- Prague, CZECH REPUBLIC - 1993 World Figure Skating Championships, Pairs' Free Skate - Isabelle Brasseur and Lloyd Eisler of Canada won the Free Skate to win their only World Title here.
To this day I think Isabelle and Lloyd had the most difficult, daring lifts of any pair. Their lifts, I think, became better after they turned professional.
They do, there is pretty much nothing you see in pairs lifts and twists today that are more difficult than theirs. Throw jumps have become more difficult.
Brasseur & Eisler are one of my all time favorites
Thank you for this! I remember cheering for them. I miss the days of glorious lifts in pairs. And they were much more than lifts. Incredible watching even now in 2020. Goosebumps!
they were so fun to watch. miss them
Always loved this pair. What an exciting performance!!
One of my favorite programs in Figure Skating
Love Isabelle and Paul, adorable couple
Even though they represented Canada, they are my favorite in pairs.
Loved G and G but these guys were special in their own way. Sometimes they never got the recognition they deserved.
Thank you for the memory.
My very first competitIon was in Toronto in the summer of 1974... JUVENILE MEN... I was 12... Lloyd Eisler was competing... There was like 16 entries... I was like 9th... he was up there... so glad he became so successsful!

Ok Sandra Bezic (or whomever was commentating....I've watched the throw jump at the 1:30 mark at least 10 times. I'm still trying to see the "slight touch down" that you claim Isabelle made. She may have leaned over a bit but she certainly never had either a big or a slight....touch down.
I agree...I watched it several times, too. My only other thought was that perhaps it didn't show up at this camera angle (?).
The free leg may have brushed the ice but i would give the benefit of the doubt to the pair.
To be fair she NEVER landed clean out of a triple/quad twist. Watch any of their Olympic performances including 1994, and all but one of her falls came out of the twist.
@GetBenched - that's nice. It has nothing at all to do with my comment though. Bezic said she touched down. She didn't. End of story. This has nothing to do whatsoever with how clean or not Isabelle may have skated in the past. This has only to do with a completely inaccurate comment that Sandra Bezic made while commentating.
Looks like she brushed the ice slightly, she almost always landed like this, she was not good on the landings always hunched over
This team had a lot of power and great tricks. Even with the flowy fabrics and icy colors it couldn't mask their lack of grace and flow. They definitely had power but the individual jumps were questionable usually and even on the easy doubles they weren't very high. But the lifts and power were the best. They, especially him didn't have the best lines. Still it was kind of sad they felt cheated when the ISU allowed the reinstallmentof prior teams that went pro. They would have oly gold 9n 1994 as Lloyd pointed out.
They might have won gold in 94 if the pros hadn’t been reinstated-but then again, they might not have won anything if they had to wait until 1996, as was expected. They would have not had the benefit of Olympics 2 years apart. Everyone can play these games but 1994 was just unusual any way you slice it.
Yes to everything you said. The Russians coming back I think exposed their weaknesses, especially with their comparative lack of speed. That’s the main thing that stands out. They’re not skating “slowly” but compared to the Russians, they look languid in between tricks. Their solo jumps always were a liability, their throws were adequate if they hit them. But their lifts, the twist lift, the lateral twist lift, no one could match that and that’s where they really had so much “wow” factor.
@@intldawn I agree. They had the most daring lifts, but I would still choose G&G for their fluidity and naturalness, not to mention their chemistry. I'm very glad that Lloyd and Isabelle medalled in their 2 olympics tho
At the same time, how would they have done under the 2022 scoring system compared to the 1993 6.0/factored placement system?
@@2themoon863 Today's scoring/judging system wouldn't even be kind to G&G let alone Brasseur and Eisler. It's all jumping for quads now with no artistic grace of any kind and routines are a lost art. Yuzuru once won a medal after falling 5 times in one routine because he kept attempting the same jump until he landed it and judges had to score those jumps accordingly.
When I see him I think of his poor sportsmanship on the podium in 94. Then later he was accused of inappropriate behavior and infidelity, and banned from coaching in Canada.
