Wonderful! And... its very normal to have mistakes and I know how hard it is to figure skate so her performance is very beautiful and excellent.

She's always had fantastic edging, which allows her to skate with great speed and have very secure jumps.

She is such a beautiful skater! However i wish she would've done an arabesque spiral in it. That would've fit the music much better than a beilmann. I mean like yes, the beillmann is a nice move but she should've had an arabesque as well, i think it would've added a lot more to the performance.

It was a beautiful performance but there was just no beating Sasha that night. Sasha skated the cleanest long program of her career and when Sasha skates clean, she's almost unbeatable.

I love Button's comment about her being an "introspective" skater. She's as unpretentious as she is talented.

i think thah the triple triple seh executed here was the better she ever done. surelly all the rotations were completed. good performance overall

If you compare this to her Olympic performance you can see how the new judging system has taken a lot of the artistry and emotion out of figure skating. Both this and her 2004 Worlds performance were better, in my opinion, than her winning Olympic program.
