This remains my favourite Slutskaya lp.

technical 5.8, artistic 6.0
it is sincere and real skating, unlike Americans.who smiles and emotions are not real, and "glued"to thier faces
-
She is Beautiful and this is art on ice. The music and his performance were amazing!!!
-
She was so fast.... Should have got the bronze.. Chen lu only got it because she had already won worlds. And all of Chen lu's jumps were cheated
-
IRINA!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
-
She is very artistic!!!! a great program! adorable girl!!! she is the best!!!

@yngtxtopbear - I disagree that this routine was uninspired. Yes, she was still somewhat young at this time and not quite fully-matured. But she skated with alot of speed and energy in this routine...and her jumps, with the exception of the flip, were exceptional. She deserved the bronze over Lu Chen, hands down.

@yngtxtopbear I did not see an uninspired performance. I saw a performance with alot of energy and spirit, and a great deal of determination to step up in a big moment after a decline in results the last couple seasons. Yes the artistry wasnt great, but none of the girls other than Lipinski and Kwan had a complete package that night anyway. I still think she deserved to beat Lu and Maria since Lu technical is weak and Maria made major mistakes. All 3 were close though, hence the split.

@lambielkwanfan yes but this routine was SOOO uninspired. I felt no artistry...

@yngtxtopbear since technically she was far better than Maria and Lu and artistically this was a charming program and not that bad either. Lu wa pathetic technically even with a fairly clean skate. Her spins by 98 were a joke and her jumps were barely complete or underotated. Maria was capable of better but as usual made alot of mistakes and fell apart with nerves in the long program.
it's interesting to see she failed the triple flip in every olympics she was in, here in nagano also in salt lake and she doubled it in Torino, and the flip also was the jump Michelle had trouble with in the 3 olympics, she had a shaky landing here, a fall in salt lake and it was the flip the jump that made Michelle realized she wasn't goona be able to compete in 2006. what a jump.
