Berezhnaya & Sikharulidze (RUS) - 2002 Salt Lake City, Figure Skating, Pairs' Short Program

There's has not been a pair before or since who're more lovely and elegant than Y & A. This is a pair that I can watch all day doing the same program and would never tire of doing so! Yelena with her beautiful and delicate fragility and Anton with a protective though elegant type of strength. Loved them sooo much!

Olympics have never been the same since the 2002 winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, for women, men, and pairs figure skating. This was the best year ever for Olympics.

The best program i've ever seen in my life! How do you describe this? : goregous, lovely, beautiful....there's no words to describe their skating...

This short program to 'La Califfa' is perfection. It doesn't get any better than that.

I just realized that the commentator mentioned Elena's accident being in 1966 instead of 96! She looks good for her age! I've watched this a zillion times, I can't believe I never caught that. :)

BEST PAIR EVER !!!

Best pairs short program ever. Hands down. Such a beautiful pair. Had they skated towards the end of the night, I'm sure they'd posted 5.9's 6.0's for presentation. Amazing.

@intldawn-You are SO RIGHT @ this being the best pairs SP ever.

Absolutely.

It WAS just amazing. No question@ it.

The lean, the edges,the stretch they BOTH exhibited in every single move. Elena holding that landing-beautifully- on the throw triple loop for what seemed a lifetime.

Perfect side-by-side triple toes... Everything was perfect@this program. And a very attractive couple.

Agree: Hands down the BEST.
