- Hamar, NORWAY - 1994 Lillehammer, Figure Skating, Ladies' Free Skate - Chen Lu of China skated a strong program to place 3rd in the Free Skate and ended moving up from 4th to win the Bronze Medal.
I always remember Chen Lu. There was something about her. She had great arms and choreography. I remember her routines.
One of the few skaters of her TIME where she see the DEEP OUTSIDE edge on the Triple Lutz.
this was the best program at the olympics
Excellent programme
To me she’s better than Nancy
After seeing this program back in 1994 I was hoping Chen Lu would eventually become a World Champion and she finally did in 1995 plus she was still on the podium in 1998 with a second bronze medal
Unfortunately Lu had to contend with the rise of Michelle Kwan in two years.
I rate Lu a better jumper than Michelle and they're both strong artistically tho Kwan had a better connection w her crowd when she skated
1 Kerrigan
2 Chen
3 Sato
DAMN what a queen!
She's so cute.
Na apresentação das Olimpíadas de Inverno 1994 - Lillehammer Winter Olympic Games, a atleta chinesa Chen Lu, ao som de Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind e, na rotina do Free Skate, dentro do runtime de 4:08, conseguiu realizar os seguintes saltos: Triple Lutz + Double Toeloop + SEQ, Double Axel, Triple Salchow, Triple Loop, Triple Lutz, Triple Toeloop, Triple Flip, Double Axel [Chen Lu (figure skater) - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia] - [Vídeo: Chen Lu 陳露 (CHN) - 1994 Lillehammer, Figure Skating, Ladies' Free Skate] Apud FIGURE SKATING - LADIES´ EVENTS da obra ESPETACULAR, de Fernando Pinheiro.
Anybody know what the music is? GORGEOUS!
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
Chen Lu had a great program, music, and technically was SUPERIOR to the programs of Oksana Baiul and Nancy Kerrigan...She landed TWO Triple Lutzes and Landed 5 Clean triples and 2 Double Axels...Oksana landed 4 clean triples and 2 Double Axels...Nancy had 5 clean Triples including a Triple Toe and Triple Toe and one Double Axel...Lu, Nancy, and Oksana all had problems with the Triple Flips...
Oksana two-footed her flip and second triple toe loop.
SORRY disagree KERRIGAN was the only top skater to do a triple triple and was the best technically period! and should have won that is MUCH better and has a higher degree of difficulty than 2 triple lutzes sorry dont agree however lu chen was great here and the following year when she won! those were her 2 best years!
@@grantnoroyan4083 Hahaha...The triple-triple is the EASIEST of all the triples and EVEN NOW has less value than a Triple Lutz DoubleToe combination....Nice try though. Fail you do.
@@sunshinesun101 LOL with all due respect you are a moron have you ever heard of figure skating and have any experience???? get a life doing a 2nd triple lutz VERSUS someone who did a triple triple combination is clear to anyone with a brain which is more difficult and highly regarded educate yourself and get a life!
Love Oksana, but this was the best program. Artistically behind Oksana, but not by much. Artistic marks too low.
She got robbed WTF
Choreography plays a big part in these performances. Nancy was a great skater but imo the choreography in her program was awful. Chen Lu and Oksana conversely had programs with stunning choreography. Just my two cents and my opinion.
WOW i would never say kerrigans choreography was awful it was simple and classy especially compared to the others however everyone has a view kerrigan should have won and was MUCH better than baiul.........lu chen was 3rd and that was exactly where she should have been!
Watching this, years later with more knowledge, i would agree. She THREW those jumps like a mad woman
Had she skated like this after Oksana and Nancy she would've won the free skate and the gold. She was ludicrously underscored on the second mark.
I agree. She was better artistically than Nancy's Program.
China wasn't very popular back in those days, kinda like now, that's why the commentator said ping pong is more popular than her
She did have a hand touch down on her last jump.
Plus she didn't do any combination jumps.
@@erictyson5947 well China has never been popular in the world of anglo saxon criminals.
That’s why the world needs a change.
She NEVER would have won the gold period especially during that time the top 2 were already chosen before the competition she was 3rd and she deserved to be 3rd she did very well
Great, haunting music. I think the choreography was excellent.
I love the choreography! Music is excellent, too.
If this Olympics were graded under the current scoring system, I wonder if this would have won the gold? Even with the small mistake at the end, this just seems like a much better overall skated program than anyone else's.
I could certainly see Chen winning the long program here if it was scored under IJS, but whether she would have won overall or not would depend on how many points behind she was after her small mistake in the short.
I think maybe Chen Lu did deserve the gold. I would've placed both her and Yuka Sato ahead of Kerrigan in the LP. Now who I would've placed first, I'm not sure--Chen and Yuka were both excellent.
You are mental! LOL
so many years in retrospection and detachment from the whole Kerrigan drama, one can only think she deserved the gold medal. I always thought Kerrigan did, but Lu Chen skated a more difficult and more complete program. She has two lutzes, five very clean triples, ok no triple-triple combination but I think the second lutz more than makes up for that. She's quick, there are lots of steps and spirals etc. I don't understand the second mark given her elegance and the great composition of this FP.
She was 4th in the short and Kerrigan 1st, so even if Chen had placed 1st in the LP and Kerrigan 2nd, Kerrigan then wins.
I wouldn't describe her as an elegant skater: incongruity with the jarring choice of music and too many flailing arm movements for my liking.
GOOD POINTS AND VIEWS HOWEVER DO NOT AGREE kerrigan should have won and lu chen should have been 2nd and baiul 3rd.........but everyone has a view
The old scoring system was a disgrace. To purposely hold back on marks because other skaters had as yet to skate was ludicrous and unfair in the evaluation of a performance. Most of the best performances under this system were underrated.
They still do that nowadays........
I agree that Lu Chen was underscored here just as she was at Worlds 1996 which she should have won, but the new system is even worse because skaters are held back in skating order (particularly if they are unfavored) AND a tech crew can rig urs and edge calls for unfavored skaters compounded by negative GOE and ignore urs and edge calls for favorite skaters while inflating GOE to more easily fix the scores. To me, figure Skating is beautiful to watch but I can't stand competitions because I think they are often corrupt and biased for favorites and because I don't think something with such a huge artistic element should or can be quantified especially since every person has their own idea of what they wish to see in a performance.
Lu Chen was lucky to escape the media glare during the 94 Tonya-Nancy Olympics. A bit unlucky she came during a time of top female skaters, otherwise Lu might've squeezed out a Silver Olympic medal. Still, she seems very happy with her results here. A few yrs later after Oksana and Nancy left the skating scene, Lu Chen had to contend with the rise of Michelle Kwan, so she still couldn't quite capture Worlds and Olympics Gold, settling for Silver while Kwan snatched Gold. Check out Lu Chen's 1996 World's long program, she was absolutely mesmerizing. In the end Kwan edged her for the World's gold medal, but that long program was Lu Chen's absolute finest ever !
Don't act like a stupid parrot!
I remember this performance from my childhood! I have searched for this for YEARS. So glad to have found it. Thanks. :)
She should definitely have placed ahead of Oksana Baiul in the freeskate.
more musical and complex program than either kerrigan or baiul. she won the free skate for me, deserved at least the silver overall.
The mistake on the triple flip marred the program a bit... But I still would have had her 2nd in the free skate over Oksana... Which would have given her silver.
Amazing...
@ScreamingInAPaperCup why not gold? Everyone thought (me included) it was either Kerrigan or Baiul but when you analyze it, it's Chen who desered it...
Witt and Bonaly both weren't checking their blind spots
So why was Nancy even an option she didn't skate half as well as this girl
This was just an annoying Olympics for me. Baul was over scored based on hype it seemed, Kerrigan's programs were a bit boring and she acted like a brat, and Chen was overlooked; Chen certainly should have been ahead of Baul in the free section.
true but that wasn't really Nancy's fault, she had to simplify her routine due to her leg injury. I don't blame her for being pissed, I'm sure Tonya being there threw her off her game
Everybody was stressed out at this olympics. Lol. Getting distracted by all the foolishness.
Better than Nancy!
Wasn't Nancy supposed to wait until Chen exited the ice before getting out there anyway? I'm glad she almost got hit with the bear. Lol. She was probably being disrespectful anyway.
+CandyisAwesome86 She had a huge attitude problem
no. look at every competition ever held to this day. as soon as the previous skater is done the door opens and the next skater takes the ice. they warm up while the scores are read. this is not an isolated incident.
J Feng Yes!
Once a skater has finished her/his program and has taken the first bows and waves, the rink boards attendant immediately opens the door so that the next skater goes out onto the ice. It's not just so that the next skater gets a moment to do a quick warm-up, but it's also because these competitions do have a schedule and itinerary followed, lightly but still observed.
I thought the same actually. It seems rude to me (and disrespectful to the previous skater ahead of you) to do that.
i agree with you. Although Oksana skated with a ton of heart and personality, the overall layout of the program was not that well constructed in terms of how the elements were interconnected with one another and her technical marks in general were generous to say the least. It seems as though her it-girl quality made the judges 'forget' about her errors and shortcomings (which is not good at all of course as this is a competitive sport).
gk891 wasn't Baiul's LP used by the ISU to train judges later on what a not balanced program looks like?
spins needed work and cost her the 96 worlds too.
Your point about Chen's spins is understandable, but her spins aren't a disaster. There is still position form in her spins. Lu Chen's overall quality, musicality and artistic impression was enough to win. A woman on ice. But it didn't matter as it was clear Kwan was being guided to the title in 96. But about this 94 Olympics, Lu really should have finished in second behind first-place Kerrigan. As for Oksana, sorry but in 94 and today, the impression I got was the world just witnessed a meltdown performance in the sport. Too many mistakes and her skating took a step back from 93. Her marks were totally inappropriate and as if belonging to some other skater.
@stefrevollo They could have awarded Chen the gold, but they would have had to bump Kerrigan down to third to do it, which would have meant the silver for Baiul. Interesting to wonder what would have happened had Bonaly skated clean. I would stick with Kerrigan gold but award Chen silver and Baiul bronze. Chen got marked low b/c she skated early. Deserved nothing below 5.8 with that beautiful choreography for sure.
Enjoyed this more than Nancy's or Bauil's. Bonus was seeing Nancy almost getting beaned by the bear. Forgot about that. Lol..
What is the music?
+BW92116 It's from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind." Which makes Chen Lu my new best friend.
The first part of this video looks altered
Chen's mistake in the short program was much bigger than Baiul's. You can argue her beating Baiul in the long program (I agree she did) but no argument for the short.
Lu chen should be 1st in the FP, thus gold medal.
Chen was 4th in the short. Both Kerrigan and Baiul would have had to finish third or lower for her to have gotten the gold even with the first place finish in the free
Kwan was out skated in two of here country women she never won olympic gold either
風の谷のナウシカ
When you combine both programs Nancy clearly and undisputably deserved the gold. Chen's short program had a big mistake and eliminates any serious consideration of her winning. Even had she beaten Nancy in the LP she would place behind her overall unless someone was between them.
the music and choreography were not as good as they could have been. imagine bezik with that?!
Why does this music sound like freaking Joe hisaishi???
It is by him. It was composed for the film "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind."
@@BW92116 Oh this was Nausicaa!?!?
Yes
4:59 Nice stripper tassels, LuLu.
The Canadian judge and the British judge gave her the silver medal. There were just too many Communists on this panel, a majority of 5 and you will not get any fairness in scoring including one from her home country of China. They had already decided to give it to Oksana Baiul. Nancy Kerrigan should have won the gold and maybe Chen Lu the silver. Oksana made too many mistakes.
What does a communist have anything to do with the judging system? Are you paranoid? Communists' a worker's party.
@@annecohen8927 Don't mind this person, they comment on literally every video about the 1994 Olympics about how Kerrigan was robbed because of communist judges lmao
Look up and study the Cold War and "Bloc judging". Figure skating and gymnastics were definitely affected by this practise. It happened at Lillehammer as well.
@stefan7171 ARE YOU KIDDING ???
This was a good performance but it certainly wasn't anywhere near a gold performance. She messed up on two of her jumps and touched down on of them too. She also crashed into the board during her short program. Kerrigan and Biaul both did better than her.
Wow boring. Where's my tonya
