This is one of her most beautiful programs ever, excellentely skated here. In '02, Sasha brought to the World the joy that sublime skating with Perfect lines, innovative spins, daring quadruple jumps attempts and profound music interpretation was posible. She had the flexibility of a rhythmic gymnast tied up with the grace and expression of a ballerina. She did what seemed impossible to do on ice, and watching that is goosebumping.

Just was watching the 2022 Winter Olympics and quickly realizing that performances like this one are worth way more than the unartistic quads and triple axels that the women are doing today. This was (and is) exquisite women's figure skating in my opinion.

Problems in Sasha's short: circular footwork didn't close the circle and was very shallow, lutz was flutzed and not landed in the circle, double axel took off from the heel. Those are deductions that I could easily see. Her spirals always had excellent extension but lacked speed and "heart", her sit spin has terrible back position as its hunched over, but her split jumps were outstanding.
@fong033 жыл бұрын
All fair deductions, if the judges were as critical of Irina and Michelle, which they were not imo. Also, her presentation mark should have been 5.8 at the lowest. 5.6 is indefensible.

Rewatching this competition in anticipation for the 2014 olympics and I must say, it was so stacked, with all the top skaters in contention. I like all the top four ladies but I really thought Sasha took the cake with this program. Such a lovely, tonal skater with all the technical merit. Sasha should have taken the SP, with Irina in 2nd, and kwan in 3rd. Kwan's footwork and spirals seemed rather lackluster compared to Sasha and Irina. Unfortunately, I feel Kwan was handed her medal.

I never got the sense that Michelle was conceited. She seemed very sweet. Winning multiple titles would not give anyone the right to be conceited however. That being said, I would have put Sasha ahead of Michelle in the SP and LP during these Olympics. The SP is debatable, but not the long. The judges gave her a gift here.

For sure....this was far better than Kwan's short and in fact better than anything Kwan ever did. I don't get the judges scoring but it appears that once again they gifted Kwan win. Kwan didn't think it necessary to even perform a new and fresh program and if ever there was a seriously over rated skater it has to be Kwan. And how she gets gushed over for being gracious escapes me. She is so conceited and expects to win every competition and pouts if she doesn't. Something is wrong here.

Well stated Miss thing sings. I couldn't agree more. Cohen was seldom better than Kwan. Let the record state. Skating is everything taken together not simply flexing acrobatically. Kwan was mentally tougher, better coordinated, musically & choreographically. She presented a program better & skated with more grace. Cohen is vastly overrated.

Irina's performance was better than Cohen's long program. This girl shows line & flexiblility but not a lot of expression in her choreography or program. Kwan did a lot of those same spirals The Bobek & the charlotte. Cohen is vastly overrated. Hughes would've have been spectacular if she'd worked more on her line & carriage. Her height & long legs would show off lines to perfection.
