The Sadder Moments of Skating montage

[downonbarbe]

thanx for the laughs..

[mariarules11]

Oops 1:25 sorry!

[mariarules11]

1:30! OUCH! I forgot her name, but her partner almost quit.

[rmillard919]

Are you being obtuse?

For decades, former Soviet bloc, French and Italian judges cheated against the weak Canadians, Israelis and others federations; deciding who would win before they even skated.

In the Sale & Pelletier case, the lead American referee caught the cheating, reported it, and demanded the double gold and he wouldn't shut up.

The IOC publicly ordered Figure Skating to stop cheating and change its scoring system or be kicked out of the Olympics.

That is the truth.

[basha417]

Sale Pelletier did not deserve a gold medal. They skated the program we all saw dozens of times, nothing new or challenging about that. They disgraced figure skating by accepting another gold medal in a token gesture.

[heatherandjoey]

@basha417 What did you see in that skate that did not deserve a gold? It was crystal.

[mariamqwert]

What happened at 1:58?

[FigureSk8rxx]

i think they disqualified themselves or got hurt or something..

[blahblahisluv]

i've never saw that particular angle where dube got hit in the face. and that made me almost cry to think on how many time that almost happend to me.

[roxybug04]

The skate to the face made me grasp my face and gasp and groan... and Michelle Kwan made me mad at those Olympics. Yes she's a beautiful skater and the only title left she needs is an olympic gold. I thought it was pretty prideful that she had that dress, routine, and song with the absolute expectation she was going to win gold.

[icefirestar22]

hey what is the performance of sasha's called??

and who is the skater at 0:33

[MNskater07]

Sasha is shown doing her "Romeo and Juliet" program and the skater at 0:33 is Kimmie Meissner.

i think you missed the saddest moment.... when salé and pelletier lost the gold medal to the russian team in Salt Lake City 2002. i cry every single time i watch their program (which was flawless and so emotional) and their reaction after getting their marks.... it's just heartbreaking...

[courtneysk8s]

No, what was sad was the way the Canadian pigs cried like babies until they got what they wanted. B&S were BY FAR the superior skaters, even with a mistake. Their basic skating skills were so much better than S&P, it was a joke to even consider giving S&P gold medals. What break my heart is the way B&S are villified, when all the did was show up and skate beautifully, not like the truckdriver Canadians.

[newbatgirl]

Can you give me an example where S&P said anything bad about the Russians? S&P were nothing but classy in their reactions.

[Haley452]

at least they got what they wanted because they were Canadian and their federation was strong and wealthy. and at the same time, Drobiazko/Vanagas were placed fifth in ice dancing while deserved bronze at least, but noone cared, coz they were "only" Lithuanians. and then a month later same happened at worlds and their protest went unnoticed again. So yeah, what happened to S/P in Salt Lake wasn't sad for me, it was riddiculous. Silver wasn't enough, huh? some people didn't even get that much.

[heatherandjoey]

@Haley452 They got what they rightly deserved because the judges finally got caught cheating.

[Haley452]

so why didn't the Lithuanians got what they deserved, huh? i'm just saying their case isn't sad, Drobiazko/Vanagas's is, because they were robbed as well (twice in one season), but nobody gave a crap coz Lithuania is small and has no great history in FS. Just saying the team would probably have won many medals more if represented Russia where Margarita was from.

[HardRockCandy]

Canadian firgure skating... not wealthy... not even remotely by comparison to most other countries.

[bluspark658]

ok...i was totally crying by the time michelle was shown......

[Futureskating22]

So sad, Sasha Cohens performance really broke my heart - she deserved the gold medal! But anyway, I loved the song! What's it called?

[tellito1]

i think michelle kwan represents all the beauty in the sport and is very sad , vancouver is the gold!!

[LVroma]

Where do you get your videos for this?

[bobbjob4815]

I didnt know that Dube/Davison's accident was ever filmed, that was awful:O So glad that they have come back from it:)

[endurra]

beautiful video..

[KanamyUzumaki]

in 1:58 why was the woman crying?

[MNskater07]

It's Dorota Siudek (of the Polish pairs team Siudek/Siudek), and she's crying because her and her partner Mariusz had to withdraw from Worlds last year after a nagging back injury of his only got worse during the warm up for the long program.

[MichealBarrettfan]

wonderful montage

[elisan693]

You have an extra pair of kleenex? I think I feel a sniffle coming on..... Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.... Can you do it with Ian and Sylvia's "Everybody have to Say Goodbye"?

[sask8s]

dont forget zhang/zhang

[parciak111]

this was really sad! but wonderfully put 2gether!

[bryan21tx]

Nicely done. I couldn't really relate to Kimmie's Olympics being that heartbreaking, considering it was her first Olympics and she placed 6th, but good job. I like the choice of music :-)
