Really makes one regret the shift toward jumps as the highest priority in competitive figure skating. This is, quite frankly, some of the amazing stuff I’ve ever seen in terms of creativity and emotion. Bravo.
In a long time fan in the states i don't speak Russian but that doesn't mean jack to me. Just heard of his passing only the blessed will the days be shortened. Heaven rejoices.
Awesome shimmy and beautifully integrated into the choreography! She skates it with such speed and musicality which adds to the artistic impression of sass, energy, flirtatiousness, free-spirited independence, and beauty. Oksana excels at creating a character on ice. A fabulous dance-actress on ice and makes it all look easy. Thanks for sharing.
So few in skating can translate feeling into movement like Oksana...she's one of the best actresses on ice, and with such wonderful theatrical timing and instinct!
Beautiful oksona. I'm truly sorry for not being on linked in, I was being bullied, and I felt the need to keep myself safe. I will always be your biggest biggest biggest biggest biggest fan. Sending a hug your way
When she looks up and finally unveils herself from the leafy curtain under which she was hiding on a musical peak, it's a very powerful, vulnerable and beautiful moment.
Кто знает, где можно найти полную версию этого спектакля? Буду очень благодарна за ссылку. Does anyone know where the full version of this performance can be found? I would be very grateful for the link.
Though they both fell in almost every program, I believe Sasha Cohen's artistry, charisma and passion were far superior to Baiul's. Cohen's "Malaguena " short program is one of the all-time best (again, IMHO).
Why did it take the invasion of Ukraine for many of Oksanas skates to hit RU-vid? Is now noticing they are posted in the past 3 weeks or so. 3-18-22 is today.
Weird ending on this program. I would not classify her in the category of 'all-time ' greats. Yes, Oksana was balletic and musical 🎼 : however, IMO, Sasha Cohen, Michelle Kwan, Kristi Yamaguchi were superior. Oksana was erratic: this program was one of her few clean post-Olympic programs - with only two triples. Oksana brought a 'woe is me' attitude to her skating, which I did not find professional. Oksana was very good for a short while, then deteriorated sharply.
GENIUS × BRILLIANT This PROGRAM = ( This choreography / The music / This costume ) is the best ice-skating-program ever This is not her best performing this program , but there are other videos & the way she performed in the other videos shows that she is one of best ICESKATER's OF ALL TIME GENIUS × BRILLIANT
As I've written elsewhere, she was to become our first (and only for a long time) female Actor on the ice. Had the cards been in her favor, she could have set the world of stage on ice with her as the main protagonist. Alas, such was not to be. But we can see it in her, no matter.
Sus errores en la pista y la música combinan tan bien, se siente la desesperanza, se siente tan humana a pesar de ser ganadora se medalla de oro, un ser humano imperfecto con deseos de ver la luz, la gloria, ahora la veo de otro modo y me gusta más, ya no como alguien extraordinario, ya no la idealizo, ahora la veo como lo que verdaderamente es y mejor.
