- Signature elements of 6.0-Era skaters!
(some competed in both 6.0 and IJS but I associate them more with 6.0 so that's why they're here)
I will keep working on more of these videos so let me know who else you'd like to see! - Sport
I've never seen Bonaly do that backflip+3S, that's so incredibly impressive.
The height Midori Ito gets on her 3As is just insane.
It truly is, that power!!
I rewatched the first jump. Insane. What a gorgeous jumper.
Why does the voice guy for america sound the same EVERY time even from like a million years ago lmao
Lizzie Paulin it’s Scott Hamilton and he did a lot of commentary after his Olympic gold in 84. He talks about the skaters’ skills and not their dresses like another male US commentator does.
@@pattihanson7921 I guess Lizzie os referring to Dick Button, not Scott Hamilton.
Baton passed from Uncle Dick to Scott.
That "voice guy" is an Olympic figure skating gold medalist. Duh. And what have you accomplished??
@@npkrn6764 calm down, she was just asking.
Found myself saying yup to a lot of these. Poor Midori and Surya who predates the current scoring system. Then again, the 6.0 system resulted in some beautiful skating like Michelle and Sasha.
I lost interest in watching when they changed it. Sometimes I pass by it and watch one or two but not the whole competition anymore.
Lucinda Ruh has other types of amazing spins and got the Guiness record for the most continuous spins (105) on one foot . She is the fastest spinner on ice in the world ever clocking at six rotations a second and created over twenty different new spin positions now required at competitions. Unfortunately she got some health problems due to the speed of spins.
It's not right to get hurt just because want to make a super spin. Push herself too much.
Concussions were primarily results of brain acceleration/deceleration from falling on ice from failed jumps. The spins MAY have exacerbated these, rather than arising from spinning. controlled experiment would be unethical. But consider that sudden deceleration has been the major factor in all concussions.
I notice that she did hold her hand before her eyes to prevent disorientation during some forms of spin. In ballet (Lucinda was a student at RBC) spinning is controlled through spotting the movement of head lagging and anticipating the facing of a turn's finish, and is easily changeable in accomplished dancers, when a person does 14-17 pirouettes, some considerable acceleration occurs, and no brain trauma has been recorded. , and in some inverted sports, minutes can elapse - the system has evolved blood pressure variance protections, and spinning as trauma is FAR less likely than insufficiently healed concussion from mackerel-slapping on ice.
Speculation by those not intimately familiar with all or any of this, is unwarranted.
👍 For giving Sasha the attention she deserves. Even when she falls on a jump, her programs are breathtaking to watch. So much grace.
Sasha always had excellent short programs, but a couple of mistakes in the long programs were the downfall ...but I still really liked her!
3:32 is me coming home to my pets after a long day.
giggles
*HAHAHA*
You should try 4:18
Michelle Kwan's spirals were nice, but her overall fluidity and ease was so beautiful to watch. I always felt calm after watching her. In fact if I think of it when I've had a bad day now and again - I'll watch some of her performances to relax me! Try it!
Midori's jump height is staggering
I think Michelle Kwan's step sequences are just as iconic. Never heard a crowd roar louder than during some of those.
Totally agree with you.
Her 2003 , 2004 LP are my favorite performance.
Omg I never realized bonaly comboed the back flip with a triple salchow, so crazy
Yeah... that worths a couple of OGM to me!
I love Michelle’s spiral the best because she’s able to hold the position on both edge.
Change of edge spiral is Michelle's signature move.😎 Michelle's Charlotte spiral also is amazing, when her finger touched the ice just like a kiss. 💋
God I love Yagudin. His step sequences were just so unique and entertaining. I love step sequences that keep me engaged and mesmerized. This isnt the case for many skaters...but some skaters these days have these "safe" sequences which are just so bland and the same old stuff. They're still good and go with the music...but you dont feel mesmerized.
Yahudin
He is one of my all time favorites as well. Incredible ability combined with charisma and good taste in music and costumes.
Agreed! Scott Hamilton still has the best step sequences though. He started the fast steps craze!
Tonya's 3A axis was WILD!
Sasha’s swan lake is forever one of my favourite programs of all time. Just exquisite. Hadn’t found any similar spark like that until i got to watch yuzuru hanyu. Just ethereal beauty.
Midori Ito's jump, gigantic heights
I am so happy to see Lucinda Ruh here. I always felt like people forget about how iconic she is.
Yagudin's step sequences were so impressively done & choreographed and I'm so old that I STILL remember them from that 2000s era, I was watching them on TV back then. xD
It's like he's dancing on the floor, not the ice
@Yuzutea thank you for including Lucinda Ruh. I feel like a lot of people either don't know about her or have forgotten her which is a real shame because her spins and artistry are insanely good.
I've never heard of her. It's nice to see those crazy spins.
@@asiacheetah1010 you're missing a lot.
I saw Lucinda Ruh live at 1996 world’s in Edmonton. In her practice sessions, even the other top skaters and coaches would stop to watch her spin. Everyone was in complete awe!
Spins are so much harder than jumps, fewer people do them well and they deserve much higher credit than they get.
Sasha is everything. Bring the spirals back!
She made those high a' la seconde moves beautifully, while up THROUGH this moment, the quasi-MMA kicks done instead to attempt to garner points without grace or musical/ dance value remain sucky, when performed by most.
Talk about something that SHOULD be downgraded when ugly - n fall is as bad to view as those kicks, and only the not-yet extinct choreographer penchant for males to hold splayed hands near head as if suffering headaches comes near in ugliness.
Tonya’s layback spin is so underrated!
I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS. Everyone stops talking about her at the triple axel. Look at the quality of her Lutz! No woman since has done as big and steady of a Triple Lutz like her. Look at the quality of her layback spin!!! She had the best layback of her time! But everyone only wanted to see the 3A. They ought to have looked deeper. She had so many other talents. She was of the highest caliber in so many aspects in the sport, she just didn't do emotional programs and got pigeonholed for ONE jump in her arsenal.
Steve B thank you! Yes a lot more to her skating than just the triple jumps. I mean I get it that’s what people would talk about but they should include her layback spin, spins in general and Ina Bauer
Kwan’s spiral is still so beautiful.
Love how insane the jumps were back then. In terms of speed, technique, and height. Don't get to see much of it nowadays. Including spirals 😔😔
Tara Lipinsky 3Lo + "3Lo", for the entire first rotation her blade it's still on the ice.
Under the new system, Tara's technique wouldn't get marks.
Tonya Harding:
• First American woman to land a triple axel in competition.
• The first woman ever to land a triple axel in a short program.
• The first woman ever to land a triple axel in combination.
• The first woman ever to land 2 triple axels in the same competition.
• The first woman to gain a 6.0 for technical merit (in the USA).
Let’s never forget that. Thank you for mentioning her, great video!
Agree. very talented ,But let's keep in mind ,she was also The 1st women in the history of the sport to create damage that she did . That alone is what she will always be remembered by . If your going to give facts ,Please give all the facts . What she accomished with her skating ability is amazing YES, but the damage she done to another skater is unsportman ,and unlady like . no excuses.
jakobi black She did what? She was abused, attacked, denigrated, hurt, destroyed, molested... She never did nothing to be ashamed off. Yes she committed mistakes just like any other human does. If you mean what happened with Kerrigan, let me tell you something: WAS JEFF WHO DID EVERYTHING. NOT TONYA! Get over it.
@@davejimenez3884lol so you decided to Google and and look at the documentary 😂. yet when the incident happened back in 1992 I was there to see the situation happen . Of course everyone has a story , that does not give you the right to PLAN an attack on someone . Her and Jeff were dating at the time so she was apart of the situation and planned the entire thing . You sound stupid as fuck trying to take up for a no body who will always be remembered for being a complaining,problematic skater and who attempted to cheat her way into a medal at the Olympics and it did not work . take your excuses somewhere else .I was there in person when the incident happened while you most likely weren't even born "BASIC". take your noneductaed ass somewhere else next time you attempt to give facts .
@@jblackinc
Aha! You was there in person in the place when Nancy been attacked of Jeff!!!
Why you was there?
Why you did nothing to rescue Nancy in the situation?
I guess! You're talking bullshit!
😂😂😂👎
@@jblackinc it doesn't matter how excellent a skater is, there is always someone trying to destroy him or her so that someone else can shine. What happened to Tonya was terrible: she was just as victim as was Nancy. As a skater, Tonya cared for nothing else but her own training and she was brilliant on the ice, at least much better than Nancy. I wonder what people would feel if they found out that the whole thing was originally planned by Nancy ... (who was the nastier person one could meet)
Surya was a BEAST, I loved watching her skate when I was a kid.
Great video! With Sasha, it’s the fan spiral in particular that I think of. That and her I-spin. For Michelle, I would include the falling leaf too-the double falling leaf at the end of her Scheherazade program still gives me goosebumps! Nancy Kerrigan’s iconic spiral, Mishkutienok and Dmitriev’s signature pair spin, Brian Boitano’s still unmatched spread eagle and his ‘tano lutz. So many good ones to choose from!
The axis of tonyas axel.... Scares me every time
I know right! It always keeps me on the edge-- you'd really expect her to fall! Hers is my favorite; such a shame she didn't get to do more 3As in her career.
FrizzleLamb there’s a video of her doing a triple axel in 97
I miss the spirals !!! Bring them back, the skating now has no artistry, just robotic jumping
Heather Smith ITA!!!
I hate to admit this but I stopped watching figure skating (religiously... ) when Michelle Kwan stopped skating... I'm still heart broken over her not being able to compete at Torino... I really wanted her to have the Olympic trilogy of medals but I did get to see her skate live ... she is even more amazing to see in person.... she took you places with her skating... there really isn't a female skater that does that... but I also haven't watched any skating since the 2018 Olympics >.
@@thegutlesswarrior9488 your comment has truly touched my heart . I agree with you 125% .when Michelle stopped skating I lost interest , not just her but many other skaters during her time as well as before her time . peggy, Dorothy, scott, timothy, Sarah, Kristi, todd, the list goes on and on . but Michelle truly took you to another place when she skated .
Nobody has ever gotten close to duplicating Sasha Cohen's spirals; my later father would cry when he watched them. But since the ISJ, there's no reason to work on spirals simply because there are not enough ISJ points to make them worth the practice. But if they were a required element, I think the Russian ladies, especially Shcherbakova and Valieva, could look just as spectacular as Cohen did.
Maybe those kids will get off your lawn, too, Stephanie!
Don't forget Michelle's iconic Y-spin, falling leaf split, and Charlotte spiral!
Nothing says signature, than the Bonaly...
Got it boii👍👍
Love Dorothy!! Michelle Kwan is so lovely!!
It would be good if you could go back even further to include the artistry of John Curry and Toller Cranston, the spins of Denise Bielmann, the effortless flow over the ice and step sequences of Robin Cousins, the dynamism of Elvis Stojko, the Tano Lutz of Brian Boitano, the one man death spiral of Charlie Tickner - I'm sure there are many more.
Ah, back when I enjoyed skating.
Lucinda's pro skating costumes were the most original ever. I thought they were pretty cool.
I applaud you for including Tanya Harding. Whatever she may or may not have been accused of, it shouldn't take away from the fact that she was a very strong and athletic skater and the 1st woman to complete the triple lutz in competition :))
I loved all these figure skaters. Amazing.
Irina also had the Spiral in Biellmann position and the One-Foot Footwork from end to end of the rink as signature moves!
I love this, yes im a tonya harding fan
You're not the only one here :)
Was hoping for Kurt Browning’s footwork or Bourne and Kratz’s hydroblading
Where is Brian Boitano's 'Tano Lutz?
Stephane Lambiel spins! lol
This brings back my era. It brought a smile to my face thanks for uploading :)
Where is Stéphane Lambiel's Combination Spin?
Good to see you give Sasha Cohen the love she deserves.
midori ito does not jump she FLIES
Sasha the best! Amazing!
Enjoyed that a lot. Thank you!
Where is Jill Trenary's One-Foot Axel-Triple Salchow combo?
Sasha's programs are so beautiful
Well.....she had the only one style.....and she had to skate on crutches or she would fall everywhere on ice.
Maria Butyrskaya - both legs camel spin, scratch spin with both hands behind her back, combination spin, triple lutz, triple loop, triple toe-half loop-triple salchow, forward approach double axel
Shizuka Arakawa - ina bauer, catch foot spirals with realesing the blade, triple, triple, triple
Evgeni Plushenko - quad toe, triple toe,triple.loop, triple axel-triple flip, biellman spin
Ilia klimkin - camel.spin into the triple salchow, cantilever
I love these videos!!! Keep up the excellent work! New subscriber!
Please make more videos like this. I love your channel!
I think Lucinda Ruh's spins are out of this world. I don't think people appreciate how hard it is to spin and not travel in that spin. She is pretty much dead center with minute travel depending on the spin. That last pancake spin into shotgun spin then catching the foot on the last rotation is amazing!
This is great! Thank you! ❤
Awesome compilation
What a pleasure. Thanks!
Bonaly´s was the rebel signature! Outstanding
If you ever do another of these videos,I feel like Kaori's tripple loop should be somewhere because just the entry and then the jump looks amazing.
Oh how I miss the spiral sequences!
Where is Denise Biellmann's Biellmann Spin?
My blender been real quiet since Lucinda did her spins 😳
Where is Robin Cousins' Delayed Axel?
Love this video
Where is Shizuka Arakawa's backbent Ina Bauer?
And her unassisted Y spiral!!!
It’s not a backbench Ina Bauer. It’s a layback that just blows the mind. I used to do a backbend, but just not on skates. I actually shouldn’t have done that in gymnastics because it nearly destroyed my spine. I ended up with spinal stenosis after getting hit by a car in 1999. Carrying a heavy backpack in Canada aggravated it. So I can only watch athletes do the laybacks, but to never attempt it myself.
I'd add Boitano's spread eagle, death drop, and lutz. And Jozef Sabovcik's tuck axel.
I miss the 6.0 era! Thanks for posting.
i miss spirals
Sasha’s spiral sequence 😩😩😩🙏🔥🔥🔥💛💛💛
“When I’m spinning I feel like I’m in another world.” -Linda Ruh
Yes, you do! Because you’re beginning to black out! XD
Yes indeed she did. But man like seriously I don’t know how she handled that back scratch not to mention the combination spins.
Billy Bop On YT Dear Billy, if you didn’t know: Lucinda really got serious head problems because her spins are too fast and hard even for figure skaters. But anyway she created more than 20 new spins and influenced to standards of spins at competitions.
@@agatad9376 So sorry for her .
Her spins gave people so much joy.
How about Toller Cranston's russian splits and his own Toller camel (early 80's pro competitions)? And Tiffany Chin's Illusion spin? (1986 worlds); Denise Biellmann's own biellmann spin; tano lutz and rippon lutz; Caroline Zhang's pearl spin ? Robin Cousins' lefty outside camel ; Linda Fratianne's cannon ball sit spin; kay thompson's thopmson spin; and Stephane lambiel's variation on the sit spin. Those were outstanding signature elements, all worth our appreciation.
Thanks a million.
Where is Philippe Candeloro's Candeloro Sit Spin?
I appreciate you giving ideas for the next video on what to include, great recommendations I must say.
But why couldnt you have put these in one comment instead of spamming the comments? Its very immature and annoying. Putting them in one comment would have been more formal and easyier
Dorthy Hamill’s scratch spin and laid back spin later in her professional years were much better than her Hamill Camel.
This was a great video, but what about Oksana Baiul's "doughnut" spin? Nobody could do them quite like her!
3:06 that height! OMG!
I was waiting for the Hamel Camel. But is there a video for pairs?
I was so happy to see you include Surya and Lucinda... both I think were under-rated in their time... especially Surya... omfg she was truly gifted and totally robbed.... if the current system had been in place during her time things would have turned out differently... and NO ONE has a more AWESOME move than Suyra because I have yet to see another skater attempt it!
Surya was technically flawless, but her programmes were not really artistically beautiful to watch, in my opinion. She did - in my opinion - not "feel" the music. She then lost sympathy with me when she refused an award ceremony (where she "only" came second or third). That was absolutely out of line!
Would you do another video for skaters of the current area ? Or with pairs and dance ?
Sasha Cohen's spins.♥️♥️♥️
Thank you, lovely Irina, for daring to do the (now very low scored) scratch spin! Ruh spun so fast they should have given her some kind of award! Midori - such a pioneer. And Alexi’s footwork is just exquisite! Surya was a rebel, and I love her for it. Still think she should have been the 93 World Champ. Sasha is as flexible as Gumby (but much prettier). Tonya, you still have my respect as a skater, despite the Kerrigan thing. And who doesn’t love the Hamill Camel and Tara’s pure joy! Y’know, if they insist on skaters do harder and harder jumps (and more of them) to win, why not award a medal for the various elements? One for jumps, spins, footwork, etc. Seems only fair. Then they could have an all around medal. Because many great jumpers are not fantastic spinners or have particularly good footwork or flexibility. Or musicality. If you go out and hit all the toughest jumps but the rest of your program is so-so, 9 out of 10 times you win. Skating is NOT all about jumping. And skaters who are tops at other elements should be rewarded. I love your channel - just subscribed!
Sooo true
Tara's joy - no one enjoyed skating more than Tara. I love watching her!
@@elizabethhurley1129 Tara skated like a happy puppy running in the park.....of course she was happy because she was a kid.
@@elizabethhurley1129 Tara had no Olympics spirit.
Tara retired and turned pro because she loves MONEY more than the skating sport.
I feel like Yagudin's signature element is more Morozov's choreography signature.
Lucinda Ruh is the queen of spins, PERIOD.
I miss so much Cohen Spins
are step sequences like alexei does at 3:30 particularly difficult? i've never skated myself but i do like to watch and im trying ot get more into the technical side of things. it certainly seems impressive to me but i dont know much, lol
Beautiful 😎😊😄🥰😆😍👏🏻❤️
Seggestions for Part 3:
Brian Joubert- footwork sequence
Stephane Lambiel- spins
Alissa Czisny- spins
Carolina Kostner- speed
Scott Hamilton- back flip and dancing
Jason Brown- split jump and flexibility
Yes, plus Philippe Candeloro's step sequences and the spin on knees
2:00 that is just unreal
How about a video of underrated skaters that no one has heard of: Robert Wagenhoffer, Rory Flack, Allen Schramm, Gary Beacom, Jozef Sabovcik, Tiffany Chin, Nicole Bobek, Chen Lu...
Please put Lipnitskaya's flexibility tricks and spins in the next video of these series
Zoe Basina she was in Part 1
I definitely like more the 6.0 era, however from the current era I love that they allow in competition contemporary songs with lyrics
Please do more video separated from eras. Why don’t you do. Videos comparing spins from the 6.0 vs the current era.
One question the 6.0 era that I identified i like better is that it’s official name
You could have added the “Tano Lutz” from Brian Boitano. . . . Or Denise Biellmann herself doing her signature spin. . . . Perhaps Philippe Candeloro doing his “knee spin.” . . . Or Gary Beacom who could do single jumps in both directions!
Michele, Michele, Michele...greatest skater EVER!
Who's "Michele"?
Piznoc Tsauo I think she meant Michelle Kwan......
@@piznoctsauo8141 Michelle Kwan got the most perfect 6.0 （57 times ） in the history. 🥰🥰🥰
Where is Carolina Kostner's vertiginous speed?
She is not from 6.0 era
Where is Toller Cranston Broken Leg Sit Spin?
Muy lindo
Es muy raro ver patinadoras como Sacha Cohen, esa elegancia y poder de interpretación. Me encantaba verla hacer el layback porque me recordaba a las bailarinas de las cajitas musicales.
These girls are gliding on ICE, but man.. aren't they ON FIRE!
Theres a video of Tonya Landing 3Lo-3lo and its so impressive
I miss Sasha Cohen😭
