His utter humility shown when he breaks down in joyful tears shows what kind of character Alexei possesses- you just have to love this guy, he has a heart and soul of pure gold!

[magdalena79m]

Congratulations for your success and for your hard work! Really beautiful skating performance!

[trelikardia83]

i seriously can't hold my tears... this is AAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGG­GGGGGGG

[stullara]

he's the one!!

[3gatsunolion]

無駄な動きが一つもないね

動きの一つ一つが大きい

最近の流れはつなぎが多すぎてせわしなく感じる、特にPチャン

[hazelreflection]

I think Plushenko is my favorite skater over all, but dang...this was freaking fantastic and now I understand why plushenko couldn't have beaten that. This dude deserved the gold hands down, omg. That was beautiful.

[Sileeee56]

This is my favourite skater ever!!!!

[snowchild99]

ヤグディンの4回転は、女子伊藤の3Aと同じ、今も誰も未だ超え­られないレベルにあるな。amazing

[Karosanyo]

Yes, I liked his Tosca program much better. Now that was worth a 6! I though this performance was a bit overrated.

[ispaht]

Amazing! My only gripe is that his spins are kinda average.

[kwwitka]

как я болела...помню))вот это -настоящая гордость...)что ягудин.что плющенко..что слуцкая...эхххх....))спс-за радость )

[VioletHaleJalicefan]

Maybe USA has a lot of amzing athletes but, forgive, but I think Russians are still the best artists on ice :D

(I'm mexican and I can appreciate the awsomeness of others)

[beshnola]

What a strong skater, how many quads did he land?Those were some high jumps.

[madfish2508]

god, the quality of this is AMAZING! Thank for sharing this with us!!!!!

[waste88881]

感極まったヤグディンを見るとこっちまでもらい泣きしそうになる­。

圧巻でした。

[rararapipi]

約10年前の映像なのに今尚感動を与えるこの演技。すごいとしか­言い様がありません。

[paristhefarmer]

AMAZING.

[bibi24]

how did they already have widescreen back then?

[Veste]

@bibi24

The Japanese footage of the Olympics was made available in HD.

[bibi24]

@Veste wow Japan always ahead in technology, bravo!

[loverainbow0812]

この神演技を作ったのは、努力以外の何物でもないと誰が見ても分­かる演技ですよね。

いつもこの映像を見て勇気を貰ってます！本当に感謝感謝です！

[8nzo]

his footwork is legendary

[genzou0310]

やはりヤグディンはヤグディンであり、今後彼を越えるスケーター­は存在しないと思う。今の人たちにはこの演技を見てからフィギュ­アとは何ぞやということを認識してもらいたい。

個人的にはこの後の長野ワールドのときのほうが演技自体は完ぺき­だったと思う気がするが、五輪の大舞台。ここまでやればあっぱれ­！

[Rous1an]

а почему камеру не разбил?

[Cyrillius1]

Lol he's crying with emotion...! XD <3

[waste88881]

自分がフィギュアに興味を持つキッカケになった本当に素晴らしい­演技。

キスアンドクライで泣き崩れるヤグディンに思わずもらい泣き。

何度見ても心が震えます。



[CandyMeadowspot]

I would have his baby every day :)

[katyu614]

何年経っても色褪せない素晴らしい演技だと思う。四回転を二回成­功するだけでもすごいのに、後半のステップのキレ具合。タラソワ­さんの振り付けも曲にとても合っていると思う。当時はこれでプル­シェンコとヤグディンの高レベルなメダル争いは見納めかもなぁと­思うと残念だった。

[portishphonic]

@oni0912 wow those are some great comments. I've seen some of Alexei's performances covered by American television and God are those guys awfully retarded. Also, annoying as hell rambling over the music playing. Thanks for the info

[Asyakry]

Катание Плющенко вызывает бешеное сердцебиение , это катание ничего не вызывает,  жаль, что этого мужчину поставили на первое место.

[kirkenes]

@Asyakry Катание Плющенко вызывает бешеное мочеиспускание. Увы, увы. Хотя изначально Плющенко был талантливее, но превратился в посмешище.

[Asyakry]

@kirkenes проблемы?

[lillyinlooove]

@Asyakry

Говорите за себя, уважаемая. Если у ВАС ничего не вызывает, то это только У ВАС. Обобщать не надо. Ягудин ПОБЕДИЛ Плющенко. Заслуженно. Плющенко выиграл ОИ2006 без конкуренции. Несерьезно. Прокатался на расслабоне, без эмоций. Разочаровал, хоть и золото. На ОИ2010, где конкуренция была, провалился. Эта программа Ягудина вызывает У МЕНЯ эмоции. Олимпийские программы Плющенко нет.

VIVA YAGUDIN!

[Asyakry]

@lillyinlooove , ты мыслишь однобоко, ты просто не можешь объективно оценить ситуацию,

[lillyinlooove]

@Asyakry

ну, куда ж мне до вас не однобокой и объективной,)) продолжайте верить в сказки, ага

адье

[Darianna37]

@lillyinlooove "Плющенко выиграл ОИ2006 без конкуренции." - Так это заслуга Плющенко, что он не имел равных, не подпустил к себе никого, за все четыре года после ОИ-2002 он проиграл всего раз. А вот Ягудин имел конкурента в лице Евгения, хотя тот был дебютантом на Олимпиаде и тинэйджером.

На ОИ-2010 Плющенко "уступил" всего один и три десятых балла, это по любому не называется "провалился". Плющенко - уникум, поскольку редкий фигурист, тем более одиночник, имеет медали трёх олимпиад.

[Shmogerzybl]

@Darianna37 "хотя тот был дебютантом на Олимпиаде и тинэйджером" двадцатилетний тинейджер? Круто :) :) :) Он, вообще-то, был уже двукратным чемпионом мира к тому моменту :)... тинейджер, блин :)

[Darianna37]

@Shmogerzybl Нет, ему было 19 лет. В феврале 2002 Плющенко было 19 лет и три месяца, т.е. тинэйджер-таки. На тот момент он выиграл на мире один раз (в 2001 году в 18 лет), а вот Европу он выиграл дважды - в 17 и 18 лет.

[Shmogerzybl]

@Darianna37 Ах, да, чтобы было понятнее. У них разница в возрасте всего два года.

[suyasuya9]

He is the king of figure skating !! This is the best performence in figure skating ever !!

[Nicoal1256]

OH SHUT UP COMMENTATOR WE DONT FREAKING CARE WE JUST WANT TO SEE HIM SKATE

[herfefeni17]

Ahh exquisit men

sorry ladies but like this guy said

as long as they are here we'll have the second place

[ja3399]

This was Alexei's time to skate his best, and he did. I respect Russian skaters's choices of shaking attire and costumes, but really do not understand those gloves (Michael Jackson was famous for a jewel glove, but what did this mean re: Russian skaters?). Alexei did not make any major mistake, so the gold was his. He and Plushenko were head and shoulders above all the other men in this competition, and in this entire competitive year. The bronze here was far below their mastery....

[Nilyore]

I like Plushenko and Weir and Lysacek but THIS is the true King of the Ice forever...

[pekekoko]

ＮＨＫ刈谷アナのコメントは愛が伝わってくるなぁ。

[saskiaburgermeister]

Wow, TAT has a giant mink coat in every color!

[TheSakuraFlower]

No guys seriously..he's the most complete and strong skater in history O.o

Amazing!

[3gatsunolion]

NHKで再放送してほしいな

[Chutson353]

No question who deserved won the gold this time - one of the greatest routines of all time.

[marishrf]

Леша лучший фигурист в мире.

[marishrf]

Леша лучший фигурист в мире.

Я его очень сильно люблю.

[ModestyBlaise2010]

@yngtxtopbear If you can't see and appreciate the brilliance of this program and the artistry, musicality, feeling and strength that Alexei shows in this number, then I feel sorry for you. Alexei, you are and will always be the greatest!!!

[ThisIsVize]

@yngtxtopbear and why is that so surprising? later that ear, during Worlds he got even more 6.0s for the performance of this program.

[toplay4fun2003]

the replay of the triple axel is just WOW! Perfect! i hope they use it as an instructional video for other skaters

[toplay4fun2003]

anyone know who the guy on the end is w/ the Canadian turtleneck on?

[SunlitIce]

@toplay4fun2003  Nikolay Morozov

[Jonni8325]

strong skating!

[AAME5716]

素晴らしいです。

恥ずかしながら、ここ数年で彼の存在を知りました。

現役時代を見られなかったのが残念ですが、記憶に残る演技をして­くれたおかげで、こうして見ることができました。

記録も大事だと思いますが、私は記憶に残る演技が好きです。

[kamehamehacant]

タラソワコーチだ♡

[TheCanzone1]

Yagudin is the BEST figure-skater EVER. He was and he is still the King of ice. Lesha. we do remember and love you!

[AAME5716]

何度見ても涙が出そうになる。

フィギュアっていいですね～。

[tamarafromhaldeman]

every time I see this I cry. what a genues !!!!

[100307atsu]

高難度のジャンプを含め、ひとつひとつの動きが美しい。スポーツ­面からみても、スケートとしての芸術面からみても、最高峰だと思­う。

[mungiuri]

he will always be my number 1 !!!

[xxemz19xx]

He still skate really amazing his luna 2009 performance was simply wonderful :D

[tamarafromhaldeman]

alexei yagudin always will be the One and only. Nobody ever will be like him - ever.!

[CknSalad]

men's figure skating is just not the same without Yagudin. :/

[Gold3nGirl]

This has been the standout performance for me in men's Olympic figure skating in the past decade. Alexei was perfect!!!

[alinoks]

Nothing compares to you!

[Lyminus]

I can't find necessary words, to describe his performance! it is fantastic! such as he, give birth one time of 500 years

[goalexei]

Thank you for posting/sharing this great quality recording. We can enjoy it even more than the other 2 existing recordings. Thanks!

[celebrityqueen713]

I can't believe that was 8 years ago! I still remember it!

[fanqz13]

His footwork is out of this world. Love it:):)

[Ninya84]

I love the part at 4:26 just before the last step sequence...the way he claps his hands together and is like "Yeah, I did it" <3

[tuan0807]

At the end of the program, a japanese announcer said "He was certain that he won a gold medal before the last step!".

He is a beautiful , powerful and perfect skater .

[pippacrawford]

I love Plushenko and rooted for him in 02, 06 and will do so on Tuesday, but Alexei Yagudin always had the better artistry. As much as I grudged it at the time, he deserved that gold, and his gold medal performance was better than Evgeny's in Turin. I think what Evgeny lacks is someone like Alexei who seriously challenged him. I miss Yagudin because now it seems all about the jumps.

[ammerocks]

I agree. I also rooted for Plushenko in 02 but after I saw this program I couldn't begrudge him the gold. He has elegance and ease that is sorely lacking in Plushenko's skating today (which is seriously technical, all about the points!)

[faeryquene]

Beautiful! Thanks for uploading this. At this angle (unlike NBC's) one can see Yagudin's gorgeous cascading quad-triple-double! On the NBC feed the camera was too close and you couldn't see his feed. OT but I want some of whatever Scott Hamilton was smoking at Salt Lake-to think that THIS could have been beaten by Timothy Goebel's competent athletically but artistically robotic program is laughable in the extreme. Timothy looked like a piece of stiff driftwood in between his quad jumps.

[Qbendanny]

Baryshnikov on ICE!!

That's how a man skates.

Not that silly girl Johnny Weir.

[JPPT1974]

Thanks for putting these up. I love his work too!

[juliacernii]

Are you stupid or what???He had a surgery on his knee...

[Chutkiiiii]

he is wonderful! can somebody tell me why he stopped skating? is it because of the alcohol?

i would have loved to see him compete against plushenko in vancouver

[SunlitIce]

What do you say ?!

Alexey had very serious trauma of a hip and has been compelled to leave sports and undergo an operation. Now he skates with an artificial joint of a hip.

He does good career on TV now.

He acts in films and is the television presenter.  And he skates much in different ice shows in pair and alone.

[SunlitIce]

You should see the channel from IceGLADIAT0R.

There is a lot of video that Yagudin does now:)

[Chutkiiiii]

aah alright! Thanks!

I m sorry I didnt meant to offend him (or you) in any way. I just didnt knew and thought i heard something about alcohol connected to him.

thanks again! (:

[Chutkiiiii]

and unfortunatly i dont understand a word they are saying in the videos of IceGLADIAT0R´s channel. I dont speak any russian ):

i do know njet :D

[SunlitIce]

Heh, I think there is not necessary to understand Russian, the main thing is can look:)))

Alexsei Yagudin is Алексей Ягудин ;)

[amnylee]

@Chutkiiiii it's japanese :p

[Starrynova]

@Chutkiiiii He's 30 years old. He can't compete professionally any longer

[Chutkiiiii]

@Starrynova I am sure he could! I mean he is great! and Plushenko is planning to come back for the next olympics at the age of 31!

[xxemz19xx]

@chutkiiiii He said he was preparing a comeback in 2007 but he decided it was too hard due to the fact he has had his whole hip replaced... this is the reason he no longer competes :(

But he was and is an amazing skater

[Chutkiiiii]

aww thats really a bummer!

but he still does great shows doesnt he? hes got his gold medal! (:

thank you!

[lorentina10]

@Chutkiiiii it was because of an injury you asshole not alcohol

[815Camilla]

@Chutkiiiii he had health problem with his hip

[dandownunder19]

Thanks so much for posting, Alexi is inspirational.  Still brings a tear to my eye when the 6.0's are announced.

[everyoneissleeping]

Yagudin is perfect :-) Thank you very much for posting, video quality is great!

[1987Alla]

Незабываемые мгновения ... И они навсегда останутся в сердцах миллионов людей!

Спасибо, Лёша!!!
