Great program for them. I love their chemistry. She is always looking up at him.

[violayan]

It definitely is. You can see the trust, dependence & love in her eyes for him. :)

[zhihuih]

Does anybody know the name of the music?

[violayan]

"Kismet" by BOND.

[pdgf]

could someone upload the event i don't know exactly what year or what event, but I think it was the first time these two were on the Olympics and they had the best performance but didn't win any medal perhaps because the judges think they were just new to the competition. Thanks. I just remember that they had this spectacular throw.

[violayan]

You mean in 1998 Nagano?

wow, she's a jerk - "i want to send the entire chinese team home to work on their spins"

[StewNWT]

I`d forgotten how awesome this music was. Scott Hamilton needs to be put on prozac.

I really wish she hadn`t lost the edge on the throw quad cause she landed it and then it went off. And if anyone deserved to land it it`s them.

why deduction is on the presentation mark instead of technical merit? I mean they made a mistake on the spin.

@mlc2005 oh okay. thanks for the information. makes so a lot of sense. gah, i love commentators but not when they are destroying the performance.

[mlc2005]

@oesdoob: Yeah, Peggy Flemming has way too much class to make snotty comments about a skater's supposed weakness. Even when Peggy points out a flaw, she tries to do it ever so nicely (that's why she was such a great spoiler for Button's gruff approach).

Sandra Bezic was completely unmemorable as a skater (unlike Flemming), and if it were not for her later choreography, would have been completely forgotten long ago.

[mlc2005]

It really annoys me when mediocre, second rate skaters, i.e. Sandra Bezic, are given a podium from which to criticize other skaters.

[royalbattle]

Sandra Bezic is such a douche bag. I really wish they would ban her from commentating because she is so bias and really tells the truth of what is going on the ice.

Hmm.... Sandra Bezic and Scott Hamilton, not my favourite commentators - really like the British Eurosport guys (but, I am British so maybe biased!) and Tracey Wilson of Canada. BUT, always loved Shen and Zhao - especially Xue Shen, she really has presence on the ice, and a great athlete.

[oesdoob]

@JMNYC84 oh okay thank you! i still love this pair. im so glad they won last year. (:

maybe her comment pushed them to work even harder.

[JMNYC84]

@oesdoob That is not Peggy Fleming, the commentator is actually Sandra Bezic. She was a Canadian pairs skater. She is a choreographer now.

The are much better than the Americans. Much much better even the American commentator would not say so.
