RG and figure skating Montage

[novideosforme123]

Anything you can do, I can do better, I can do anything better than you...

[icecharmed]

figure skating all the wayyy :)

[gymnasticslova725]

Many of the opinions are very biased. try both sports and i garuntee you'll see the similarities, the diffrences, and the fact that the are BOTH hard. By the time you've done that you'll realize that there is no need to compare both sports. seriously, what for?

[getmewildO2]

I think Figure Skating is a very difficult sport but not as hard as RG... IMHO... RG does difficult things and has more fields that you have to master compared to skating...

but I prefer Figure Skating... you can see it more like an art and not a sport... especially the way they glide on the spirals... they express the music with their footworks... the sound of the ice and blades gives me chills to my spines... it stimulates my blood =D it makes my heart beat sofast when watching it live...

[StellaVanderqqch]

What was the music ?

[Callisto777]

Several. Each time, it was the music used both by the skater and the gymnast (there is the title at the beginning of each sequence).

[sweetaerie1677]

i think figure skating is much harder the rg because we dont not all but spme of the same stuff they doo its mostly flexibility wihich skaters need too.. but if we were comparing regular tumbling gymnastics i think maybe gym but iunno u sould make a vid of figure skating vs. gymnastics or dance vs figure skating

[nicw]

how is RG just flexibility? Yes you have to be flexible but have you any idea how strong you have to be to do the stuff they do with their flexibility? A lot of the top RG gymnasts will be stronger than AG gymnnasts

[ValOtTiNa]

Rimango sempre scioccata quando si dice, "figure skating is much harder"....scusate ma qualsiasi sport fatto ad un certo livello è difficile!!! cm si posso paragonare qst sport dal punto di vista della difficolatà?!?!? se mai dal punto di vista estetico, ma allora può essere SOLO un giudizio SOGGETTIVO!

[NevadaRoja]

AG needs more strength that RG...

[gymnasticslova725]

@sweetaerie1677 it's not just flexebility, it's also strength, grace, agility. they make it look easy because that's what they are suppose to do. i'd love to see you try throwing a hoop in the air then do 3 illusions and catching the hoop right after. the first part isin't that difficult but add the apparatus and thats when it truly gets hard.

[buntonboy]

@gymnasticslova725 and still 3 illusions is something easy but 9 as shin soo ji did were superb xD

[buntonboy]

@sweetaerie1677 so maybe you need to see more of rhythmic gymnastics... i recommend you to see the routines of Anna Bessonova, Evgeniya Kanaeva, Olga Kapranova, Natalia Godunko, Melitina Staniouta, Inna Zhukova, Almudena Cid, Alina Kabaeva, Irina Tchachina, Aliya Yussupova, Aliya Garayeva, Irina Risenzon among others and then u see many thinks that are rare and top hard in RG, plus the RG creates the height of ther leaps by themselves isn't a sprung floor as in RG =)

[figuresk8rtripleaxel]

lol yea how can any1 sk8 2 flight of the bumblebee???

[sammywright07]

how can anyone skate to flight of the bumblebee? they'd have to have a death wish it's far too fast lol. he had very good personality throught that performance though. Carmen should have been sasha cohen, she would have brought more of the beauty of figure skating into the video x

[MoscowSnowGirl]

Suuuper! Thank you!

[hydrolito]

A lot of these are Russian performers you might do a comparison with Russian Ice-Dancers in a future Montage.

[icyflamer]

that was amazing. Those girl's routines all seemed more interesting than the guys. Maybe because they had a harder tasks of always having the objects in the exact right spot and being so damn flexible. But I'm pretty sure they all start from infancy.

[elisan693]

Thank you for explaining the reason for your choice of comparing rhythmic gymnastic and figure skating, along with the choice of music itself. It makes it even more understanding to me so I don't have to get confused when I observe your nicely managed montage. Thanks, Callisto for providing your expertise in the combined sports!

[wispochka]

originally idea!

[kika91rfs]

what is the music's name??  [..sorry for the bad english..]

[rglover67]

i do rg, but the music is shorter in rg than in ice skating cause rg has 4 routines instead of a short and performance. good job on it! its one of my favorite videos : )

[elisan693]

My gosh, that rhythmic gymnast blows the mind....

[zdkrdh]

thats not even thcachinas music -.- but it was kind of fun

[Callisto777]

It is not exatcly the same montage, and it is not the same montage as Lambiel neither, but it IS the same music. And Lambiel and Tchachina don't have the same montage but they still have the same music. :-)

[minnaqt93]

totally AWESOME! not even sasha cohen is that plexible.

[FaerieDevilish]

Sasha Cohen is very flexible for a skater, but any rhythmic gymnast would surpass her without effort.

[Soleija]

still, she started in rhythmic gymnastics as a child, so her flexibility is not that much of a wonder, is it^^

[elisan693]

I don't think she started in that as a child. She started as a typical gymnastic. Please read her biography. If she started in rhythmic gymnastic, she would have continued with that.

[buntonboy]

@FaerieDevilish specially Alina Kabaeva... in flexibility she was a monster!!

[elisan693]

flexible.
