The most beautiful and exquisite program I have ever seen. I watch this most nights I cannot sleep. Like what one post said, this performance is 'dreamy'. This should be shown on a TV programme like Classic Arts Showcase and enjoyed by a new generation of viewers.
I admire them for being gracious during that SLC circus. In their shoes, I'd be bitter that many people, including insiders, succumbed to the wave of crying foul. Mob mentality at its modern worst. A world-class, quintessential program in the Russian tradition of beauty and unsurpassed technique. I saw how free&happy they were towards the end, I knew they won; little did I know of the crap to come. Flamed for their one little 2axel, so minor in comparison to the greatness of their skating.
I’m very much agree with this comment. I just finished watching Meddling, revisited these skates. This documentary did a better job than any that I had seen, gave the voices to the Russian skaters and their coaches as well, but nevertheless also took a North American side in the end. They still were characterizing the performance as hesitant and what not. I’m sorry but they just were so much better than the Canadians who didn’t even put on their best performance of their hammy, overused love story. The only evidence of meddling they had involved the ice dance competition and they tried to desperately link it to the French judge because the ice dance competition was supposed to favor France, but it was the Russian skater skating on behalf of France, and that is why the Russian mafia was involved with that. There is no evidence whatsoever linking it to the pairs event, the Russian pair was clearly superior (here and overall) and it wasn’t a surprise that a North American audience would react more positively to a North American pairs skating to a very popular and recognizable piece of music against Russians who had been winning this for 40 years and they wanted that dominance broken. Mob mentality as you said. I was always impressed with how gracious they had been that they were forced to share their gold medal. And even all these years later they continue to be cool even as their career has been eclipsed by that idea that they cheated when they truly did not and won that competition fairly.
What I find so amazing about this pair, is that when watching pairs, I usually am looking at the lady. But his lines are equally matched to hers, and so I look at them both. Stunning extension on the spiral moves. That alone deserves the Gold!
What was amazing was the fact B&S's overall technical content was much higher in difficulty than the Canadians, so even with that step out from the double axel, their overall content was good enough to hold them above the Canadians. Presentation-wise, B&S hands down had it!
The Canadians were light years better. Hence the scandal and why a 2nd gold was awarded. The Canadians are so far ahead of the Russians they often could fall twice in the past and beat the Russians clean.
@@grantgoffin4774 this Uninformed comment is new, so perhaps you should look at this with the new scoring lens. The Russians would’ve won with an even bigger margin with today’s standards. Even just in the free but if you include the short the Canadians may not even podium, or at best bronze. And B/S won fair and square with those days’ standards. I understand that love story skate is appealing to the masses, but it was a program they had been hamming around for three years already, hailed up as something special by North American media who wanted to see somebody finally beat the Russians after 40 years of their dominance in pairs, and kept saying this is the best this is the gold medal - and that’s what most people saw because they don’t know how to evaluate figure skating and there is a visible mistake in the Russians free. (S/P both together fell in the short unmissably…) This program is technically head and shoulders above the Canadians’ Even with the mistakes deserved to win. They lost marks for the mistakes anyway. Artistically there’s just no comparison. The Canadian pair didn’t even put on their best that day regardless of the cheesy smiles. Yeah (the North American) audience reacts more to the North American pair with the very popular, recognizable music and smiley performance style and the commentators that telling people watching at home this is the best. That was to be laypeople see them so. But the sport isn’t decided by the average person’s perception but by looking at the elements and performance. B/S rightfully we’re gold medalists and should’ve been the only ones if not for a number of factors leading to the “scandal” you mention. They didn’t act negatively about the Canadian pair and graciously shared their gold medal. You can’t say the same about Canadians who acted entitled to a gold (and got it🙄.. By the way, despite all the outrage, if you look at the evidence of “cheating“ what found was some meddling related to the ice dance competition not pairs). I’m not Russian nor do I by default protect Russian skating. At present they have just discovered evidence of doping in the 2022 Olympics and I think that the skater should be banned from the competition for example, and the coaches reprimanded and punished as well. But as a skater myself and a viewer of skating every year for over 35 years, in this competition and overall, despite losing to them a few times in the seasons before, B/S we’re unequivocally superior to S/P. They are among the best in the sport. S/P would be great for their time but forgotten outside of skating had it not been for the scandal. I also have always been impressed by their background story of how Elena came back from being abused and then injured by a blade cutting through her skull, leading to very severe brain injury and learned how to skate again.
@@grantgoffin4774 oh i’m just now noticing the most ridiculous part you said! Lol what’s that skate that the Canadians fell twice and beat clean Russians? lol. Show mw any pair skating where that happened a clean Russian pair beaten by twice falling pair? Especially in the old scoring. It’s technically possible in the new scoring if the clean pair had no difficult elements but it definitely did not ever happen in 6.0 scoring. You’re lying. The other way around could happen, but not that way. You must’ve heard something wrong my friend or lying. Sale and Pelletier won maybe 2 major titles over the Russians, with that same love story program they skated for years, where Russians made new programs every season. They were never the most graceful pair so never had the artistic scores in their favor. If they fell, that was pretty much the end for them as they were weak in the second mark. You’re clearly either an anti-Russia bot or don’t know anything about Skating.
As a former skater and recent spectator at Four Continents I have to say I saw some of the best skating I've seen in years there...and the new judging system rewarded that. We all have our personal favourites and who we think should win, but to discount the skaters out there because of a scoring system and the lack of school figures is the real disservice to this sport.
i don't remember if i commented on this before. I love this program every time I see it. It's so beautiful I just lose myself in it. I miss this team. I like Shen/Zhao and they're awesome too but B/S were pretty frickin amazing
@idolfan9495 I couldn't agree more. By equating S&P's performance to this one, the powers that be seemed to send the message that completing the tricks was all that mattered. And while the new scoring system would have vindicated B&S by rewarding their superior basic skating skills and choreography, the damage was done. Pairs is now more about doing tricks, than skating. B&S were the last, great, Pairs skaters.
Actually the new system would have placed them ahead of the Canadians both because of the short program in which the Russians performed perfectly and the Canadians not only were their usual selves but also fell, but also even if you only looked at the free skates, program technical content, or what you call “tricks“ are also higher compared to the Canadians. Their PCS would be higher too like you say due to skating skills choreography interpretation and also importantly transitions, which are beautiful here where is the Canadians just go from element to element, and don’t have transitions and really artistry is limited except for cheesy smiles. If anything it was the Canadians that did the “tricks” kind of Skating back then, losing whatever strength they had if they fell because they didn’t have much else and suffered in the second mark, whereas the Russians were more the complete package who did have the technical difficulty but also the artistic side. I’m neutral on the sport because things change. I like the new system in someways and don’t like it in other ways. This pair is my second favorite overall after G/G. Currently I like Sui/Han most. Interestingly, as they compete against Tamara Moskvina’s pairs now (she was B/S’s coach as well as other Olympic champions), I almost think they look more like a classic Russian/Moskvina pair than the Russian pairs, with very strong technicals, but also very artistic and programs with beautiful transitions and interpretation.
Even with the minor flaws, it was still harder technically that the Canadians because they have harder foot work, and they are MUCH faster. Plus, their basic skating skills are better.
The reason I would say I think I found them to be better skaters than S&P was due to their superior edging ,stroking, speed, posture, line, use of the ice , as well as difficult and innovative transitions. Their unison was also second to none. S&P had terrific charisma, and the ability to really sell things to an audience,but when they abandoned so much intricate choreography, to do Love Story , they (IMHO) gave Elena and Anton a little bit of a cushion.
It really is a shame that the judges were screwing around, because, honestly, this performance was so much more beautiful than the Canadian pair, and the whole judging thing seems to have undermined the fact that these two were legitimately better skaters and artists.
I agree with you 500 percent they are just commentator not judges, But when american can't win a competition they will always preffer a canadian to win over the russians so they can say the gold stays in america. very sad and patetic.
They WERE better than Sale and Pelletier. Even with a few shaky landings from both. I know nothing about skating really as I don't skate myself, but the artistic value of this programme is so much more than S and P's...
Having rewatched both B/S and S/P's programs, I have to say B/S were MUCH better. S/P's program, they were just going element by element. Everything was so dry and had mirror skating. Pairs is supposed to be two skating as one. Make their moves different but still skate as one. That's what B/S did and S/P failed to do. Plus there was a lot more difficulty in B/S's lifts.
Yeah, Sale and Pelletier were just two sore losers. I watched them skate, it felt like popcorn entertainment. I watched these two here skate and I am touched by their artistry. Who in the right mind can deny that?
Darn - I was hoping the hear the commentators at the end of the performance. I cannot get enough of either this program or their short program. It's mesmerizing - the level every skater hopes to achieve. And for a not so politically correct statement - she's a fox!! :) What a smile....
This was beautiful. I prefer the SP to this one, but other than that it was absolutely gorgeous. Shame about that one little stumble though, but they deserved gold. I don't think they needed to share it with Jamie and David at all. But I'm glad that Anton was so nice about it :)
@plankboi - That is Anton and not Sergei who died in 95 and skated with Katia. Secondly, the canadians programs was so simple and much slower so the point base was already lower than this. The point loss for a bob in a jump depends on whether the jump is completed which this one was. He therefore loses points for execution and not technicial. the point deduction is about 0.3 under the old system. Not enough to lose given they had a harder and more artistic program. S and P were sore losers!!!
I'm from the United States-so please don't lump all of us together. I was OUTRAGED when B&S's gold was split between them and a clearly good but inferior Pair.
@BabeonToast lol um no. The French judge was put under extreme pressure from the Western media and the union to fess up to being "dishonest" about a sport that's largely subjective! B&S were completely innocent, and won in presentation because of their technical artistry which Sale and Pelletier did not have. Later that judge did retract their statement but the one thing we can be thankful for is a reform in judging--that's still full of problems but it's getting better.
Free programs are composed of numerous elements - a jump being just ONE of them - and a variety of aspects is taken into account. But flag-waving jingoists can hardly be expected to appreciate such things)))
@BabeonToast In the short program? No. It wasn't flawless but neither was Jamie or David's. In fact, Elena and Anton's SP was way more technically challenging and choreographically stronger than Jamie and David's which should have put them far enough ahead to win even with the stumble Anton made in the LP. If anyone fell in the short program it was Jamie and David but they didn't get marks off because it was after their program was finished.
It was never just about the step-out on the double axel. On her first triple throw she landed stiff , lost flow of the ice and almost came to a stop. The second one almost looked two-footed.
in each olympic games there should be only one olympic champions/and in this video we can see that champions.and everything that had happend later has no connection with figure scating!!!!!!!!its stupidity ,fric show, politics,..............
You need to get your eyes checked. Elena is a bit forward on the landing but quickly saves it, with better free leg extension and use of arms than Jamie is capable of.
Well Canada can have another go at the gold this coming Olympics, with all the leading Russians retired, shouldn't be that hard... :) except for the dacers... :)
@LLLLutz Actually their Deathspiral would have done BETTER under the COP than S&P's , the difficult entry, change of arm, and change of the man's body position within the pivot would all count as features, if they had done the changeover into Elena's shoot the duck position using a transitional move that would have given them another feature.I also counted at least 3 rotations within this move prior to the shoot the duck
I also didn't like S&P being such babies about it either, I dont think it should have been revoked if it was judged the way I just laid it out, but it wasn't. There was proof it was rigged, and if the judging is rigged, the athletes are not at fault, shame on the judges, not these wonderful couples.
Sale and Pelletier's whining over a performance that was not indisputably better than this one ruined figure skating forever, because it gave the powers that be the excuse to change the scoring system. Now pairs skating is somewhat unwatchable, with all the weird positions and foot-grabbing. And the cheating judges are still judging.
The true and only champions of the 2002 Olympics!!! Bravo!!!
The most beautiful and exquisite program I have ever seen. I watch this most nights I cannot sleep. Like what one post said, this performance is 'dreamy'. This should be shown on a TV programme like Classic Arts Showcase and enjoyed by a new generation of viewers.
Pure quality. I have never seen a pair with such elegance, lines and beauty. Love this programme...love them.
Dreamy. Them and G&G. No other couple has ever come close since.
Заслужили ребята олимпийское золото!
Молодцы! 💞
Боже как они прекрасны , потрясающий дуэт
The most difficult program. Only they can skate this. The transitions, continuous movement, perfect positions, are wonderful.
They really were the best, a routine sensational, it is what makes this beautiful couple, cool !!!!!
I admire them for being gracious during that SLC circus. In their shoes, I'd be bitter that many people, including insiders, succumbed to the wave of crying foul. Mob mentality at its modern worst.

Thanks for posting this high quality video.Now I can see the speed,fluidity and artistry of B&S more clearly that won them the gold medal.
What I find so amazing about this pair, is that when watching pairs, I usually am looking at the lady. But his lines are equally matched to hers, and so I look at them both.
Stunning extension on the spiral moves. That alone deserves the Gold!
They definitely deserved gold. They actually had transitions and they had better artistry. They were one of the last great pairs teams.
Я как рада, что они победили на олимпиаде, обажаю их, спасибо.
Majestic. Enchanting. Imo amongst the greatest SP's EVER.
What was amazing was the fact B&S's overall technical content was much higher in difficulty than the Canadians, so even with that step out from the double axel, their overall content was good enough to hold them above the Canadians.

Прекрасно, восхитительно! Когда же у нас снова появятся фигуристы такого уровня?! поскорее бы.
This (and especially after their SP) would have put B&S ahead by a marathon mile under today's COP. No question.
they really do deserve the gold, i say this even if I'm from canada
Бережная-Сихарулидзе - лучшая спортивная пара современности. Надеюсь, что питерские пары Бойкова-Козловский и Мишина-Галлямов сумеют соответствовать
Even with the minor flaws, it was still harder technically that the Canadians because they have harder foot work, and they are MUCH faster. Plus, their basic skating skills are better.
I saw this live and I was so happy when they won - deservedly (only to be disappointed later by the fake 'scandal' and the double gold)
if they don't deserve the gold, no one else does
Fantastic programme
Beautiful perfomance

I agree with you 500 percent they are just commentator not judges,

Anyone who thinks Sale and Pelletier were anywhere near these two is really dumb.
Like Scott Hamilton, for example.
Not only that, those idiots thought S&P were *BETTER* than B&S...
Yeah, Sale and Pelletier were just two sore losers. I watched them skate, it felt like popcorn entertainment. I watched these two here skate and I am touched by their artistry. Who in the right mind can deny that?

this is pure art... sorry but the Canadians just have to suck that up :)
too bad B&S don't skate anymore... :(
I'm from the United States-so please don't lump all of us together. I was OUTRAGED when B&S's gold was split between them and a clearly good but inferior Pair.
Especially with the fall by Sale the end of their program.
Wow, amazing!!!!
at 4:20 what is that spin called, it's absolutely beautyful...is it their signature mark? because they seem to be doing it a lot
Well put. :)
True-I had forgotten about that fall as I've not willingly watched S&P's programs all these years.
there used to be
and medal award ceremony
but youtube copyright community deleted them all
S&P is like
since we can not win under the old system
we'll change the rules
Because that fall was not on an element, it did not receive a deduction, Check the rules.
@BabeonToast lol um no. The French judge was put under extreme pressure from the Western media and the union to fess up to being "dishonest" about a sport that's largely subjective!

Free programs are composed of numerous elements - a jump being just ONE of them - and a variety of aspects is taken into account. But flag-waving jingoists can hardly be expected to appreciate such things)))
@belladonna137 Tessa and Scott are Ice Dancers not pairs skaters...
@BabeonToast In the short program? No. It wasn't flawless but neither was Jamie or David's.

meditation
It was never just about the step-out on the double axel.
On her first triple throw she landed stiff , lost flow of the ice and almost came to a stop.
The second one almost looked two-footed.
in each olympic games there should be only one olympic champions/and in this video we can see that champions.and everything that had happend later has no connection with figure scating!!!!!!!!its stupidity ,fric show, politics,..............
You need to get your eyes checked. Elena is a bit forward on the landing but quickly saves it, with better free leg extension and use of arms than Jamie is capable of.
@belladonna137 Do you even know the difference between ice dance and pair skating?
they are much better than SP. This program is way tooo difficult to dance.
Well Canada can have another go at the gold this coming Olympics, with all the leading Russians retired, shouldn't be that hard... :)
except for the dacers... :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍
@LLLLutz Actually their Deathspiral would have done BETTER under the COP than S&P's , the difficult entry, change of arm, and change of the man's body position within the pivot would all count as features, if they had done the changeover into Elena's shoot the duck position using a transitional move that would have given them another feature.I also counted at least 3 rotations within this move prior to the shoot the duck
@xxradiance SP meaning short program not Sale and Peltier lol
I also didn't like S&P being such babies about it either, I dont think it should have been revoked if it was judged the way I just laid it out, but it wasn't. There was proof it was rigged, and if the judging is rigged, the athletes are not at fault, shame on the judges, not these wonderful couples.
I doesn't matter who was better, Judges were payed off, Simple as that.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sale and Pelletier's whining over a performance that was not indisputably better than this one ruined figure skating forever, because it gave the powers that be the excuse to change the scoring system. Now pairs skating is somewhat unwatchable, with all the weird positions and foot-grabbing. And the cheating judges are still judging.
somebody knows the name of the song?
Sikharulidze=Georgian
@escaflowne9282take2 my mistake, i apologize.
I'm sorry, where was Jamie's stumble?
@escaflowne9282take2 Ya, I also didn't understand the comparison lol
So much better, without the stupid commentary by the Americans Scott and Sandra!

Ya so smooth, like at 1:01 when he stumbles, or 1:51 when she almost falls flat on her face. So smooth.
Did I say she stumbled? Work on your reading comprehension.
the correct spelling would be:

YOUR life
whatever you spend your life with, a few English lessons wouldn´t be bad for you...
@heyheyheylolita Wow, another "canadian" who feels the Russians should have won.
It's "Canadian", by the way.
@plankboi +1
Excelente y hermoso, pero creo que los canadienses lo hicieron ligeramente mejor. Lo siento.
@dreamhigher - Clearly have no understanding of the sport. Why are are you even posting. Go watch TV or take a nap
