Caroline Zhang, the 2007 US Junior silver medalist, skates to "You Raise Me Up" as her exhibition at nationals. Lovely positions and presence - looking forward to seeing her develop.
Yukina Ota skates her long program to Ravel's "Daphnis and Chloe" at the 2004 Four Continents Championship. I loved her carriage, sharpness, and perfect positioning, which isn't always typical of Japanese skaters.
Tara Lipinski skates two exhibition programs at the 1998 Olympic Games. The first is "Journey to the Past" from the movie Anastasia; then she skates an encore of her long program to "The Rainbow" and "Scenes of Summer."
The SOI cast visits the Donny and Marie show in 2000 to promote that year's tour. Featuring Tara Lipinski, Scott Hamilton, Ilia Kulik, Ekaterina Gordeeva, and Kristi Yamaguchi. At the end, they play twister, which is hilarious.
Tara Lipinski and Kurt Browning skate a duet to "La Valse Moderne" and "Dada Je Suis" on the 2000 Stars on Ice tour. Also includes an appearance by the fabulous Christopher Dean, who choreographed this piece.
The first (and only) music video from Scene 23, the group that was formed on the US TV show Popstars 2. Found this video on an old cd I had burned and thought others might be amused as well. I don't have any other footage of this show, so please don't ask.
Fumie Suguri skates her short program at the 2004 World Championships. The music is Angele Dubeau's version of "Paint it Black."
Comments turned off until youtube gets a handle on the spammers, who love this video for some reason. Sorry.
A profile featuring Dominique Moceanu and Bela Karolyi, shown on Japanese TV before the 1996 Olympics. Lots of footage of Dominique training in Houston, plus footage of 1996 Nationals. Also shows brief clips of Kerri Strug and Mary Lou Retton.
2002 SOI Finale part 1. Features Lucinda Ruh, Tara Lipinski, Kristi Yamaguchi, and Katarina Witt skating to "Superstar," then Katarina Witt, Steven Cousins, Jenni Mend and Todd Sand, and Krylova and Ovsiannikov skating to "Close to You."
Tara Lipinski becomes the first female skater to land a triple loop-triple loop combination in competition at the 1996 Postal Service Challenge (Eric Millot was the first skater to land this combination). The beginning of the program was rough, but what a great moment in the middle!
