Irina Slutskaya 2000 Grand Prix Final 2000 [GPF 2000]

A fantastic performance of Irina Slutskaya that drops her from 2nd to 1st overall!
In this program she did 7 triple jumps, including two successfull 3-3 combinations [3lutz+3loop & 3sal+3loop] and fenomenal spins :D

Before Kwan's induction into the Figure Skating Hall of Fame, she was interviewed by the Chicago Tribune, and she was asked who she respected the most as a competitor, and she said "Irina Slutskaya." She said that in the locker room they were both very serious and focused, but that they both admired each others' talents immensely. She even said that she and Irina still keep in touch as friends to this day. Kwan said Irina always asks her "when are you gonna get married." Haha.

@MissGreenDay7 It is always nice to see them together even though they had a great rivalry. I wonder what they were saying.

[@MissGreenDay7]

I've never seen two skaters sit together while they're waiting for one of their marks.

[@cdricgay]

what a jumper !!!

[@hrjr2009]

great skate, but i'm still shocked they count that as being completed...she was clearly underrotated on the lutz combo...

[@ravuthlong7783]

Lolz, she underrotated both 3 loops of her 3-3 jumps

[@sergeygorsht1676]

+Moon Light lol is your comment, if only because in five years nobody wrote like yours.

[@osmotreno]

+Moon Light no, she had underrotation only on 3Lz-3Lo.

[@user-cd5xj9zz9o]

3Lz -3Lo was under rotated but 3S 3Lo was great.

5.8s for technical merit. Are those judges on crack. Tech. has to be 5.9 or 6.0.
