Top 10 Craziest Figure Skating Gala Performances | Top Moments 

imagine getting hit in the head by a lollipop thrown at full speed like those things can be hard af sometimes lmfao

those two really went “yeah let’s break every rule in the book”

*Skaters when planning their gala performances:* Ok so I'm/we're going to skate to this fun song we always wanted to skate to, put on some funky costumes and have fun with it. *Valentina and Ondrei:* Ok lets skate to Barbie girl and do every banned lift in the books

Basically, gala performances are for breaking all the rules

“I was in the Olympics!” “Really??? That’s so cool! What did you do?” “I played the violin 😎” 😂

Valentina and Andrei really did every move you're not allowed to do

10:56 did he just run on ice with skates on...?

Javi, will always have my heart. Iconic.

No one: Spaniards, Italians, and Frenches:

wow the barbie girl couple rlly won this one. the spins were so cool imagine having that much trust in ur partner jeez

The galas are basically the skaters showing a huge middle finger to the ISU like "LOOK AT ALL THE BANNED MOVES I CAN IMPLEMENT! LOOK AT ALL THE POINTS YOU CAN'T DEDUCT"

BACKFLIP ON ICE! what a legend

10:54 he runs on ICE.. with skates on, like it's NOTHING! wow!!!!! hahaha

Gala exhibitions show how beautiful sport is figure skating!! It's so great to see all the athletes, relaxed, enjoying their performances during gala exhibitions...They show us a little from themselves, and we enjoy together with them and as much as they do...

Javi an iconic legend that we’ll never forget, we miss you king!!!!!

4:25 One of my favorites! Machida said in an interview "I chose the songs that the audience could enjoy the most. I also practiced air guitar." He is an Olympian and is now a sports scientist

People: figure skating is boring Me: * laughs in Surya Bonaly *

the guy that skated to queen omg he has my heart

Woah the Barbie and Ken couple are BADASS!!

"how many banned moves do you want in your performances guys?" skaters: y e s

05:57 wasn't expectin BTS lol

Us Italians always have the weirdest ideas

super javi is not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed .

Director: ok so do you have any ideas and themes for next week's skate show? Valentina and Ondrei: hold our list of illegal moves

The backflip one made me speechless

I really miss Javi's performance in competition, He's always amazing figure skater and artist who can entertain people 😊

Javi had the most entertaining program.imo✌️

4:25 Tatsuki Machida’s air guitar😆♥

5:11 i don't watch figure skating but I actually started yelling. This man is iconic

5:48 "local" k-pop hit lol

9:25 BRUH I WENT STUPID I WENT CRAZY.

I think we need more of this new and vibrant figure skating that really speaks to the current generation. I feel like the early 90s set the bar for figure skating, then seemed to die off until more recently when the sport started allowing songs with lyrics that are more mainstream. I think that this was REALLY an important step for the sport because, if we're honest, the Olympics have to change with the times. And, that move was one of the best decisions the Council could have made (I would be remiss if I didn't mention, though, and am surprised that they're not in this top ten because, come on, the dudes are LEGENDS on the ice, Scott Hamilton and Kurt Browning aren't here)!

Javier and Philippe are my favorites. Plus the Italian pair, of course!

Tatsuki Machida’s knee slide was actually smooth tho

The dude literally spun her on his head, no handed.. the rest can no longer compare.

Super Javi will always be the funniest and most iconic exhibition ever 💕😁

Oh wow!! I am so glad that Surya Bonaly was #1!! I remember watching her along with many other skaters, but she stood out with her famous back flip as she graced the rink.. Blessings to you Surya and Thank you for sharing this wonderful video!! I was hoping to see others like Hamilton etc..skaters that not only were great skaters, but made me laugh and very entertaining too!

Surya is the most elegant and skilled skater ever, I am so in love with every performance shes ever given. She brought so much to the table in figure skating.

I Know it wasn't the Olympics but Evgenia medvwdevas sailor moon dance in Japan was fire !

Valentina and Ondrej really said 'how about we do everything we're not allowed to do' lmao

I just love Javi so much

Philipe just had more fun than anyone else at the competition or the exhibition lol

Honestly, I'm surprised how good the quality was back in the 1990's

The figure skating gala performances are my favorite part of the whole of the olympics. I love getting to see them getting to love what they do .... they make me laugh cry and feel inspired. Love them!!! 💞💞

I watched Philippe Candeloro do this live on tv and it was amazing! That man is FINE! You should watch his whole performance!

2018 Peyongchang olympic gala was the best gala in all FS history, you can't change my mind

I missed Plushenko's sexbomb! Now that was iconic!

When Mic Drop came up I was like:That’s ma song😆💜

Javi I love you!

You started out really strong with Chaplin, then all of them were rather disappointing until Barbie! But really Javi just stole the show ;)

Freaking Javi 😂 that man gives me life

Super Javi was amazing !! I loved his performance XD !!

Miss you, Javi.........! 💜💙

Javi the most entertaining of all.

didn’t know gala was the one performance to throw a big “f* you” to safety lmao the barbie girl one

That backflip! Omg!!!

I did not expect to hear mic drop here omg

I love Tatsuki just for taking a Queen song and doing such a cool performance on it!

How did I miss the lollipop performance?! Omg I'm so disappointed in myself, like no joke..

I can’t not smile when I’m watching Javi skate😍😍

Where is Plushenko?

the guy skating to i need a hero is the energy i aspire to have

You have to understand that when Philippe did this, no one was doing it!

Imagine having to exercise every single day again and again and again to "Barbie Girl". 🤪

That back flip o_0 she did it so effortlessly... Wow! Just wow!

JAVI IS ICONIC

OMG YOU CAN CALL ME JAVI AND U CAN CALL ME LATER SNDJSHSGHSHSHSHSJSHJS

That's soooo funny 👏👏👏 Of course my favourite performance is Aerobic class. Super Javiiii 😍😍😍

MIC DROP maaan, where my ARMYs at? 😁🙆

Brasseur & Eisler's clowns routine in 1992 or their Grease routine really should have made this list. But Philippe and Surya being 1-2 is spot on.

Javier Fernandez is such jokes I love it 🤣

"Don't stop me now" is my ringtone. When that song came on I was so confused 😭

01:43 Normal people: they are so good Me: DRAGON MONEYY

1:40 as a k-pop stan I was like I KNOW THIS SONGGGG😂😂😂

6:03 this was fire... I got so hype!! Made me want to something cool but then I remembered I have no life but it was a vibe😂😂😂

Super Javi is one of my favorites!

Here only for super Javi

Tatsuki Machida is a Legend in my book

Javi's one was my favorite, he was so comical and having so much fun😆❤️ when he pointed to one person at the end though I hope it was Yuzu and they perform together as besties😂👍

Machida was really ahead of time with his Queen program

Javi! I miss him

Amazing original performances, some funny, others spine tingling and yet those extra special ones that defy gravity... kudos 🤗

What makes these clips awesome is you can see everyone of these skaters are loving what they're doing!!! So much fun :)

Ok Surya in that metallic leotard doing Madame Butterfly. I am obsessed.

Awww this is so fun. I didn't know this was part of the Olympics

My recollection of Surya and back flips is a lie different. The ISO kept saying that back flips weren't "real" jumps because they were landed on two feet. The thing that was really remarkable about this performance (and a great big f- you to the ISO) is that she landed it in one foot, totally negating that excuse for banning it from competition.

Surya's routine was not crazy it was exquisite. Beautiful skater.

1:38 I love how they decided on lolipop by big bang and 2ne1, it's definitely not super conventional and i appreciate that

Javi's routine is so fun.. he rocks it!

was definitely expecting more with a title like this

Although the technic of everyone is truly amazing, there is a reason why Philippe and Soraya are in 2nd and 1st place! There's no one like the skaters from 20 and 30 years ago. Period!

SuperJavi - best superhero of figure skating

Hola, Javi, I love you too from Espana Spanish Figure Skater.

I miss Boyang's Spiderman as a short program T^T

1:36 😍 2NE1 and BIGBANG

The italian barbie girl made my day

Javier's performance is the best!

Javi is an ICON

6:03 im pretty sure he is ARMY jajajajajajjaskskskskskskssk (OwO a.m proud!)

I loves barbie girl from Vale Marchei e Ondrei Hotarek and in past was super perfomances from Mister Plushenko
