Can't believe she was going for quads with that insane braid in her hair.

Bonaly was a real challenger, and we have to appreciate her effort. I often feel umcomforrtable when I see no dark skined skaters in the world competition games.

@bryan21tx Don't forget about the last small bit of Spartacus at the end

@ fiercefunky, it's The Feeling Begins by Peter Gabriel. It's from The Last Temptation of Christ OST.

@bryan21tx Can you please tell me, what is the piece of music that starts at 2:15? The name and who it's commonly performed by, if you know. Thank you.

Surya summed up Kwan's greatest programs before Kwan ever competed in the senior ranks: Salome, The Feeling Begins, and Scheherazade all in this program!

@metsdudenj And what has bouyancy got to do with figure skating? Incredible as it may seem to an ignorant racist like you, we actually skate over frozen ice and we don't swim in it! Muscle density - well again as strange as it may seem to a non-skater like you, we actually need very strong and dense muscles to take off for triple and quad jumps - have you ever seen a skater's legs?

[metsdudenj]

@npe1 Check online for bouyancy rates and bone density and muscle denseness

[npe1]

@metsdudenj What utter nonsence! And your scientific evidence for all these sweeping stereotypical racist comments is exactly what?

[metsdudenj]

Blacks have denser bodies and denser bones so they dont float as easily so that is why they are not made for swimming. In terms of Skating, they are also usually too thick for it as well.

@metsdudenj Hmmm - black skaters have won more international championship titles than Korean skaters or Polish skaters, but I don't hear you putting forward irrational racial stereotypes there. No Japanese skater won an international medal up to 33 years ago when Minoru Sano won bronze in '77 Worlds, how times have changed. A person's race has absolutely nothing to do with their ability to skate or indeed their ability to do any sport or anything for that matter.

@npe1 Black athletes traditionally are not strong in skating and swimming. I know all too well about Debi Thomas, the skater who beat Katarina Witt when she fell in the SP at the 86 worlds. One athlete among 400 million black people in the world.
