THE SOLE reason I did not "like" this is the intrusive speaker. I had thought that only the US sport channels destroyed figure skating performances in this way. I had missed Stephane Lambiel's performing career, but since watching him, I have found NO other artist to be his equal in expression. THIS is what attracted me to skating, and ballet at the early age when adults introduced me to ice shows, when ridiculous ball games et cetera, remained mere inadvertent clowning and no more of observation value or inspiration than bighorn sheep ramming heads. I recommend introducing your offspring to skating through performances of Stephane's quality. Modern figure skating would likely still be filled with the old praying mantis with unstraightenable legs, were it not for Stephane, whose every move, as well as his coaching have brought it into watchable art.
Lambiel even falls with style…you try getting up and skating as if nothing happened in front of such a big crowd/judges….I admire figure skaters in general, but Stephane is one of the absolute BEST
Wow. What a great skater. No wonder some people are so jaundiced by frustration. It's too bad Russia does not have an athlete with as much poise and grace along with all the right skill finesses that Polina has. You can infiltrate the ISU all you want but worthy talent like this you will never be able to buy or sell. Such jealousy that shows. Instead of spite, Russia, why don't you stop scheming your way at the Olympics and intentionally drugging your skaters, hoping it increases their opportunities at winning? No one in this worldly populace likes you, anyway (aside from you...naturally). And obviously we all know why that is. It is well-known you have no boundaries for favoring manipulation of the system. You are continuing to disregard RULES that the rest of us have to follow. Sit down and be quiet for once.... Polina is a beautiful performer on ice and the audience will always admire watching her. She's an absolutely beautiful person on the inside and outside. And also intelligent. It's so funny to me that Russia is wanting to hurl insults at poor Polina who wins her competitions fairly based on her hard work...and not swallowing an illegal substance or forging affiliations with members of the judging and the whole ISU. What a joke. Please halt humoring us.
I did not pay attention to figure skating news till Olympic Beijing opening. My sis recommended Nathan to me, she was impressed by his performance in the TV news. After watched him winning OJP champion, I am obsessed with him massively. Missed to watch his live performance in championship for many years I watched his championship footage in RU-vid every day😍
Same here, I stopped watching figure skating completely due to mediocre skating skills in American field of ice skating. Nathan’s skillful performances have renewed my interest early last year, and I feel so blessed that I was able to observe and witness his triumph in winning Olympic gold before his retirement, and collect his performances over his entire journey in pursuit of “GOLD”.
To me his best LP. He was very consistent on his jumps here while he was not in most of his performances. If you see, he spins amazingly as always here but way faster than in the years after.
This program is very artistic and elegant and Nathan did it in his debut senior performance! He has become more of a technical skater now for sure but saying he has little or no artistry is really ridiculous.
Lots of butthurt people in the comments. This routine was beautiful and done with CORRECT jumping technique, which is something that Anna Shcherbakova does not have, as lovely as she may be.
Фигурное катание сегодня - это совершенно другой уровень. Катание Полины как будто из 90-х годов. Странно, что она еще выступает с критикой чемпионок Олимпиады в Пекине.
@user-ho3mm5nd1x: 😃😃 Je to jiný level! Třináctileté holčičky bez výrazu, vystresované, zdrogované, všechny úplně stejné.. Rvačky, pláč, rozteklá mascara.. Tohle je sice z 90. let, ale andělské a bez hysterie. Krásná Polino, je to úžasné 👏👏👏
Не очень пластичная, скорее деревянная... просто странно, когда рот открывает такая посредственность и пытается критиковать тех, кто выше ее на десять голов...
@@zeel5689 it is foolish to blame all athletes for one uninvestigated case. All samples of Anna and Alexandra were checked and nothing was found there. So Polina's envious comments have no rational basis.
@@mariasorokina7358 yes let them investigate. I wasn’t blaming all athletes… though Russia has a big history with doping scandals so why would anyone be inclined to believe it was an accident or that it still isn’t widespread? 🤭
@@awuma she has no proof of her words. Why should we believe her words and not the wada tests that were carried out at all serious international competitions?
Nathan really deserved d victory & Gold ... All his previous performances ... WOW ... very SOLID... both he & Yuzu r equally SUPERB but Yuzu's ... Too fancy ... Very sissy 🥵... sorry no offense!
I don’t care for her . I didn’t care for her comments about Anna the gold-medal winner . I think she shows artistic elements with gold medal did you win at the Olympic or silver or bronze? why don’t you let us know why don’t you become a coach and go to Russian train them on your technique
I was just watching her to see if her critiques were genuine or if they come from a place of jealousy, seems to be the latter.... I found this routine slow and boring
