oh, i know - i cried like a baby when i heard sergei died. i still can barely watch their performances without crying. my favorites are their olympic golds, "vocalise", "porgy and bess", "the man i love", and "out of tears". i saw a comment the other day on a newer pairs performance - something about shen and xao being the best pairs skaters ever, and i had to STRONGLY rebuke them! and then there's this new world champ pair skating for germany - i watched their medal performance - (yawn) :)
the new chinese pairs are awesome for their power, and they even have speed, but they still don't compare to this (and G&G, of course) for unison, body carriage, and expression. they look like ballet dancers on ice - the chinese are starting to get the artistry, but they still seem to have an almost "military" quality. of course, G&G almost "made love" on the ice - their unison and expression was untouchable
utterly amazing. and most people have never heard of them or seen this. i am a huge G&G fan (in fact, i would have loved to have seen THEM do this program!), but THIS particular performance was so awesome. i will never forget watching it - her flexibility and his power - they were one of the best ever. he could make anyone look good, for that matter!
Simply the best. Even after all these years. I will never forget this performance.
