Watching Twoset got me more focused on the music portrayal aspect when evaluating a performance, and inTreSTiNgly my pov often differs from some of the other judges… So I wonder how other classical music fans think about these iconic programs: This includes how the skaters portray the music with the choreography, their body movements, musicality (yes we talk about musicality too), etc.

In 2002 Miki Ando became the first woman to successfully land a quad jump in competition.Īnd check out Nathan Chen from the USA, referred to as the “quad king” for his ability to land all quad jumps, (aside from that impossible axel!) At the PyeongChang Olympics in 2018 Chen gave an historic performance when he landed six quads in his free skate.In figure skating we IDEALLY cough cough judge not just the skaters’ athletic techniques but also their artistic performance.
Since then quad jumps are becoming more common for male competitors, although no one has ever successfully completed a quadruple axel in competition. Mao Asada from Japan once landed a record-breaking three triple axels in her routines at the 2010 Winter Olympics, including two in her free skate:Ģ010 Winter Olympics – Ladies’ Long Program – Asada Mao – YouTubeĬanadian Kurt Browning was the first person to land a quad jump (a toe loop) in competition, in Budapest in 1988. Tonya Harding, mentioned above, originally shot to fame for her ability to land a triple axel, but her legacy was cemented not by her skating achievements, but by her suspected involvement in an attack on her competitor Nancy Kerrigan.

It was just seven weeks after an attack left her with an horrific knee injury, but she still won the silver medal. Torvill & Dean Bolero 1984 Olympic Winning Routine – YouTubeĪfter all the DRAMA with Tonya Harding (if you don’t know, watch the film I, Tonya – it’s awesome) Nancy pulled off a spectacular performance at the 1994 Olympics. And it was performed on Valentine’s Day too! (I’m not crying…) Of course this had to be top of my list! Their world famous routine to Bolero by Ravel won them a perfect score and earned them a place in ice skating history.
