Her Carmen routine is still quite mesmerising to watch. I think the artistry was sacrificed for technical difficulty after her era and the sport was none the richer for it. It was already technically challenging enough.
![]() I agree with your comment about artistry;it is the reason I rated John Curry above his competitors in the 70's and why I was excited watching Jane and Chris in their heyday. I seem to remember they placed only third when returning some years later to world class ice dance competition,but IIRC, I still preferred their routine to the others even then. |

I just looked up this (God bless YouTube) and I have to say,the bit danced from 1:43 to "Habanera" would have been delightful performed just on a dancefloor

Yes that was at the 1994 Olympics. I did love the Face The Music routine but have to say the most memorable part of their comeback for me was their fantastic Rumba.

I do not recall that one but it quite of illustrates the point,the most exquisite example of dancing on ice.

There will never be another Katarina or T&D but that does not mean the skaters of today aren't' bringing something to the table to appreciate and I love to see the sport develop and grow in new ways ( well somethings I don't' like, but I enjoy seeing how the skaters cope with the new restrictions placed upon them and still manage to bring their own sense of style) |
