Pure artistry here, mesmerizing!! My favourite SP of all time, even with the little two-foot.

I was amazed by this as a 12 year old...and watching it now still takes my breath away. unbelievable how graceful and perfect she looked at ALL times

[SxyChicDisney]

is that where she wears the white swan outfit?

[2levina]

yes, you're the only one who thinks that. It's some nastiness in your mind.

[urgonnawishuweredead]

this is swan lake by Tchaikovsky. she also dances to The Dying Swan by Saint Saens but thats a different performance

I do love this program, but am I the only one that thinks its a bit bitchy to do the whole "waiting to go out on the ice". I mean, come on. It's almost like a fuck you to the audience. It seems calculated to me.

@dylanvalente Both had great lutzes. Oksana in particularly had a HUGE lutz in her LP. She soared that sucker.

In the replays you can see that Oksana (as well as Nancy) went into the lutz from the proper outside edge.

It is most definitely Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, it's an edit from the 'Pas de Deux'. Plus if you know the story told in this ballet, there's a white swan and a black swan, which is what Oksana was portraying.

The Swan by Saint Saens was her Exhibition program. This is from Swan Lake the ballet, with music by Tchiakovsky. I'm an orchestral musician and have played this music. I win.

Also this is not Swan Lake, it's The Swan

[octopussy1234]

um, this is by Saint Saens, actually.

natasha wins.
