An acquaintance is wracking her brain trying to figure it out. Toller Cranston? I see a pair team, but can't figure out who.

Susanna Pöykiö?

Susanna Pöykiö?

She thought of Susanna. Do you remember when?

That's not the one we are remembering, though. I'm seeing a dramatic ending pose.

Probably not what you're thinking of either, but Lyons and Wells in 1995-96.

Could be it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk4adEr7QPc&t=173s Brian Wells could emote with the best of them Thanks. Any others?

She had the program in 2003-04 and 2004-05. Here is her program from 2005 Europeans:

It does seem like a very Toller piece of music, but I can’t come up with any time that he would have skated to it.

You may be thinking of the film "Henry V" with Kenneth Branagh. Paul Wylie skated to this music in 1992. He won a silver medal at the Albertville Olympics. You can probably find a copy on YouTube. His free skate began with music from the film "Henry V," (I think the piece was "Into the Breach", but I could be wrong). He ended with the Saint-Saens.

 

[A.H.Black]

No - Definitely not Henry V. We already went through that. Thanks for the thought.

 

[Coco]

Thanks for posting that short program of Ashley's. Never knew she went to a Triple lutz-triple Loop. The Triple Loop was pretty good!

 

[A.H.Black]

My friend likes the Lyons/Wells, but still thinks there is someone from back in the '70s or '80s - probably not on youtube. If you are a long time fan, please give it some thought.

Lyons & Wells was who I came up with right away, and I had a deja vu moment of watching Ashley's program at that event and wondering what ever happened to Lyons & Wells. She's now a coach and he's now a dentist iirc.

A good excuse as any to watch Wylie's magical moments on Olympic ice again!

Silly scores... Paul should have received all 59s and 58s for artistry, and maybe even at least one 6.0! He was always a spectacular stylist with great stretch, lines, and musical interpretation!
