Peggy Fleming Madison Square Garden

This piece strikes me as classical greek sculpture, yet movable. 2,000 years from now some archeologist will dig up a computer disk of this, and wonder what kind of gods we were worshipping! There is not a moment in this program that can't be frozen and turned into a Michaelangelo.

There will never be another Peggy Fleming. But Kim Yu-na definitely brings back the element of grace and is definitely a throwback to Peggy's classic style.

Yes, but I find Yuna very intriguing! Love the flirtatious eyes....you can tell she has read a few books, and at least knows what is behind her performances.....thanks for commenting best wishes

Thank you ! The epitome of grace and beauty! As a little girl, I always wanted to be her. As an adult woman, I'd be satisfied if I could even WALK this gracefully! Your show of elegance is grately appreciated !

nice to hear from you frederica! I have a 1965 picture of me as an 8 year old, in roller skates on our front porch in Carmi, Illinois......in my mind, i was pretending to be Peggy Flemming as well (winning 8 World championships in a row!!)

[bobking84]

have you seen her lately? my goodness, at age 61 or 62 or whatever she is, she remains absolutely gorgeous.

sasha cohen has it roz sumners nicole bobek if she is still skating lisa marie allen they know as roz says that a triple jump does not make the better skater and of course dorothy hamill and the incredible legendary janet lynn but janet skated like no one else ever could

I definitely think that figure skaters these days have sacrificed elegance, beauty, and grace for athleticism and jumping. Not a good trade-off, if you ask me--although I do think Yamaguchi is probably the best of both worlds.

i can't believe peggy fleming is actually that beautiful then!

[dvdneely]

You are correct K9 - this is true art in motion, sublime perfection. if only young skaters would pay attention
