Mandi Lu Why Why Why did they cut out the spirals?!?!? I will never understand

to make more time for jumps

The spiral sequence should be given a lot more points so we can see more of them!

Me too....... Me too

Personally, I feel like the last skater to hold a long spiral sequence recently would be Mao Asada

Надо смотреть Русское фигурное катание

@stephanie9089 I completely agree with you! Sasha was special ❤

Yet it does not touch you. It leaves one cold. MK's spiral, on the other hand, not only had superior edge quality, ice coverage, speed, but more importantly was done with wonderful heart and emotion.

Qacc6 Yes, however in terms of line, stretch and flexibility, Sasha has Michelle beat.

but troy, spirals are not about flexibility or stretch, they are about edges. and Sashas spirals almost always done on an improper edge.

Troy Turner there just not gonna let you live

@@tmott8870 They are about all those things. They are certainly about flexability and stretch, as well as edges and flow.

Me!!

Me!!

Exactly 💯

Absolutely agree

Still don't understand how her program components were always on the lower end. I think she mastered this aspect. She will still always be the most prolific female figure skater for millions

I know omg!!

Superhuman! ❤

Irina made a better spins.

That she was! Malaguena... need I say more?

@@Bnizzofashizzo Malagueña*

She's the reason I pursued figure skating when I was a teen. 👑

I think she pushed the sport to new heights!

I’ll never understand this comment. Such a short career and was a bad jumper but the best skater of all time? Yea okay. I believe Kwan would have something to say about that. People look at that WOW of her flexibility and think that equals greatness. I personally found her artistically FLAT. She never had the ability to PULL you into a program like a Kwan.

@@YouAreMySunshine2 what? Are you talking about Sasha? She still did really well

Don't you think Sasha's spiral sequence and footwork look like Michelle's style ?

You keep going everywhere making the same comments and the entire commentary has the answer but yet you still try to discredit Sasha by comparing her to Michelle. Don't you have eyes, read the comments, and hear the broadcast commentator about her being the best in this. Quit the negative campaign. If Michelle influenced Sasha, why has Michelle herself never displayed the level of exquisite lines, spins, and spirals Sasha was known for? Give us a break@@TT-ee4qp

Same!

Best skater of the 2000' s ? Before 2005 ,Sasha skated under Michelle's shadow. After 2006, Sasha skated under Irina, Shizuka and Yuna's shadow.

id rather watch sasha than Yuna @@TT-ee4qp

Unparalleled!❤

That would have been a great idea..

Brent's Lucky (& Gay) Slot Channel PCS doesn't just apply to performance and interpretation. There are other factors that are taken into consideration such as skating skills and transitions which are more on the technical side of things

No, I looked at her protocols from this. She averaged 7's on ALL FIVE Program Component categories. She was scored basically even with Mirai Nagasu (in 2010) and Rachel Flatt in terms of artistry. GIVE ME A FLIPPING BREAK.

Brent's Lucky Slot Channel Well the US judges basically pick who they want, as we saw this year with Ashley's absurdly low scores that Karen's inflated PCS was able to squeak by (don't get me started on Bradie's PCS). With three strong Ladies on the GPS and only two US slots for Vancouver, it made sense that they'd prefer to send Rachael, Mirai, and/or Ashley -- i.e., up-and-comers with recent bodies-of-work to draw upon -- over Sasha. As Scott and Sandra lamented after Sasha's disastrous FS, she should have competed that whole Fall 2009, rather than just appear at Nationals after four years away from competition.

@@queenmaoasada8447 n I realize I'm late responding to this, but Sasha, even with that FS, has STAR POWER, and can win over an International panel of judges. Rachael Flatt? gimme a break. WHO?!?! LOL.

Jules Mekler -She is definitely not a healthy weight, that's for sure. Don't know whether she's anorexic, but she obviously doesn't eat enough to have any body fat.

Complicate Democratize Channel "You know nothing about the illness." Why do strangers on the Internet presume to know your personal knowledge/experience? And you're WRONG, BTW.

Queen Mao Asada anorexia is a mental illness and an eating disorder. It's terrible and far too common in the skating world, but based on what I know of Sasha she doesn't appear to have had any struggle with food. I think it was more just a byproduct of practice and bit having the time to eat as much as she would if she weren't training as opposed to deliberate malnourishment. I hope that's the case, at least, but she seems to have gotten to a healthier weight post-training as far as I know

No, lol.

eventer51314 Thank God because Scott and Sandra talk too damn much in my opinion LOL

Troy Turner lol

If that were the case the commentators would have been taken out long ago. Having said that, American commentators talk way too much, and always have.

Yes.

then she said "I love u chazz" lol

JE ENN 25 years old

vistaprime She couldn't because she was injured. The same thing happened to Michelle Kwan when she tried to come back for the 2006 Olympics, but she was even injured for Nationals.

vistaprime Yuna Kim?

vistaprime Michelle did it all the time she said "fuck the grand prix" and would just show up at nationals every yr and win 😂

She didn't do it every year. she did if after like 2003 or around that time.

vistaprime well yea you know what I mean... nationals was like Finlandia Trophy to Michelle just you know that thing you do to work out the kinks lmao

JE ENN Her mum is Russian, I believe. Sasha's American, obviously.

Nope, she's american but her mother is Ukrainian and she understands the russian language but couldn't speak it. She was coached by Tatiana Terosova before too.
