Watching them was always like watching a ballet on ice. No one could match their grace and passion. When I see what ice dancing has become with lots of fancy lifts and spins, it makes me want to cry. This truly was the golden age of ice skating and ice dancing.
I feel the same way about ice dancing. When they got rid of the compulsory dances, it was the last straw. It was the end for me. Its hard for me to watch it now. Its no longer ice dancing :(
Sophia B I completely agree! It was bad enough with the theatrical turn ice dancing took, away from its ballroom roots. The costuming, vocal music and "elements" such as spins & lifts, now required due to the STUPID new scoring system! When the compulsory dances were dropped, that was it! I no longer watch competitive figure skating. It has lost its purity & appeal for me. Sigh.....
Согласна, из фигурного катания ушло то изящество, та красота, которая раньше была. Это произошло после введения новой системы судейства, где упор сделан на технику. На этой Олимпиаде мне ещё понравилась танцевальная пара из Италии Шарлен Гиньяр - Марко Фабри , это был шедевр, как они смогли передать чувства, любовь, это был спектакль, великолепный спектакль. Я даже прослезилась от радости, так эмоции переполнили меня.
Браво, ребята вы так хороши. Просто спектакль посмотрела и вспомнила, что это было совсем недавно, но в тоже время очень давно. Просто настальгия по прошлому.
Александр и Майя просто опередили время вместе с тренером, Сейчас это стало настолько очевидно! Очень рад, что хоть Александр стал тренером Олимпийских чемпионов
Очень красивые и сложные поддержки у Жулина. Костюмы подчёркивают античную скульптурность тренированного тела.Майя здесь волшебная,глаз не оторвать.Дубовой спасибо за проникновенный танец.
Смотрела выступление и думала, что им было намного легче соревноваться, пока у власти были предатели горбачёв, потом ельцин. И как сложно спортсменам потом стало при Путине патриоте, державнике. Политика пришла в спорт и стали гадить России и в спорте.
This was back in the day when ice dancing was more interpretive and didn’t rely on music vocals to create atmosphere but it was also a time when winning was like a step increase at work . Your time would eventually come
Посмотрела сейчас одно за другим выступление Климовой-Пономаренко (а это было запредельное выступление) и Усовой-Жулина. Как бы и что бы ни было, программа Усовой-Жулина, может, уступает на йоту по фишкам, но так, как ставила Дубова скольжение танцорам, наверное, не ставил никто. Эта программа - шедевр.
Oh, that was amazing. Such an under appreciated team and such a shame they peaked at the same time as so many other wonderful teams. Because this, to me, is in no way a bronze-medal winning skate. This is classic, beautiful, legendary skating for which there is no high enough reward. They were phenomenal.
Artistically they were exquisite. But technically both their OD and FD were very noticeably lacking in content. I would've had them in 4th in the blues compulsory dance (Usova's choctaws were seriously bad), 4th in the OD behind K&P, G&P, and M&L (all 3 of these teams had far more ambitious ODs in terms of content) and 3rd in the FD behind K&P and G&P. If U&Z had skated more ambitious programs with greater content, I would've had them higher but they could very rarely skate such programs. The one time they did was in 1994 and look at how much their flow across the ice went down. They were beautiful performers but they were not the technical skaters that K&P or G&P were.
@@gk891this is helpful bc I feel like Tracy rarely taught me anything. She praised the difficulty of this dance. Was she just being nice or is she daft? Also, it seemed K&P watered down their FD to win the Olympics and I don't think I've seen a skater as bad as ID actually win medals so it's unclear how important that content actually was. I do think it's odd that U/Z received such low scores for their FD at 93 Worlds, at least for the second mark. I just watched the Duchesnays FD from 91 Worlds. The crowd was going crazy and aside from the last move, it felt like a train wreck to me. A funny one, but not one I'd be giving top marks. I feel like I'm missing something.
I used to watch ice skating when I was a teenager - and I loved it then. I have not been watching it so regularly for many years now but this performance has stayed with me since I was much younger - as one of very few, to be honest. I think it's not only beautiful, but also very moving... I still have thrills each time I watch it... Definitely one of the most memorable free dances ever...
Lidia Chymkowska mee tooo... I'm watching the Olympics now and the competition is boring so far and all just Latin dancing. Miss the artistic Russian energy and Ekat & Sergi !
My all-time favorite ice-dance free programm. Such smooth scating and refined choreography. I like them even more than Klimova and Ponomarenko altough they are outstanding, too.
@intldawn dont forget 94 Euroepans as well which was a crucial loss as it made the Olympic ice dance event wide open between them, the comebacking Torvill & Dean, and up and coming Gritschuk & Platov, where had they won as reigning World Champs as well they wuold have been clear favorites for the OGM.
Лучший танец и лучшее выступление на ОИ в Альбервиле. А в 1994 на ОИ были на сто миллионов "голов" сильнее Грищук и Платова. Пусть арбитрам будет стыдно за две украденные у Майи и Александра золотые медали.
Они должны были получить серебро! Если бы рос. ФФК подала протест, это был бы скандал покруче СЛС-2002! Французкий судья поставил К\П 5.5 за технику и 5.8 -Дюшене, у которых в ПТ было 3 ошибки! Просто смешно!
Они должны были получить не серебро, а золото. И постановка танца, и выступление гораздо лучше, чем у Климовой и Пономаренко. А в 1994 г. На ОИ были на сто миллионов "голов" сильнее Грищук и Платова. Пусть арбитрам будет стыдно за две украденные у Майи и Александра золотые медали.
I honestly tink this should have been tied with Klimova and Pomanrenko. The Duschaneays were tight and while it might ave been due to illness Isabelle looked out of it at times. Really U and Z were amazing - artistically and such wonderful nuances.
Artistically they were exquisite. But technically both their OD and FD were noticeably lacking in content, as is almost always the case with this couple.
Does it seem to anyone else that they nearly always had the misfortune of skating first in the final group, when the judges were still leaving marks at the top for their competitors? It feels like they hardly ever had the benefit of the judges saving the biggest marks for them: '91 Worlds, '92 Olympics, '93 Worlds (even though they won), '94 Olympics. Jeez, they were doubly unlucky throughout their career, it seems.
Artistically I agree with you but technically, this program didn't have the content of either Klimova & Ponomarenko or a developing Grishuk & Platov. They were still way better than the Duchesnays though. I honestly thought Isabelle & Paul should not have won a medal at these games.
I can't hear The Four Seasons for skating without picturing Surya Bonaly backflipping haha...great program here though, I liked it better than the gold medal one!
it's a sad commentary on the state of affairs that in today's russia - some 23 years later - zhulin's costume would be considered homosexual propaganda and banned by law :(
Fast forward to today: The irony of this comment and Zhulin's recent remarks toward skater Timothy LeDuc, who identifies as non-binary. Anyway, the propaganda law was never that draconian.

After the skategate scandal ice dancing is just pairs without triples
Фантастика! Они были лучшие! Что-то за гранью!
Прошло много лет,а смотришь и душа замирает от такой красоты.Какая скорость,какие движения,Жулин бесподобен,Майя красавица.
I agree with you. They are the best!
Просто дух захватывает и обо всем забываешь! Браво,браво,браво!
Браво, ребята вы так хороши. Просто спектакль посмотрела и вспомнила, что это было совсем недавно, но в тоже время очень давно. Просто настальгия по прошлому.
One of the most beautiful performances ever ❤️
Красивый танец, пересматриваю много раз. Спасибо.
Breathtaking, amazing, sublime !!
Wow what a beautiful pair of dancers, Zhulin and Maia always slaying, that was interpretation
Офигительная пара!!! Смотрела на одном дыхании...гениальный номер
Я восхищалась грацией и легкостью конька Т. Навки и Р. Костомарова. А сегодня я увидела откуда это. Восхитительно. Держит внимание до конца номера.
They just take me somewhere. They are absolutely beautiful
Майя самая красивая из жен.
GENIALNI!
Breathtaking 💕
Несколько раз пересмотрела,хочется смотреть и смотреть. вот бы Жулин повторил этот номер,будучи тренером,с другими фигуристами
Каждое движение отточено, пластика , мастерство на высшем уровне
Mesmerizing !!!
Саша - Аполлон. Майя - красавица. Каких прекрасных артистов и спортсменов воспитала Наталья Ильинична Дубова
A Masterpiece
That was just E P I C.........
Александр и Майя просто опередили время вместе с тренером, Сейчас это стало настолько очевидно! Очень рад, что хоть Александр стал тренером Олимпийских чемпионов
Очень красивые и сложные поддержки у Жулина. Костюмы подчёркивают античную скульптурность тренированного тела.Майя здесь волшебная,глаз не оторвать.Дубовой спасибо за проникновенный танец.
Masterpiece on ice
Незабываемый танец!!!
Благодарю Вас за Видео и Танцы Шедевр. Всего самого наилучшего вам в жизни Успехов во всем Счастья Любви Радости вам всего доброго и хорошего в жизни.
прям на одном вздохе
Они могли бы станцевать Гамлета, ромео и джульетту...По глубине, драматизму, скульптурности образов они невероятны! Огромное спасибо их тренеру!
Ромео и Джульетту они танцевали на одном из Чемпионатов
Невероятно! Это намного выше и интереснее того, что мы видим сейчас. Их никто не превзошел!
Для тех лет это просто шедеврально!
Я считаю,что русским все время занижали оценки..Здесь пара "танцует ", просто,ШЕДЕВРАЛЬНО! Должны быть оценки 6.0 и 5.9..
Смотрела выступление и думала, что им было намного легче соревноваться, пока у власти были предатели горбачёв, потом ельцин. И как сложно спортсменам потом стало при Путине патриоте, державнике. Политика пришла в спорт и стали гадить России и в спорте.
@@ptvkzybrf1 точно, они сволочи паскудные пакостники.
@@GallinaGarkina да, Галина.
Шедевр,, браво.какая красивая пара. Номер чудо!!!оценки очень низкие,за такой прокат должны быть оценки только 6.0

Богом данная женщина ,не оценил не понял,от этого столько ошибок,а сейчас у Александра очень несчастные глаза.
And to think Maia during this time was putting up with his philandering to win medals.. you would never have known it from their performances
Очень сильно
Ничего не видел красивее в танцах на льду. Комментаторы абсолютно правы. Shame on judges
👍👏
Какая кульминация...Мурашки.
Настоящий балет на льду
🎉классика
Танцуют классно,а костюмеры все испохабили. Вид костюмов мерзкий.
Почему он это нынешним парам не ставит?
они и технически слабее чем К&D и артистичность слабее и вообщн я эту программу не поняла. вполне достойны того что получили
А что, вы можете станцевать лучше?
@@user-hq9zb6on6k фигуристы могут.

A masterpiece on ice. They made some movements way toó dificultad to be performed on ice...just awesome!
Просто фантастический танец! Просто шедевр! Они опережали время в этом танце, и я думаю, что, если бы катали эту прграмму на ОИ-1994, то выиграли бы!
My all-time favorite ice-dance free programm. Such smooth scating and refined choreography. I like them even more than Klimova and Ponomarenko altough they are outstanding, too.
A masterpiece. Incredible incroyable breathtaking
I miss seeing skaters like these.....
Как красив здесь Жулин! Zhulin is very handsome here!
this program attracted me into the ice dancing world.before then, ladies single was only one to me.
Usova has a young Sophia Loren lookalike. This programme is beautiful.
So, I thought forever that I didnt like anything that they did. I was wrong. This was phenomenal!
I love this program
Clapping, Cheers!!!... Awesome! Incredible! Beautiful!! Stunning! Have a covered it? Smile...

i have only one part of this program at NHK torophy, i searched and searched where i can get whole from US, but i gave up･･･such a treasure
Absolutely robbed of the silver medal.....
perfecrtion !

True but I think Zhulin sleeping around with both Oksana Grishuk and Tatiana Navka probably hurt them even more.
Они для меня были лучшие, их обокрали..
лучше Климовой и Пономаренко? нет, увы, но лучше них они не были.
@@winter-sportfun435 Полностью согласна с вами.

Программа прекрасная, а костюмы не очень.
Я видела немного видео их выступлений, у Жулина все костюмы такого типа?
В сети есть исполнение этого танца в других костюмах.
I can't hear The Four Seasons for skating without picturing Surya Bonaly backflipping haha...great program here though, I liked it better than the gold medal one!
I think Surya used this same exact cut and arrangement of Vivaldi's Four Seasons for her future free-skate

+Tal Mamatov Pity, he looks amazing in it
Fast forward to today: The irony of this comment and Zhulin's recent remarks toward skater Timothy LeDuc, who identifies as non-binary. Anyway, the propaganda law was never that draconian.
I believe that after this that the men were banned from wearing tights in ice dancing competitions. He certainly did look good in those tights.
the best ass in figure skating at the time
they were robbed of the silver ...dance is the most egregious when it comes to cheating.
