The muscle development on those legs is a thing of beauty. I don't see that on the other skaters. The only other place I've seen legs like that is in ballet. And Boitano is a classic dancer in his own right, dedicated to perfecting the classic skating moves in their purest form. And I love that his skating style is thoroughly masculine, full of elegance, aspiration, and power. "“Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?” --Robert Browning
you should see him in a pair of tights: no man could compare to that.
Brian was AMAZING on this program!! Beautiful skating ❤️
This was one of his most creative programs, and they nailed it when they said it was a mastery of simplicity.
I was there on the day he performed this routine. So amazing to see him perform live for the first time. ❤😊
Обожаю этого фигуриста, такая техника, такие прыжки, ни одного падения.
Beautiful job, Brian. I hope you don't get cheated this time.
this music selection...A+.
This for me is hard to watch. By the time he skated at Nationals, his body was very much beat up. I could not believe the difference when he returned to World Pros that year, the technical ability was definitely back.
I was disappointed that he changed his solo triple flip placement in Lillehammer.. it was placed to such good effect here..
Soareddddddd. It was magnificent
I literally just came back to this video after watching his performance in Lillehammer because I knew I could remember him doing a jump in the slow section at nationals. It was way more effective here.
Still today, 2021 nobody can do a "Boitano spin jump" with the hand above the head" or get near is shocking Spread eagles....Most people do them for 4 seconds tops and not nearly an leaning. I see he got cheated again this time...makes me so mad...
Great edges and jumps but obvious smoke break in between
As good as Scott Davis was, I feel that Boitano was just a little bit better. He had fewer mistakes and gave a great performance, though it was a very different tone. This is what I would’ve given this program:
5.7/5.9
For Davis:
5.6/5.8
not enough apparently
I wish they would say "are good enough" and "Are Not good enough"...cus she slurred hers and I still dont know what she said...her "arent" was not clear. She's paid to TALK.
I miss skating like this. I would rather watch old skating videos on RUclips then watch today's skating. The new scoring system, tho the intentions were good, ruined the beauty of the sport. Now it's just constant movement and jumps
+Jhojsh101 Exactly. What you have now are basically TWO technical programs. Disgusting. It's not just sad for the fans, but very sad for young skaters. I know they dream of moving up the ranks, but if I were a skater, I wouldn't want to have to face the new system and having jam-packed programs just to add up points. That only means the joy and love for the sport is being stolen or lost. You made a great comment.
What's even sadder about the loss of the 6.0 system is that now they know where to look for cheating and how to fix it. So technically today they could bring it back and make it work and bring back some of the charm of the sport. Whenever a skater got a 6.0 the crowd went nuts. I want to see that again. I have no idea what the COP means half the time.
Yes, it sounds ridiculous, but I agree that the constant movement of today's skating (what is expected of the skaters to earn points) is what tunes me right out. I don't find it pleasing to the eye.
I love watching how much his skating progressed over the 1980s. It jumped to a completely different level at the 88 Olympics. His artistry went from frantic choreography to a carefully crafted program by Sandra Bezic. It was a drastically positive change. This simple and elegant program shows how he continued to progress and grow through his professional career. Beautiful.
I'm in love with this guy
He is beautiful
Me too!
