it showed and he was, not mad, but upset about having to call that skate. Something along those lines anyway. For anyone watching the full event, see if we can figure out who he was talking about. I've always wondered. :shuffle:

Scott may have been sick in Sarejevo, but to the uninformed masses, he kinda looked like he was phoning it in.

I wonder how Scotty would go being in Ted Barton's shoes. Always the gentleman, year after year giving supportive commentary to every last skater on the Junior Grand Prix Series circuit.

Gosh, I would trade places with Hamilton in a second. I know of several people where commentary would be their dream job.

Without watching, I'd say he had the hates on Harding before she even stepped foot on the ice. Hamilton made a fortune from her misfortune.
 
Tonya just skated. Was her solo jump supposed to be a triple, or was it always a double? I don't remember.

Wow. Nancy really was perfect in that SP. Can't believe GBR and UKR (well, that one I believe) had her 2nd after that blatant 2-footed combo from Oksana. :unsure:
Oksana had a lot of pull coming into the event as the world champion. Whereas, Nancy had been fifth in Prague.
From memory, I think the judging panel consisted of countries who potentially favored the European over the American, too.

Wendy Utley, the British judge was judge number 1 and as such she was furthest away from the lutz corner where Baiul did her combo. I remember reading she said she didn't have a clear view and so had to give the benefit of the doubt. For the record, Utley had Baiul in second come the end of the competition and third in the free behind Kerrigan and Lu Chen.

And it wasn't a brush of the free foot type of 2 foot, it was landed with equal weight on both feet aka the worst kind of 2 footing and the kind that the judges supposedly hated the most. The jump is supposed to take a very heavy hit on technical merit. The step sequence was small in coverage and simplistic, and the combination spin did not have a sit spin in it. A hot bed for dings and deductions.

But it was such a beautiful program and I can't take my eyes off of her. Quite spectacular and complete opposite to the free skate. Come on, Nancy might be clean here but I have never had the urge to rewatch her, ever.

That's exactly my impression of both of their SPs. Oksana's was something special but boy did she have deductions. Nancy's was clean but the only thing I remember was her dress and those barrel rolls.

I rewatch both SPs, but I most rewatch Nancy's SP for the dress, and if I'm being honest, the music. I miss the 80s.

I don't even remember Nancy's barrel rolls! I guess they weren't as memorable as Holly Cook's in her Another Cha Cha program.

I'm curious how Tonya's 93 SKAM SP would rank with Nancy and Oksana.
 
The Free Dance of Sarajevo '84 is scheduled to be streamed on the Olympic Channel this sunday february 7th

It wil be on demand later, let's hope it is the COMPLETE Free Dance
