[HD] Oksana Baiul - 2000 World Pro - Technical Program 

She made ice skating an art form

Because, by this point, she had limited jumps. 🍻

hat does it matter, W@@paulief.biggie5459 ? What a beautiful performance.

Yes she was and so is Kamila Vallieva. Its sad what they are doing to that girl at 15

Cream of the crop, I am stealing that line

@@naheenisapoet69 Feel free, it’s just a saying

Молодець!!!

Молодець!

Yes. I looked at her 1994 Winter Olympics short and long programs, and she was doing things no one had done before, but now everyone’s doing them. I always looked forward to seeing her skate, because you never knew what type of program she’d do. Her originality was unparalleled.

I think the elite skaters had to learn all that, but the artistic is where she is unrivaled, her ability to flow state in dance on skates is something that only someone who has grew up on ice could ever be possible

That's possibly the best way to describe her!

Wow. Such a perfect analogy.

She exposed her soul.

Bjork sucks, she is way better

False sensuality. La verdadera sensualidad no puede ser rusa. Latina, árabe o africana. Es genética.

@Colleen I sensed something dark, evil. I just didn't know how to put in words. Thank you.

Colleen It’s just a skate show and you’re getting all superstitious.

@Colleen it’s just a performance. If it makes you uncomfortable, don’t watch it.

Formidable! Powerful, gifted, a star

I agree!

Еще судьба такая трудная ,остаться сиротой в 12 лет и достичь таких успехов ,не каждому дано.

Она здесь не много крупноватая

World & Olympic level figure skating is sport. Therefore, it rightfully emphasizes quick turns, high leaps and intricate technical details. Show skating is about entertainment & artistry touching people, sending a message or moving peoples emotions whether its drama or comedy. I don't want to see artistry over-represented in the Olympic arena, it should rightly concentrate on sport & athleticism.

Actually her jumps were pretty technically bad. This coming from ab ex figure skater

I actually wondered that myself. She was doing this kind of erratic, unsteady thing throughout, and it seemed unlikely that she'd skate that way by accident.

It’s highly unlikely that she would make those mistakes on purpose. After she dropped Galina as a coach she had some major shifts in her lifestyle (she didn’t practice as much, she started drinking and got a DUI, etc.). I still think her performances were beautiful but she lost a lot of her power on the ice.

@@m.j.kettleborough1880 I was thinking she must be drinking or using drugs even because it was so erratic.

Ваша правда! 👍

Я не понял сюжета. Подскажите, пожалуйста.

@@katevaughn839 I think she meant Ukraine. :)

FlailTV omg duh. I feel stupid haha. Thank you for actually replying in a nice way😂❤️

@@katevaughn839 No worries. :) Don't feel stupid. We learn what we learn when we learn it, and it's easy to see things as obvious when you already know them.

@@FlailTV Exactly.

Она и есть космос

😂

Громоздкая и тяжёлая.

@@user-gy6qt4uv8n нет

Однозначно

@@user-gy6qt4uv8n в этой программе да, она очень попоавилась

@@user-pv4ln8qm3y она по-моему в то время алкоголем и наркотиками баловалась

YES! I scrolled down the comments just to see if anyone else saw this too! 😍😍😍

Да, прекрасно! 👍

This looks like Britney Spears circa 2006 kinda crazy. The program was a bit... self-indulgent. She had really lost the magic she had created at the Olympics. She was never a particularly good pro skater: she could barely compete with the skaters twice her age and regressed technically down to a shaky novice the second she announced retirement from Olympic-level. She made some interesting programs along the way, many were choreographically stunning. This was perhaps not one of them... but I can't say I was bored with it either.

Her old programs were very derivative, mostly imitation of existing ballet choreography. A truly creative person has to turn away from imitation at some point.
