Very rare footage of renowned choreographer and skating commentator Sandra Bezic who skated pairs with her brother Val, competing at the 1971 Worlds in Lyon, France. The commentator for this performance is the 1949 European Champion and 1948 Olympic and World silver medallist, Dr Eva Pawlik of Austria.

They were charming and so graceful, Sandra and Val! I loved them very much and it was a pleasant surprise for me to see their video! Thank you very much for posting this!

Gorgeous, elegant skating with tremendous line and stretch. They both look over six feet tall.

They are both so utterly beautiful and their skating is stunning.

I'd forgotten about the days when excellent skaters were underscored like Sandra and Val. What a shame!

Skating pace was slower then...and more graceful

I recognise part of the music from Karen Preston's 1991-1992 SP, I wonder if Sandra suggested the music to her? I think it's from Glazunov's The Seasons.

skatingcritic1 That is exactly the music.

I love the use of Brahm's 1st Piano Concerto in the beginning.

I know nothing about skating, but even I KNOW these marks were WAY TO LOW :-\

The reputation of a skater had a lot to do with their scores! Where were they ranked globally?

is it me or was this really long?

It _is_ the Long Program.

@asa3409 4 жыл бұрын

Matthew Hines I think it seems longer since they’re not doing tricks/elements packed in back to back.

@timothyhh 3 жыл бұрын

The pairs long program might've been 5 minutes at this time. I know the mens free program was 5 minutes until the 1980-81 season when it went down to 4:30.

It felt long to me also because of that uninspiring music.

@matthewhines9787 3 жыл бұрын

@@RaymondHng Actually, it's because it was an extra minute longer.

They should have tried ice dancing!

This is the gold medal performance, and even this in places reminds me somewhat of ice dance than contemporary pairs figure skating: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZacoZB1tri3aWg.html

They didnt have their gold dances..at least Val didnt. We both tried our Quickstep at the same test day a couple of years after this video.
