If you were following Figure skating in the 1990s, you will most likely remember Philippe Candeloro, he was really one of a kind. His technique wasn't the best, but his performances were passionate and brilliant. They said at the time that he was loved by the audience (women lol) and not so much appreciated by the judges but he did win 2 olympic medals so in my opinion the judges always saw the artistry in his performances even if his technique was lacking. Great memories rewatching this performance! Merci Philippe!
He loved the audience and the audience loved him. A true showman. Some skaters even appear to be scared of the audience and it makes a difference in their performance.
Exactly What I feel, if I am not wrong He was bronce medal, but he got the gold from the public, the people did not stop of clapping. I rememeber how long the clapping were, and how he got out to skate again and again and even then I felt it was not enought, I really wanted to see him fight again. I even remember that some of the judges who are usually very neutral stood up excitedly when they saw the steps of the sword duel. Maybe noone remember the gold medal Who i am sure he really deserves it, but Philips candeloro was there and He was unforgettable
The footwork! He is so charming and a risk taker. This performance is unforgettable! He held your attention and told a story that was exciting. It's one of the best ever.
He's in my opinion, and to this day, the most charismatic skater to have ever been on ice. If you were not living in this era, his popularity was insane, this guy would steal your girl on sight. In Japan he had to flee the fans, which is not surprising when hearing the crowd.
I grew up in the 90s and loved watching figureskating with my ma. My eyes were always glued to the screen when Phillippe Candeloro was skating because I thought he was sooo handsome 🫠🤭😂❤
@@annoyingbanananaHe got grown-up men into figure skating because at some point in France, we were all taking notes about how tf he did this and what to do. We're talking about a guy who is very charming and who knows it.
Not only eye candy for the ladies but he actually put on a show for the audience . Had a character for the whole performance . You weren’t waiting for a jump you were into his whole performance .
Sorry if this is disappointing but the guy is known in France for making gross (and often sexists) comments all the time. He is what we call "un beauf" (if you don't know what "beauf" means, this definition sums it up pretty well : " [it's] a French term describing a person thought to be a combination of vulgar, unsophisticated, unintelligent, arrogant, uncaring, and chauvinistic, without any taste for etiquette or good manners."). Basically he's good when he's ice-skating and keeping his mouth shut.
A German commentator said in Nagano in 1998: "I would give him an Oscar...", so would I. The program is a masterpiece and it is unforgettable! Until today it is still exciting to see Philippe Candeloro skating as D`Artagnan and the music makes me cry every time!!!!
the way he worked the crowd was sublime: they were all so invested in his story. Chen was technically amazing, but his final coreography didn't have much footwork at all. Let it be clear: I can't skate straight to save my life, so I'm speakng as an entertained spectator.
@@emanuelemarchisio3818 It is really amazing to receive a reply to my comment after 6 years - thank you! I got the feeling that Philippe Candeloro is back again. I`m fully with you: the French guy was a great showman and had that certain something that other figure skaters today don`t have. I admire Hanyu and Chen - they are technically fantastic but their performance is not so spectacular. I don´t get goosebumps anymore...And I think we all have to accept today that the technical merit is more important then the artistic result.
The part I'm always waiting for, maybe not the most difficult (I'm not a skater so I 'm not sure) but, exactly what makes the performance very very special.
Encountered him at the 1994 Europeans. We were all waiting for an accredited bus in freezing Copenhagen. Even though there was limited space, he let everyone else get on first rather than push through like other VIPs. A class act.
22 years later and I still remember this sequence. I was 13 when I watched this and was completely mesmerised and amazed by this. Never forgotten it, simply brilliant!
Well, l was in my 30s expecting my second child. I was screaming and jumping up like crazy, almost went into labor. Just sent to my daughter, letting her know this performance, she nearly came 3 months early! 🤷🏽😂🙏🏽
God, I miss the figure skating era that Candeloro ushered in. He encouraged skaters to fill their programmes with personality and showmanship. One of the greats on the sport for sure.
Помню ещё с детства эту программу. Шикарна!!! Вот доказательство того, что не обязательно быть всегда первым, чтобы стать любимчиков зрителя!!! Филипп спасибо тебе за это))) Какой офигенный номер!!! Какая дорожка!!! Пускай без кучи 4-ых прыжков, это зрелище!!! Сколько игры актёрской!!! Вот ОН пример!!!
This is what the current obsession with the technical aspects has robbed us of. I can watch any number of skaters demonstrating how many turns they can make on a jump. After a while they all blend together and it becomes irrelevant.. A performance like this, however, no matter if there may be a technical flaw or two, is what I want to see in skating. Give me more of this and way less of "skater A did four turns and skater B only did three, so skater A is better, even though skater B drew me into his/her performance and told me a story I could invest myself in. OK, curmudgeon rant over.
I couldn't agree more. Every time I watch the Russian nationals my heart sinks when mere teenagers are expected to do the quad, and when they miss it's disheartening all round. Whoever heard of any sport where you scored double in the second half anyway? It's time to bring back the national judges and scoring the viewer can instantly understand.
@@stevebbuk You don't score double in second half, just 10% bonus on last three jumping passes and it was a rule introduced to encourage skaters to put jumps throughout their programs. In the olden days Plushenko would open with two quads and two triple axels, and then have no jumps in the last minute and and half of his programs. overall the rule adds more excitement, and in addition rewards difficulty as jumping on tired legs is insanely hard compared to shooting jumps off the top of the program. In general the 6.0 judging wasn't that fair imo, even when executed right. For example, if you stepped out of a jump you got basically no credit for that jump - so Timothy Goebels got little credit for a triple axel that he stepped out of even though it was fully rotated. And whilst there were the charming skaters such as Candeloro, much of the "choreography" that was rewarded during that era was two footed pantomiming and the odd flowery arm, and very little reward for deep edges and high levels of skating quality. Step sequences tended to be full of simple toesteps and fast feet rather than difficult quality of edges and turns.
i remember watching this live on tv. i was 13. we were visiting my uncle and his family at their house that day. all of my family members wanted to watch the event at some point. excluding me as i was not a fan of figure skating at all. i was bored and not really paying attention when we werr watching it. but when Phillippe appeared and performed his number i was literally starring at the tv and was like "oh wow!" 😀 still not interested in figure skating but its good to see his performance again here on youtube as it was something special my now 24 years older brain still remembers. should have won the gold medal.
I love Philipe! Definitely a showman, & always entertaining. I couldn't agree more with Scott Hamilton when he said that he always put the audience first & that the judges were incidental. I always said the same thing, that I really don't think he even cared if he won or not, he just wanted to entertain the audience.
He's said on French TV just last week that back then, contrary to today, making the live audience go wild for you would influence the jury. He also mentioned that the Japanese skating fans were crazy about him, going so far as stealing strands of hair off him. I'm sure he knew he could capitalize on his popularity and look, it got him a bronze medal 😊
Красавец, мужчина, мужское катание. Очень завораживающе. Какие красивые, уверенные прыжки. Очень, очень красиво. И даже не хочется считать обороты прыжков, настолько хороши. Актёр, все сумел сыграть👍👍👍
That is the problem today. In trying to iron out the problems in scoring, the new rules have made the technical score so heavily proscribed. For example, that change-foot sit at the end would not even be marked today. It would not be counted as an element, as the rule say that the skating leg must be parallel with the ice or lower. This means it would be a wasted move in the technical score and might just as well have never been done. You would get the double chevron of death on your P.D.F.!
I was 18 when this performance took place. Never forgot neither Philippe or the excitement of watching him. He was totally wonderful and unforgettable! 25 years laters and I'm still amazed and remember him as no other.
Одна из самых лучших программ в истории фигурного катания!!! Абсолютное перевоплощение на льду, потрясающий артистизм, восхитительная дорожка шагов. Такие программы остаются в памяти навсегда. Браво!!! Фигурист, который влюбил в себя весь мир. Вот сколько лет прошло, а до сих пор эту программу помню и восхищаюсь.
Дартаньян на коньках 🥰🥰🥰Уверена даже у Александра Дюма-это вызвало бы Восхищение!!Помню его выступления ещё когда училась в школе,он такой гениальный и талантливый!Сейчас таково катания нету!!
Watching this in 2021 and remembering viewing this live the night he performed this routine. Phillippe as D'Artagnan was magical and the sword fight footwork was brilliant. What a masterpiece this was.
Ça fait plaisir de revoir ce grand patineur plein de panache qui ose prendre des risques. Belle chorégraphie, belle interprétation. Bravo M Candeloro. Grand champion et personnalité attachante.
Помню это выступление 24 года назад,мы смотрели открыв рот,все женщины тогда влюбились в мушкетёра Филлипа Кондолоро!!!Это действительно,ФАНТАСТИКА,БРАВО!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤗🤗👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Кумир! Потрясающий спортсмен, великолепный актёр и необыкновенно красивый мужчина! Француз, такой, каким всегда представляется образ мушкетёра! Да, так не хватает именно таких фигуристов.
Il est tellement un peu foufou et déconneur dans la vie que je suis surpris de revoir ces images durant ses années de gloire. J'avais a peine 10 ans à l'époque, aussi mes souvenirs sont embrumés mais avec du recul, le revoir patiner, quel talent. En plus patiner au Japon dans les années 90 quel bonheur. Son degré de popularité était monstre là-bas et je me dis quel chanceux. Ça met du baume au cœur.
Это выступление на Олимпиаде в Нагано 1998 годе. Филипп был бронзовым призером. Но время прошло, а его блистательное выступление незабываемо. Его и любили за артистизм и свойственный еиу кураж ! ⚘
I saw it live on TV as a girl and figure skater myself. Of all the incredible world class routines I've seen, this one is my all time fave. Phillips it's on a show and embodies his character. I just adore his wild manly skating style also. What a hon!!!!
Какой красивый мужской ,брутальный танец - тяжелая твердая поступь и в то же время, иногда ,кажется, что земное притяжение над ним не властно - летает просто!
Как интересно было смотреть фигурное катание того периода! А сейчас кто больше напрыгает и навертит. Катаются фактически детишки. Исчезло мужское и женское... исчезла магия... исчезло представление...
I was watching this live because my friend told me to watch Philippe Candeloro. I swooned over the fighting scene and it still makes me smile 22 years later. I still watch this a few times a year. This is truly a masterpiece.
Насколько зрелищнее и интереснее было фигурное катание прошлого! Каждый фигурист имел своё лицо, индивидуальность. Теперешние все на одно лицо. Какие были показательные номера! До сих пор помним!
Кураж, харизма, артистизм, мужское обаяние, стиль, чувство музыки, чувство юмора, любовь к публике. Это все о нем! Восторг, не проходящий все эти годы.
@@evok993 If one parent is French and one is Italian, that would make him French and Italian. A person's ethnicity is from both parents. If a person is French and Chinese, that person would be French and Chinese, no matter where they were born.
@@dina113east nope, not t all. He's born and raised in France, so he's french, and it would be the same if his parents were both asians. By the way, french is a nationality, not an ethnicity...
24 ans après, j'ai toujours des frissons en regardant cette magnifique prestation. Monsieur Philippe Candeloro , vous serez toujours le meilleur pour moi. Vous faisiez preuve d'innovation et partagiez avec le public sans modération tout en vous faisant plaisir. C'était génial et tellement bien fait.... Aujourd'hui le patinage n'a pas suivi votre exemple et c'est bien dommage Un peu marre du classicisme.
Certes P Candeloro a un peu " dépoussiéré " par ses programmes et costume le patinage artistique + sa personnalité " à part " et il est encore aimé au Japon : mais maintenant plus possible d'aller au JO sans quad ( 4 tours )
Philippe brings a different edge to competitive skating, and an opportunity to opens up professional skating to create a new category. The choreography, entertaining, masculine and truly manly. My tall dark and handsome knight on skates.Well done.
06:48 Haha the dialogue with his coach, lmao! For the English speakers out here: Coach: You were great, you fought hard! Philippe: Fuck, my legs hurt. Coach: Well, yeah. That's normal, it's a lot to take. Philippe: Damn!
Lol!! Just what I'd expect to hear from such an ice skating ROCK STAR!! Thank you for sharing this extra layer of Phillipe's character for us English speaking fans. 😁😅
Очень атлетичный фигурист. Мушкетёр! И, правда, раньше катание на льду это почти всегда мини-спектакль. Пересматриваю с большим удовольствием. Спасибо, что сохранили для нас эти спортивные архивы
He is perfect. Such powerful skating, such artistry! He knows what he does. Today everybody runs behind jumping and figure skating today lost the charming what it was in past. Thanks, we have a possibility to travel back and to watch the performances of such Masters as Philip.
I'm watching this in 2022 for the first time. Where have I been? Lol smh. Now I understand the comments I've seen about people missing the more artistic, creative routines of yesteryear. I agree. My favorite part was the fencing sequence! 😁
Красавчик, талант, артист-вот это спектакль. Сейчас действительно фигурное катание неинтересно- одни прыжки, какая-то гимнастика. Танцоры неинтересны, сплошное кумовство. Дай Бог , чтобы талантливых танцоров мы увидели, а они есть в юниорах...
Почему раньше не показывали выступление этого гениального виртоуза?Да это что- то, оказывается сейчас так не выступают,да,сейчас я увидела Дартаньяна,браво,браво, браво!!!
The most masculine sexiest skater to ever grace a skating rink! I relive this moment everytime l watch this video!! I was 6 months pregnant. Never relive that, that's for sure! 😂😂🤷🏽🙏🏽🎊
I miss Scott Hamilton as a commentator. Wish he was still doing it. So nice to see someone really skate a true artistic program and still do all the jumps.
Stunning and brilliant! The Master: Philippe Candeloro. This is what performance, art and flair and pure star quality is all about. He IS D'Artagnon! And Errol Flynn and Captain Sparrow all rolled into one gorgeous form. Seen a lot of wonderful figure skating but this . . . Oh yeah. Such as these should never grow old.
Mon Dieu! Watched it then and cried. Watching it now and still thinking this is one of the best male OG LPs ever. It has got everything that actually matters: great music, incredible synchronizing to it, unmatched footwork and that amazing presence of a guy who just loves skating and that is all he cares about. Not to mention how appropriate the whole Philippe-d'Artagnan match is.
Я думаю что раньше фигуристы были более артистичными. Вспомните хотябы нашего легендарного фигуриста Игоря Бобрина. Сейчас к сожалению 99 проц конценирируються на технике и прыжки. Но я думаю что артистизм не менее важен. Я до сих пор смотрю Игоря Бобрина и Евгения Плющенко котопый показывает поосто театр на льду он очень артистичный. Я думаю саоро мы увидим 2-го Бобрина в лице маленького Арсения Федотова очень болею за него.
@@ЯнаКриницына Посмотрите его показательный номер «Ковбой» на ютюбе и Вы поймёте, почему я время от времени пересматриваю это выступление. Также как и выступления Евгения Плющенко. Какие постановки!
Wow! Just watched him again after wat watching Chen (best technical skate ever) and Hanyu (amazingly graceful) again last week. One thing's for sure...figure skating has changed, and I sorely miss you Philippe. Even Brian Orser's 'The Bolt' puts today's skaters to shame. Too bad that corrupt judges brought us to this stage. And it's so obvious that Philippe worked hard at skating. This program brought me to tears...totally moving...totally under-rated skater.
Geez this guy had the ladies in his hands 2:05 they scream with him just smiling and bowing 2:17 they scream with him imitating swinging his sword after that it just gets too many to count how many times they cheer for him haha best and most memorable program that year
agators212 He was enormously popular in Japan so he absolutely had the crowd in his hands. The girls just loved him. He couldn’t have asked for a better performance at a better time in a better place
The best program in Nagano and one of the best of all time. It's a pity that Candeloro always(alomost) fell at least once. He could be an olympic champion with a cleaner jumping! I adored watching him!
It’s difficult. His skate is good, style is good, and also with an art feeling. But his difficulties are not, without four, landing still has problems.
i don't even remember who was the gold medalist of nagano olympics, but i still clearly remember this fantastic performance. what a showmanship! i see why he got love of japanese ladies. he's a man!

The fact that is 2024 and I came back to watch this, it tells how great this performance was.
You know it was good when even the host country spectators (Japanese) are rooting for you and holding the French Flag instead of their own.
An excellent entertainer.

He loved the audience and the audience loved him. A true showman. Some skaters even appear to be scared of the audience and it makes a difference in their performance.
He was my favorite!!! Excellent skills!
Perfect analysis
The 90's was the best time for heartthrobs in figure skating. So many masculine men in the sport at that time.
Exactly What I feel, if I am not wrong He was bronce medal, but he got the gold from the public, the people did not stop of clapping. I rememeber how long the clapping were, and how he got out to skate again and again and even then I felt it was not enought, I really wanted to see him fight again. I even remember that some of the judges who are usually very neutral stood up excitedly when they saw the steps of the sword duel. Maybe noone remember the gold medal Who i am sure he really deserves it, but Philips candeloro was there and He was unforgettable
The footwork! He is so charming and a risk taker. This performance is unforgettable! He held your attention and told a story that was exciting. It's one of the best ever.
Yea the cool sword fighting was neat
He's in my opinion, and to this day, the most charismatic skater to have ever been on ice.
If you were not living in this era, his popularity was insane, this guy would steal your girl on sight. In Japan he had to flee the fans, which is not surprising when hearing the crowd.

We're talking about a guy who is very charming and who knows it.
That step sequence is better than any quad jump!
Figure skating would become so much more popular once again if it wasn't all about the jumps.
Definitely this guy sure is entertaining to watch, you don't know what to expect.
I know this comment is three years old, but man I miss artistry and showmanship in skating
He looks like a matador. 😊
Vasilij Utkin!
Not only eye candy for the ladies but he actually put on a show for the audience . Had a character for the whole performance . You weren’t waiting for a jump you were into his whole performance .
Exactly this! 'You weren't waiting for a jump'. Ever. We didn't have to. Everything flowed within this captivating performance.
I remember watching this at 8 years old and thinking how handsome he is 😁
Yes!
Definitely eye candy! Plus an amazing skater and performer.

But, please tell me, where can we see him??
So did I ! This was lengendary and when I remember Candeloro, it's in his d'Artagnan outfit.
Yep! My brother said if he didnt get the gold for skating, he should win an Oscar for best actor.
Omg that 'sword fight' footwork sequence!!! Amazing!!
The part I'm always waiting for, maybe not the most difficult (I'm not a skater so I 'm not sure) but, exactly what makes the performance very very special.
Rarement vu un public de patinage aussi enthousiaste, et on les comprend : la performance est folle !
Encountered him at the 1994 Europeans. We were all waiting for an accredited bus in freezing Copenhagen. Even though there was limited space, he let everyone else get on first rather than push through like other VIPs. A class act.
Excellent. Good manners are key.
I remember watching this live. Still one of the most exciting Olympic moments for me! That footwork sequence - divine!
Same here Jennifer!!!
Same for me !!!!!!!!!!
Ditto! So glad to see this posted!
Brought back memories.... he was one of our favorites! Stumbled upon this video! Now I can rewind and watch again! Yes, DIVINE! God bless you!
Same here. Still rember where i was seekng this performance live. It was a wonderful performance.
He is the manliest man I've ever seen on ice. That sword fight! 🥰 He is a joy to watch!
突然お勧めに出て来ました。
私の知るフィギュアの演技の中で、一番記憶に残る演技です。
たまに無性に見たくなる😊
本当に世界観に引き込まれます。
22 years later and I still remember this sequence. I was 13 when I watched this and was completely mesmerised and amazed by this. Never forgotten it, simply brilliant!
I was 13 as well! I never forgot his name after this performance :)
To be honest, I am not really much a fan of figure skating, but I remember this performance fondly.
Same !
That year was great !
Well, l was in my 30s expecting my second child. I was screaming and jumping up like crazy, almost went into labor. Just sent to my daughter, letting her know this performance, she nearly came 3 months early! 🤷🏽😂🙏🏽
He truly deserved his medal. He was not the very best technical ice skater, but artistically he was the best in the world back then !!!
My favorite ice skating performance of all time. In my eyes, it's pure gold. So exuberant, so entertaining. Love it!!!!!
God, I miss the figure skating era that Candeloro ushered in. He encouraged skaters to fill their programmes with personality and showmanship. One of the greats on the sport for sure.
50 ans aujourd'hui !! Bravo Philippe pour ta magnifique carrière !! 👏👏🇫🇷
I was 18 and fell in love with this perfomance and Philippe!! No one else mattered in that competition for me.
Me too...same
His love of adventure and turning the ice rink into a caveat of wonder and joy with his skating moves just thrills audiences worldwide. Thank you 😊
I was 7. Saw him, loved him. This has stuck with me since.

moi aussi ! qu'est-ce que c'était beau ! et quelle performance !
He really did the skate of his life. I watched the European Championships with this same program and he was on fire here.
Love him. Absolutely love him. His commitment to character is rarely seen in figure skating today. He is what artistry in the sport is all about.
Me too. He"s my all time fave male skater hands down. I miss seeing him out there.....
Indeed Philippe after Javier Fernandez today super super. 👑🏆🏆⛸️⛸️🇩🇪💋💋💋
Those French skaters always had that flare.

Дартаньян на коньках 🥰🥰🥰Уверена даже у Александра Дюма-это вызвало бы Восхищение!!Помню его выступления ещё когда училась в школе,он такой гениальный и талантливый!Сейчас таково катания нету!!
Watching this in 2021 and remembering viewing this live the night he performed this routine. Phillippe as D'Artagnan was magical and the sword fight footwork was brilliant. What a masterpiece this was.
I could watch this guy anytime of the day whenever he is just one brilliant French skater...😊❤
This NEVER gets old!!!
Never!
Ça fait plaisir de revoir ce grand patineur plein de panache qui ose prendre des risques. Belle chorégraphie, belle interprétation. Bravo M Candeloro. Grand champion et personnalité attachante.
When it came to showmanship, nobody could touch Philippe Candeloro!! Even in the golden age of 90s figure skating (which I miss!)
Philippe Candeloro toujours un spectacle vibrant
Помню это выступление 24 года назад,мы смотрели открыв рот,все женщины тогда влюбились в мушкетёра Филлипа Кондолоро!!!Это действительно,ФАНТАСТИКА,БРАВО!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤗🤗👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Обожаю !!!!!! Тоже была влюблена , в тот образ , который он нам предоставил. Это было что то из сказки , а что-то из моих мыслей.
Кумир!
Потрясающий спортсмен, великолепный актёр и необыкновенно красивый мужчина!
Француз, такой, каким всегда представляется образ мушкетёра!
Да, так не хватает именно таких фигуристов.
У нас есть такие фигуристы! Увы, это не россияне...
Still one of my favorite performances of all time :)
Hab diesen Lauf damals im Fernsehen gesehen und nie vergessen....einer der genialsten Läufe überhaupt
There are a lot of good skaters today too, but I miss this creative kind of programs so much!
The current rules of figure skating no longer allow this kind of artistic freedom.
This is the figure skating I love. The one that tells a story, not the one that does as much ticks as they can
Il est tellement un peu foufou et déconneur dans la vie que je suis surpris de revoir ces images durant ses années de gloire. J'avais a peine 10 ans à l'époque, aussi mes souvenirs sont embrumés mais avec du recul, le revoir patiner, quel talent. En plus patiner au Japon dans les années 90 quel bonheur. Son degré de popularité était monstre là-bas et je me dis quel chanceux. Ça met du baume au cœur.
merveilleux Candeloro , jamais égalé , jamais imité , et qui remplissait les stades , je vous adresse encore toute mon admiration .
🙏🏽🇨🇵
PHILIPPE notre chouchou national !!@ bravo pour tes performances et surtout quel charisme !!!!
Это выступление на Олимпиаде в Нагано 1998 годе. Филипп был бронзовым призером. Но время прошло, а его блистательное выступление незабываемо. Его и любили за артистизм и свойственный еиу кураж ! ⚘
Вот это катание мужское катание стильное, красивое, глаз не оторвать! Молодец!
И запомнился! Сколько лет прошло, а ао сих пор помню его прокаты! Всегда им восхищалась!
Just saw this for the first time in 2019 and got fascinated how he tells a story on ice! I'm in love with this routine!
First time for me too, 2020.
I saw it live on TV as a girl and figure skater myself. Of all the incredible world class routines I've seen, this one is my all time fave. Phillips it's on a show and embodies his character. I just adore his wild manly skating style also. What a hon!!!!
@@emilygraham9968 I saw it years ago. My husband streamed it.
@@emilygraham9968 Philippe
Какой красивый мужской ,брутальный танец - тяжелая твердая поступь и в то же время, иногда ,кажется, что земное притяжение над ним не властно - летает просто!
Как интересно было смотреть фигурное катание того периода! А сейчас кто больше напрыгает и навертит. Катаются фактически детишки. Исчезло мужское и женское... исчезла магия... исчезло представление...
Я на 100 % согласна. С тех времён помню многих и женщин и мужчин и пар. Это было что то. Сегодня мне не интересно смотреть.
Все верно!
👏👏👏👏👏
И сейчас попадаются интересные номера, но в целом да, та атмосфера была ближе к мистерии..
@@zdenkamytnikova8303 это вы ещё Тойлера Крэнстома не видели, чтобы писать такое.!
J'adore ! Regarde ça en 2022 et ça me met des frissons !
I was watching this live because my friend told me to watch Philippe Candeloro. I swooned over the fighting scene and it still makes me smile 22 years later. I still watch this a few times a year. This is truly a masterpiece.
何故かオススメに出てきてくれた。
こんなにカッコ良くてエンターテナーな人を初めて見たから、小さい頃夢中になってました。
Насколько зрелищнее и интереснее было фигурное катание прошлого! Каждый фигурист имел своё лицо, индивидуальность. Теперешние все на одно лицо. Какие были показательные номера! До сих пор помним!
Что верно, то верно!
А сегодня хоть кто-то смотрит фигурное катание вообще ? все в тик_токе сидят )
Был еще такой канадец Толлер Кренстон👍
@@annalehnert4008 О, я его прекрасно помню!
В последние годы очень артистичным был Хави Фернандес
Кураж, харизма, артистизм, мужское обаяние, стиль, чувство музыки, чувство юмора, любовь к публике. Это все о нем! Восторг, не проходящий все эти годы.
Magic! This is so French... ! This is beautiful. At 3:59, goosebumps, insane sequence
Except that his father Luigi is Italian. The surname Candeloro is of Italian origin. Of course Philppe was born and raised in France.
@@dina113east Her mother is french
@@dina113east so he's french.
As simple as that ;)
@@evok993 If one parent is French and one is Italian, that would make him French and Italian. A person's ethnicity is from both parents. If a person is French and Chinese, that person would be French and Chinese, no matter where they were born.
@@dina113east nope, not t all.
He's born and raised in France, so he's french, and it would be the same if his parents were both asians.
By the way, french is a nationality, not an ethnicity...
24 ans après, j'ai toujours des frissons en regardant cette magnifique prestation. Monsieur Philippe Candeloro , vous serez toujours le meilleur pour moi. Vous faisiez preuve d'innovation et partagiez avec le public sans modération tout en vous faisant plaisir. C'était génial et tellement bien fait....
Aujourd'hui le patinage n'a pas suivi votre exemple et c'est bien dommage
Un peu marre du classicisme.
Moi aussi j ai toujours des frissons à revoir cette prestation. C était un travail de maître !
Certes P Candeloro a un peu " dépoussiéré " par ses programmes et costume le patinage artistique + sa personnalité " à part " et il est encore aimé au Japon : mais maintenant plus possible d'aller au JO sans quad ( 4 tours )
I remember i watched thst live, rooting for Elvis Stojko and then this guy comes, completely blew my mind.
Philippe brings a different edge to competitive skating, and an opportunity to opens up professional skating to create a new category. The choreography, entertaining, masculine and truly manly. My tall dark and handsome knight on skates.Well done.
Almost 20 years and still adorable programm
Merci, Philippe ! Le don total, le panache à la Française ! Merci merci merci , votre coeur pour la France, transperce la glace !!
La ou le patinage artistique prend tout son sens :') magnifique
Le plus beau programme chorégraphique qui restera dans les annales et jamais exécuté !
Я такого еще не видела! Даже сейчас, фигуриста такого фантастического уровня подготовки нет!!
Like Stojko, he was a man of his own convictions. He loved to entertain and his fans loved him for it. Magnifique!
my favourite skater of all times. and the most manly i've ever seen too
06:48 Haha the dialogue with his coach, lmao! For the English speakers out here:
Coach: You were great, you fought hard!
Philippe: Fuck, my legs hurt.
Coach: Well, yeah. That's normal, it's a lot to take.
Philippe: Damn!
Anouche Delprat Thank you!
Lol!! Just what I'd expect to hear from such an ice skating ROCK STAR!! Thank you for sharing this extra layer of Phillipe's character for us English speaking fans. 😁😅
🤣🤣
C'est tout Candel ça ! 😅
@@augustinedebosson9343 et là il est soft😉
Восторг! Это же театр одного актера... Брависсимо!
Филипп артистичен невероятно.
А позже был "Человек в железной маске" Алексея Ягудина. Видимо, Алексей и Татьяна Тарасова впечатлились этим выступлением и немножечко сплагиатили...
@@СветланаМещерякова-о3х всё верно. И шаги тоже самое скопировали
Очень атлетичный фигурист. Мушкетёр! И, правда, раньше катание на льду это почти всегда мини-спектакль.
Пересматриваю с большим удовольствием. Спасибо, что сохранили для нас эти спортивные архивы
Красавец и великолепный фигурист !!!
Браво,достоин восхищения!!!
He is perfect. Such powerful skating, such artistry! He knows what he does. Today everybody runs behind jumping and figure skating today lost the charming what it was in past. Thanks, we have a possibility to travel back and to watch the performances of such Masters as Philip.
4:10 That was one of the most memorable moment in ice skating history 😮😮😮
👍👍👍
That’s my favourite bit too!
Oui...super moment ...le plus mémorable pour moi aussi ...
Je n'avais jamais vu cette prestation auparavant. J'ai été vraiment surpris de la qualité de son patinage. Exceptionnel 😄 😄❤️
Ctn très bonne gars tout simple et pourtant un très grand sportif
@@ugurtarkan95 le boss, le xav
I'm watching this in 2022 for the first time. Where have I been? Lol smh. Now I understand the comments I've seen about people missing the more artistic, creative routines of yesteryear. I agree. My favorite part was the fencing sequence! 😁
日本語で失礼します。私はキャンディローロさんのこの演技が大好きです。三銃士のダルタニアンを演じたらこの人の右に出る人は、居ないでしょう。剣を持って戦って居るのがめに映るようです。最後に剣を鞘に戻す姿もそのままに見えてきます。あれから20年経っても、変わらずに見せてくれる。バック宙返りも凄いです。尊敬できるスケーターだと思います。
横川Mark Jason
私もそう思います。
伊藤みどりさんの解説で、ストレートラインのところで、「すごいステップをやってるわけでもないんですけどね」とあったけど、でもあの演技力と雰囲気が、この「ダルタニアン」に加味され、更に良い滑りになったのだと思います。
去年、40代半ばでもこの演目を滑ったのも、彼ならではの素晴らしさだと思います！
大好きです！
ホント‼️ 今頃で申し訳ないですが｡｡｡｡素晴らしい方ですね✨✨✨時代とともに移りゆく選手の方々ですが、素晴らしいです✨✨✨
日本語の解説よりこの動画の解説とアングルが好きです。
解説者も凄く楽しんでるのがわかるし、多分みんなコレぐらいワクワクしながら演技に引き込まれていたから共感しながら気持ちが盛り上がる❗️
とにかく楽しい気持ちにさせてくれる！
初めて見た日から何度見ても何年経っても一番好きな演目です。
技術だけでは無い演技力に惹きつけられるものがありますね！
剣が見えるのは私だけでは無いはず😊
Красавчик, талант, артист-вот это спектакль. Сейчас действительно фигурное катание неинтересно- одни прыжки, какая-то гимнастика. Танцоры неинтересны, сплошное кумовство. Дай Бог , чтобы талантливых танцоров мы увидели, а они есть в юниорах...
❤❤❤
Почему раньше не показывали выступление этого гениального виртоуза?Да это что- то, оказывается сейчас так не выступают,да,сейчас я увидела Дартаньяна,браво,браво, браво!!!
О, я помню это выступление! Он тогда запомнился на всю жизнь. Сколько лет прошло, а знаменитая дорожка шагов в сердце навсегда.
Шикарное катание, до слёз!!
Все показывали! Вы смотрели фигурное катание в 1998 году?
Как это не показывали? Я помню его, была маленькой, но помню его.
Сейчас дети выступают. А раньше зрелые мужчины. У них был стиль, чувство к прекрасному.
Великолепно,настоящее мужское катание, уверенно,сильно,бесстрашно и авантюрно..браво!!!!
Шляпу и шпагу!👌🤗
The most masculine sexiest skater to ever grace a skating rink! I relive this moment everytime l watch this video!! I was 6 months pregnant. Never relive that, that's for sure! 😂😂🤷🏽🙏🏽🎊
@@angelasmith3967 i loved ice skating for that reason émotion for me the best was nice 2000
Вообще,первый раз вижу.
Но,с Вами согласна.
Прям,Пират😏
@@твк-о9ф Д Артаньян!
大好きだった！あの振り付けといいお芝居を見ているみたいでかっこよかった。子供だったけどすごく覚えています。
1998 Nagano, this was one from best WG, I saw Philippe Candeloro on the ice (only from TV) but was it beautiful.
I miss Scott Hamilton as a commentator. Wish he was still doing it. So nice to see someone really skate a true artistic program and still do all the jumps.
Yes.
Великолепный фигурист, помню его , следила за его выступлениями.Каждый прокат как спектакль, не то-что сейчас одни прыжки и никакого смысла.
❤ and he loved entertaining his fans as much as winning!
Stunning and brilliant! The Master: Philippe Candeloro. This is what performance, art and flair and pure star quality is all about. He IS D'Artagnon! And Errol Flynn and Captain Sparrow all rolled into one gorgeous form. Seen a lot of wonderful figure skating but this . . . Oh yeah. Such as these should never grow old.
❤❤❤❤❤
わー！
この演目大好きだったから、また観ることができてめっちゃ嬉しい！！
やっぱりキャンデロロ最高にかっこよー！
Mon Dieu! Watched it then and cried. Watching it now and still thinking this is one of the best male OG LPs ever. It has got everything that actually matters: great music, incredible synchronizing to it, unmatched footwork and that amazing presence of a guy who just loves skating and that is all he cares about. Not to mention how appropriate the whole Philippe-d'Artagnan match is.
WOW!! What a performance! What a performer! This was simply gorgeous!!
До сих пор помню, как сильно он мне тогда понравился. И такие же мурашки сейчас) А за артистизм и обаяние железобетонные шестерки)
Яна Криницына он прекрасен и публика без ума от него !!!
@@allaname9293 да, золото за это не дадут. Зато у него есть самая дорогая награда. Зрители его всегда обожать будут)
Я думаю что раньше фигуристы были более артистичными. Вспомните хотябы нашего легендарного фигуриста Игоря Бобрина.
Сейчас к сожалению 99 проц конценирируються на технике и прыжки. Но я думаю что артистизм не менее важен. Я до сих пор смотрю Игоря Бобрина и Евгения Плющенко котопый показывает поосто театр на льду он очень артистичный.
Я думаю саоро мы увидим 2-го Бобрина в лице маленького Арсения Федотова очень болею за него.
@@gulyaazadxalg1521 хотелось бы, чтобы вы оказались правы) когда выступал Бобрин, меня ещё не было, но слышала)
@@ЯнаКриницына Посмотрите его показательный номер «Ковбой» на ютюбе и Вы поймёте, почему я время от времени пересматриваю это выступление. Также как и выступления Евгения Плющенко. Какие постановки!
Incroyable Monsieur . Vraiment incroyable. Vous avez de quoi être une grande gueule à la hauteur d’un grand artiste. Bravo
Wow! Just watched him again after wat watching Chen (best technical skate ever) and Hanyu (amazingly graceful) again last week. One thing's for sure...figure skating has changed, and I sorely miss you Philippe. Even Brian Orser's 'The Bolt' puts today's skaters to shame. Too bad that corrupt judges brought us to this stage.
And it's so obvious that Philippe worked hard at skating. This program brought me to tears...totally moving...totally under-rated skater.
You nailed it!
❤❤❤❤
Geez this guy had the ladies in his hands
2:05 they scream with him just smiling and bowing
2:17 they scream with him imitating swinging his sword
after that it just gets too many to count how many times they cheer for him haha
best and most memorable program that year
agators212 He was enormously popular in Japan so he absolutely had the crowd in his hands. The girls just loved him. He couldn’t have asked for a better performance at a better time in a better place
Philippe Candeloro un génie du patinage
Exceptionnel
Mille fois bravos 👍👍👍👍👍👍
The best program in Nagano and one of the best of all time. It's a pity that Candeloro always(alomost) fell at least once. He could be an olympic champion with a cleaner jumping! I adored watching him!
It’s difficult. His skate is good, style is good, and also with an art feeling. But his difficulties are not, without four, landing still has problems.
i don't even remember who was the gold medalist of nagano olympics, but i still clearly remember this fantastic performance. what a showmanship! i see why he got love of japanese ladies. he's a man!
Kulik was an amazing jumper, but flawless technique was all there was to his performance.
@@MissSharpMouth You're mostly correct, but I do remember his short program to the Addam's Family theme.
