What song was this to? It's so mysterious sounding... would be great in a movie.

@atomicLogic Evgeny Doga's Waltz from "My Tender and Affectionate Animal" (Вальс из к/ф "Мой ласковый и нежный зверь") available on iTunes.

How do you spell perfection?....SASHA COHEN!!!!!!!!!! This performance was SO deserving of first place. What a rip off. After short, the appropriate placement would have been....Sasha first, Irina second, tie for third by Michelle or Sarah but maybe a nod to Sarah.

@getrealandsee wow. you sound mature. Well, lets see how long you will be mature before another round of insults will hurl out of your mouth. And I take to heart that you are extremely gracious to allow yourself the maturity to honor Sarah for her gold medal win, because she worked so hard where she wanted to be. Sarah deserved a whole lot more. Respect is also what SHE rightfully earned.

@anne91276 Well, Sarah for absolutely sure is a wonderful role model...the whole Hughes family is a class act...I just love Sasha and certainly my saying that Sasha is a role model doesn't mean that I don't think Sarah is as well...Sasha skated so gracefully and beautifully here it was breath taking...she deserved the Bronze but well...you know how that went. Sasha is such a talented and graceful skater....she is poetry in motion and a lovely young woman:)

[anne91276]

getrealandsee Not really. Sarah, was the real role model. Why? She had contributed her time and effort, she represented and championed the sports, supported charitable organizations and spent her spare time doing things she loved to do. She is highly intelligent, articulate and was very much devoted to her studies. Michelle Kwan was doing other things as well and Sasha, who just wasn't simply as stellar as she was supposedly was. Michelle also did her share of representing elite athletes.

Regardless of what titles or medals Sasha did or didn't win, this is one of the most beautiful performances from any skater I have ever seen. The expressions on her face are so lovely & the spins are just incredible. One of my all time favorite performances from ANYONE!

@getrealandsee Who cares whether or not you will ever concede that the judges were right in not awarding her the bronze? You are the same person who calls Sasha the best skater ever, despite the fact that she's never won a world title..something even Kimmie Meissner managed to do. You are the same person who believes Brian Orser is more accomplished than TWO TIME Olympic champion, Dick Button. It's clear that you know absolutely nothing about the sport.
