Какая она здесь красивая, изящная, тонкая, очень музыкальная. И какой же совестью нужно обладать, чтобы за эту красоту ставить 5.0.

Маша и Елена Анатольевна! Вы представили такую грациозную и прекрасную программу. Вы обогатили этот мир красотой..

Спасибо за видео. Катание Марии завораживает. Красота спасёт этот мир.

С удовольствием посмотрела программу. Мария прекрасна!

Машенька умница! Всегда за тебя болела!!!

Мария очень недооценонная фигуристка!

How Sarah Hughes’s problem-filled program was ahead of this performance is always beyond me.

Ну 5.0 это какой такой идиот из судей поставил, она прекрасно откатала- иногда хочется кричать судей на мыло

Браво Мария

Best figure skater ever!!!! She should have won a medal here.... Corupted judges.

Those commentators were bias idiots...And so were the judges. Maria was the most beautiful artist on ice.

Б Р А В О.

29 лет выступать на Олимпиаде!!! Однодневок не было...Катание было женским...А щас 20 лет уже на помойку списывают

Подскажите что за музыка?

Такое ощущение, что оценки ставили, кто как хотел! Расхождения в 9 десятых........беЗпредел...

点が低すぎて可哀想。 きっちりルッツとフリップの踏み分け出来てるし、 回転不足もないのに5.0とか5.2とか不当に低い。

Это что там за судьи и что за оценки?

The comments were a little harsh, no?

I was rooting for her! But this short program didn't feel like a Butyrskaya program. It lacked her normal zazazoo.

Италия позавидовали

Не идиот поставил 5.0, а тот, кто опозорил себя до конца жизни... как же он ненавидит красоту

5.4/5.7. I love Maria but this was technically a relatively weak program. Not a great landing on the flip, poor-quality spiral sequence and layback, slower and less assured than she usually is.

Scott: "Every element delivered beautifully" Me: "i just threw up in my mouth a little bit."

Like a dump truck on ice

eh i can see why she never got a medal in the olympics .

1 kwan 5.7/5.9 2 irina 5.8/5.7 3 sasha 5.7/5.8 4suguri 5.6/5.6 5 sarah 5.5/5.7 6maria 5.4/5.7

She is beautiful but her moves are too mechanical.

Моя любимая фигуристка!Лиричная,артистичная,с отличной хореографией!Балерина на льду! Восторженные чувства, восхищенье Испытываю, глядя на экран... Порою замираешь от волненья За каждого, кто праздник дарит нам. Здесь мастерство, отточенность движений, Софитов свет, коньки и синий лёд, Прекрасные и чудные мгновенья! Фигурное катанье - чувств полёт! Гармония во всём, и нет сомненья, Что это настоящий звёздный бал. Он подарил всем радость, наслажденье, А звёздный лучик в сердце нам попал. Куликова Ирина

Maria Butyrskaya is very charismatic, I wish there were more videos of her and in HD.

Какая красивая Мария, все в ней красиво и платье и движения и музыка всегда изысканная.

Absolutely underscored

This program makes me emotional, it's sad because you can see the age difference between young skaters and old skaters. She is a true rebel and veteran

Hi Maria, Very good technical level at that time. An artistic impression that stands out even after so many years. She was, and I am your admirer. Anna

у Маши всегда постановки отличались от своих же предыдущих! И на это всегда было приятно смотреть! Посмотрите на Кван..... даже рисунок программы практически никогда не менялся! по сути она меняла только музыку!

5.2 and 5.0 for required elements were way too low.

her beauty was special!!

Были времена когда катание было женским,а не детским.

Scott & Sandra's critique of her program was actually very professional analysis. They were very fair in their analysis. It was a well constructed program, but it was not skated with ease. Very slow & very tepid. Her marks were fair

Indeed, she lacked ease, and her 2 triples were a bit jerky. As always looked nervous. But overall, this program should have at least been 4th. I think after finishing 3rd at 2000 Worlds, 4th at 2001 Worlds, and not really doing well during her GP Finals, the judges were just tired of expecting from her and her not delivering. However, I was a big fan of hers. She deserved all the love her fans showed for her.

She was so severely underscored even though she was the only one -out of the top 5- who performed a triple lutz on an outside edge. Slutskaya, Cohen, Hughes all flutzed. I hated her dress here, though.

This is my second comment. Excellent artistic performance. Anna

Ha,ha stupid commentators! What a beautiful program...I really miss her skating...ballet on ice.

I kind of wish Medvedeva would have gone back to this music for her 2018 Olympics short program

Can I also ask why you don't have her long program? NBC did air it.

Her speed & flow across the ice are stellar. This was refined, elegant & mature skating. Much better than Hughes whose skating lacked refinement. They are seriously trashing her. This woman is 30 + years old making history with this fine performance. Instead of embracing this it is condemned. Skating is a crap sport.

I miss Maria too, she was so graceful - my favourite figure skater of this era. It should have given her 3rd place in short, judges undermarked her for some only known to them reason - surely some bias, I don't understand how biased are those stupid American commentators are either - it is disgusting.

Nice jumps and spins, but the spiral sequence and footwork sequence were weak compared to what she accomplished in her short programs in previous seasons (e.g., 2000). Also, Maria's short programs usually were great to watch in terms of artistry, but this short program's choice of music and choreography didn't really do it for me.

I've always thought she was clutzy in some of her movements, especially when she lands a jump. Then there are her hands and fingers which often resemble claws the way she moves them.

I'd have put this 3rd behind Sluts and Cohen. Kwan underrotated the flip and Hughes' could only do a flutz. I think the points system we have today would have thrown up a different result here.

She should have been placed in 3° ... With Slutskaya in 1° and sahsa in 2° place

WOW, after all the pairs' scandal and discussion, the 'block' was still alive and well. And no one said anything!!!! So these kids suffered in silence like so many others over the years. All the other judges were in line, but the Russian, Dane, and Belorussian judges were way out. No way this performance merited a 5.7 technical, but it sure wasn't 5.0, either! I think 5.4 was about right, from my armchair. That being said, according to Scott, "nothing was truly special" (this wasn't her best, but she was special, in her day!). Scott, you got on my last nerve! Ego had taken over and turned him into a cruel jerk. Plus he was never a good commentator, anyway.

Why does she hike up her dress at the end? Showing the judges a little leg?

Is it just me or is Scott just rude and biased when he talks about the skaters in the later yrs of his commentary?

Nothing was special?? Try the overall elegance along with the flow and choreography seamlessly integrated into every move.

This was Butyrskaya's weakest short program by a mile (little speed, spirals were poor, layback to end was poor). I wish she would have come up with something much different for her final season, and I wish she would show a little more happy emotion at the end of her clean skate. She's kinda just like 'eh whatever' at the end here. It's not worth it to even imagine what could have been if IJS was in place, but I'd guess Hughes would be behind Butyrskaya, Sebestyen, Suguri, and even Meier.

На фоне сегодняшнем старая тетка ,сейчас в 16 уже заканчивают карьеру

I don't think she could have chosen a more unflattering look for herself. The costume is so ugly it's distracting, and I'm not a fan of beige skates. I think she had the burden to come up with something different for she was criticized for reusing programs for multiple seasons. I also think the success Scene D'Amour made her compelled to choose another soft piece of music. I loved her sexy, sultry short programs. Her 98 season short program despite it's inconsistency is still my favorite.

i don t understand the marks. 5.6 and 5.8 for me. the judge of italy was a fucking bad judge

"Nothing truly special" my ass!!!

Мария Бутырская должна была бороться за 1 место на этой Олимпиаде вместе с Сарой Хьюз. Кто из них лучше - дело вкуса. У Сары сильнее показана прыжковая часть, у Марии - всё остальное. Мне всегда было ближе катание Маши Бутырской. Но в США 1 место в любом случае дали бы американской спортсменке. М. Бутырская вряд ли бы подавала протест из-за 2 места и устраивала скандал. Так что судьям надо быть более разборчивыми в выборе призеров ОИ. Им должно быть стыдно за свою продажность и за свои оценки.

"nothing was truly special"? what an a**hole

4:43 Slutskaya's haircut is LOL funny! LMAO!!

Seriously, what is up with Scott and Sandra's bashing when it comes to the Russians? Unbeliveable...

Sorry but Butyrskaya can't be placed at third. Kwan should. And Hughes shouldn't be placed at 9th. Therefore, your ranking makes no sense.

Jerky, uneasy, nervous, whatever, she was a talent...obviously. Undermarked and the commentating overly critical.

To me this should've scored first.. I'm sorry.. This program is truly unique..truly special..and tells a story of depth.. Scott Hamilton absolutely is the worse commentator.. Fyi.. What was so special about his Olympic overly flawed program btw..

Russian and Belarus judges ranked her ahead of Cohen and Kwan(!) LOL

Примитивное катание! За неимением ничего лучшего и рак- рыба! Куда ей до Родионовой, Погорилой, Медведевой? Раздражают её высказывания знатока о проблемах нашего ФК! Вот нашла себе мужа- малолетку и весь в этом её уровень и человека, и фигуристки!
