What a great cast - a nice mix of current skaters and some experienced show performers.

What a fabulous cast!!! Doesn't get much better than this.

Does anyone know what Ilia skated?

Will this show be on TV some time? I would LOVE to see Stephane and Ilia, but also esp. IRINA! And the number with Yuka, Ilia, Irina, Jeremy! It must be awesome!

It usually is televised in Japan - can't wait to see programs posted.

Was this Friends on Ice or Stars on Ice?

Now THAT is a woman. Unique skating style all her own and with it she owns the ice. I feel bad she has to skate the same damn program over and over again the rest of her life, but what a novel finishing move . Worth drooling.
