I really liked and still like to watch them...their performances were always great pleasure to admire.....thay were so perfectly prepared.....they are missed all over the world...wish they were still performing as a pair...all the best for both of you in your life :-)))

They did not invent hydroblading....they popularized it in competition but it had been done in exhibitions and by singles skaters before.
-
And p.s...as for having their own unique style....Bourne and Kraatz dominate as far as creativity, artistry, strength, and innovation. Not only did they invent hydroblading, but their footwork and lifts are superior. Programs like Riverdance, the Michael Jackson medley, and this Adagio of the 21st century are only a few examples of their unique contributions to figure skating and culture in general. They are un traditional and have changed the sport forever!!!!

This was one of my favourite moments in figure skating. After the 1998 and 2002 scandals, it's nice to see the judges finally came to their senses.
And, um...xxlxenaxx, seriously "the judges were going for Canada for some reason"???? How about they were going for Russia for almost 40 years!!! The ONLY North Americans to ever win ice dancing at worlds....That's saying something. Shae and Vic are the BEST ice dancers in the world, and no amount of corruption will EVER change that!

I love how Kraatz pulls Denkova's pony-tail out of the ribbon on her medal.

The 1998 Olympics in Nagano.

When exactly did B&K get screwed by vote swapping, repeatedly even?
Call it poetic justice for the many years that Bourne & Kraatz were screwed by vote swapping and block judging. The Russians got a taste of their own medicine.
