Meno & Sand (USA) - 1996 World Figure Skating Championships, Pairs' Long Program

Sarcasm, cynicism, black and white interpretations, internet jargon. I hope you get to feeling better. Being sick isn't any fun.

I hate that "death drop" or whatever it is they used to do at 4:52. They started doing it intentionally to scare the audience. I hated it a lot.  It was specifically one of the factors among others that completely turned me off of pairs figure skating. I do make it a point now not to watch pairs because it became too dangerous and I can no longer enjoy any beauty of it.

@NelsonClick oh, I see...you're a troll. Should have known. You put this message up on every video. So sad.

@hb2578

You hurt my feelings for no valid reason. I pray nobody does this to you whenever you express an opinion about something.

[hb2578]

@NelsonClick ahh, your response was quick, I see. :) Of course you are entitled to your opinion. You have the right to "hate" whatever and whoever you want. I just find it funny that you say this one little move "completely" turned you off to pairs FS. Plus the fact that you have the same sad comment on every M&S video. I am also entitled to respond to your opinion with a thought of my own. Have a nice day. :)

@hb2578 I wish you understood the greater point I was intending to make. It would have made a useful dialogue. It's disappointing to get a reaction instead of an insightful response. I was hoping to garner feedback from someone within the skating industry. This is a free and public forum and I don't feel I was out of line or saying anything objectionable.

@NelsonClick awww honey, there there...I don't feel you were out of line at all! but seriously...I'm just sitting at home sick today, and wanted to relive the glory days of FS. I saw the same "hate" comments from the same person (you) on at least two MS vids, which is considered trolling. I don't make the rules, sweets. Here's a tip...saying "I hate this" and "I hate that" isn't going to garner you much "useful dialogue"...it just provokes people and puts them off. Just sayin'.

I usually don't like when skaters keep the same program 2 or more years in a row (although sometimes it's nice to see a program from several seasons past revived) but this is an exception. Inspiring music and one of the prettiest pairs to watch, even if they didn't do the most difficult jumps.
