@crnchygranola : i would like to know.
-
Isabelle is soo pretty! (:
-
One more reason why I will always love the 80's :)
-
I liked it but it looked a little sloppy. Or maybe it was supposed to look that way, I don't know.
-
@cman80 For once in ice dancing, both technically and aesthetically, you eyes are on the guy and not the girl. He really did all the work in this skate!
-
@accw Well of course-it still has to be skated well but many professionals expressed their bewilderment at the marks awarded. The width and polarisation of the judges' marks reveals all: brilliant for some; skating anathema for others. A seminal moment in the sports' history.
-
@jafalad It is a very entertaining dance but keep in mind that the judges are supposed to look at the whole picture. If one partner has inferior technique the judges shouldn't be expected to sweep that under the rug.
-
Says as much that T and D apart, the only ice skating performance I ever remembered was this one. Although it wasn't reflected in the marks, the Ds created a whole new boundary for ice skating. It was more than edgy and different: it was what the future of ice dance could become. Still infuriates me years later that the judges' marks failed to recognise their performance that day.

This was the greatest ice dancing performance ever! Even though I was at home, I jumped up hooting and clapping after having seen it. I was so disappointed when the federation changed the rules because they were too conservative to accept such modern ideas and trends. I tried watching ice dancing through the next couple of years after that, but I have to tell you that I never found it entertaining enough after having seen this performance!! Thank you Duchesnays and Dean!!!!!!
