[iBubbleDuck]

[archie977]

couples figure skating is the most beautifull and powerfull

[ridace]

also - how can you not include wiley's 1994 olympic routine?

[ridace]

2:17 is amazing! who is that?

[Hanly100]

Figure skate is very difficult. But for me, I prefer watch rhythmic gymnastics, because rhythmic gymnasts are 3 times more flexible.

[33winterbirds]

I think figure skating is the hardest sport there is. The skaters must not only be able to skate, but be dancers and gymnasts as well. They also must have incredible strength so that would take body building too. In order to accomplish these skills they must have to love the sport beyond anything else.

[unicornshelly]

wow..this is an amazing clip...i really love ice skating..but i would never had the chance to skate like those....

[mississippibluffs]

No one spins like Lucinda Ruh! I wonder how her skating would be judged under the new system.

[xkweendilemmax]

Why anyone would dislike this is beyond me!

[icesk8xbeatles]

0.24 I loved it

[Smurfy1211]

Who is skating at 2:07? It's been bugging me.

I wish I could figure skate.

[Lilia96]

@Smurfy1211

Hey! Alexander Abt (RUS)

[Smurfy1211]

@Lilia96 Ah okay. Thanks!

Great video by the way. I love the music and how the clips sync to the song.

[dreamaginny]

@Smurfy1211 alexander abt.

[jfluter]

@Smurfy1211 It's never too late to learn! I just started taking adult figure skating classes in January (at age 30), and I absolutely love the sport. In the United States, there's the United States Figure Skating Association and the Ice Skating Institute.  If you do a google search for them, you may be able to find a rink, classes, and a coach in your area. Give it a try!

[MegaCupcakesRule]

@Smurfy1211 Naomi Lang and Peter Tchernechev if you're talking about the ice dancing pair. I saw them in person once, they were stunning. :D

[mtv32994]

You know this video actually brought a tear to my eye because it was so beautiful.....I LOVE figure skating it truly is a beautiful sport :).....

[HotCompetition]

SOMEONE TELL ME PLEASE - who is the couple with the blue costume and the girl has a big white cross on the front. I remember this and it was the most superb combination I have ever seen. It was like something spiritual. Like living water.

[Lilia96]

[livelaughlove27]

Who is that at 3:13? I want to see the rest of her performance. She looks so proud of herself at the end. :-)

[Lilia96]

[lyniehall]

That is Tara Lipinski from the '98 Nagano Olympics when she won the Gold and Michelle Kwan, Silver and Lu Chen Bronze. She was the youngest to win Olympic Gold at that time..15yrs 8mths..

[fattyfatass123]

The spinner at 2:14 is Lucinda Ruh from Switzerland. She was never a great jumper but her spins were amazing. Look her up!

[queencc8]

Who is the figure skater at 2:14? That spin is perfect!

[Lilia96]

Lucinda Ruh! xx

[shmoofoobean44]

0:36 muscles much? O_o

[figureskatingnerd]

[Lilia96]

[figureskatingnerd]

Thanks :) And thank you so much for this lovely video!!!

[IceskaterGirl08]

i think more ppl shood recognice iceskating as a beautiful and very chalenging sport instead of jus a sissy sport

[jenayen]

TRUE!

[jfluter]

@IceskaterGirl08 I consider skating to be an artistic sport. What you're trying to portray to the audience is an art piece, and a story within itself. What you also do on the ice is very athletic, making it a sport. That's just my opinion. :)

[solidlove015]

I LOVE IT!!

[Lilia96]

thanks loads! xx

[tinymavy]

Excellent!!!!

[Lilia96]

thank you very much! x

[jenayen]

amazing

[titia088]

can you send me the music? I have the original canon but I like this version so if you could:)

[Lilia96]

I would love to send it to you, unfortunately this song, and all the other music I've used for my montages are files saved on a different computer in London (I divide my time between London and Montreal,) however, I found this particular version on Limewire, so I recommend that! If not, you could try ITunes. Sorry for the inconvenience, and I hope you find it! :) xx

[Miketike]

who is the pair at 1:06 -1:18?

[Lilia96]

Marina Klimova & Sergei Ponomarenko. 1992 Olympics FD, one of the best ever!! :) xx

@Miketike

Marina Klimova - Sergey Ponamarenko, the olympic champions of 1992

[PecanSandees23]

@amymint5 I think that's Lucinda Rue. 

[waddleduckie1]

She's lovely, but she had put too much stuff on her eyelashes.....- the couple in the beginning.

[schilderij1]

I loved that you ended with Torvel and Dean, best dance pair ever!

[Lilia96]

Lucinda Ruh. xx :)

[rballettom]

what is the name of the swiss skater in the red dress? I can never remember her name but her spins are so amazing.

[waddleNguin]

the couple in the beginning had really ugly faces

[solidlove015]

I agree.

[solidlove015]

some of the moves are kinda hilarious. LOL

[solidlove015]

I luv it!!!

[loverforxtina]

my illusion spin is way better

[maraskywalker]

this was so beautiful. I love figure skating. The music you chose was a perfect compliment to the clips. Great job.

[Lilia96]

I love making montages, the trick is to combine beautiful moments of something you love, and put it together to a powerful piece of music, music is really the key element, I think. xxx I'm making some new ones soon, life has just been hectic lately.

[loverforxtina]

my triple axel is way better than that

[popularACSI]

oh my this is really great:D

thanks for posting it!

[sk8gr8girl1]

[damanwidtheplan]

[Lilia96]

It's in the description! Pachelbel's Cannon - Vanessa Mae.

xxxx

[Masutatsu5Oyama]

what's the name of the song???

[elisan693]

i hate to break this up, but aol video has lots to offer more than just videos. Also, its even better than you tube because, anybody can post anything like the figure skating montage you see here, including many of your favorite figure skaters. I think, people post too much racist and pornographic videos on you tube.

[LucyFigureSkates]

shut up

[annpinsonrebecca]

Then why are you still here?

[kewkewkachoo]

that is breath-taking....well done!

[Lilia96]

That's Lucinda Ruh (SUI) --- 1999 Worlds SP.

xoxoxo

[mrparke007]

Oh my God. Who IS that at 2:14??? That's the prettiest spin I've ever seen. Incredible! Is that the "illusion" spin everyone is mentioning in the comments? Who first did that? Thanks for this!!!

[mrparke007]

Nevermind about the illusion spin. I wrote that comment before I watched the rest of the vid. But who is that at 2:14?

[Lilia96]

Actually, the couple from 1:59 to 2:06 is Lang & Tchernyshev.

xxxx

[LWOPP]

The couple at 1:59 - 2:08 is Klimova and Ponomarenko. They won Olympic medals in every color. Later, Tara Lipinski is doing the illusion spin.

[mrsfrobes]

Now THAT was a Best Of...thanks.

[sweetthalia1]

what is the name of the skater she did a ilussion spin

[sweetthalia1]

[lozzaleonhart]

[coralros]

I love the couple at 1:59 to 2:06. That was beautiful. The whole vid was Beautiful. Thanks

[illusionist23]

[Yibai]
