Oooh...this reply is late. My apologies.
Anyway, Sulababe, I can't believe these pics! I LOVE them (the Elvis, the Phillipe, Brasseur and Eisler (which scared me...I forgot they had switched clothes. I thought she was swinging him!), Shae and Vic, Michelle....) *sigh* Looks like SUCH an amazing show!
Elvis always DOEs put on a great show. I think everyone knows how much heart he has and they really appreciate it. He always looks like he's enjoying his skating. I won't even get started on how he was robbed in '94. It'll take too long...grrrr.
Sual - I miss Natalia too! Don't get me wrong, what's-her-face is good as Artur's partner, but for me at leat, Natalia was the original, and I'll always see her in a better light.
I wish I could have seen Shae and Vic...I've never seen them live, I've always wanted to.
And ALEXEI (Yagudin)...what would I have given to see him!! (although I like his long program better than his short).
Glad to hear there were triples thrown in. I don't always appreciate exhibition skating b/c they 'dumb it down' so much. I know artistry is important, but I like technical merit. I'm not saying, "DO the Quad" but at least TRY a triple or two (this includes the women).
Phillippe...what can I say? That whole strip-down thing, with the kiss the girl act. He does it all the time. And somehow, it never gets tiring...
That ankle spin is the coolest...esp now that he does it, and then manages to get up from it, before going back down. WOW!
Okay, my thoughts, over.
