[@teresitadejesusjuarez6278]

Plushenko es hipnotizante un genio. Por siempre el Número 1.❤️💪🇦🇷

[@ЕленаАкс-м8ь]

Plushenko, of course. Greatest figure skater of all times!

[@lauragallardo1593]

Evgeni por lejos el mejor

[@teresamartino91]

Plushenko semplicemente fantastico

[@Наталья-с2е4й]

Ягудин выступил отвратительно. Как он умудрился попасть в призеры?

[@mvsm2309]

​@@Наталья-с2е4йBecause the short program score was very high

[@stuckin2003]

Don't remember ever seeing this Gladiator program for Elvis. Really liked it. I kind of wish he would have kept it for 2002.

[@heavenlyjoy8218]

I'm pretty sure this was the only time he ever skated it because he was injured the rest of this season. I haven't watched it in forever, so I don't remember if it's any good or not! The only thing I remember was that he was a mess on the jumps at that competition.

[@paskatefan]

Jumping for joy for Todd, although I felt that he deserved no less than silver here. He was on fire!

[@lindacrowe8428]

His footwork is untouchable.

[@sgsmozart]

It was an era when men skated more " masculinely" and to better music than now..

[@zendeer623]

Плющенко- непревзойдённый , гений льда !

[@zendeer623]

Евгений Плющенко - это украшение фигурного катания ! !!!!!!

[@maxnaturamour7200]

Thank you for uploading. Sandhu was on fire here because he was finally free of all expectations of him. )) May be it was the real reason why he failed his SP so often. )) But to speak ernestly, among all others he did look like as a prince on ice with his aristocratic pure lines, movements and beautiful high jumps. Yes, he never was stable and consistent but neither he was ever dull and not interesting to watch, especially this FS with the personal meaning to him, about his own big journey before that season. And he put so much personality in it without falling in extreme like in case of Pluschenko here: he'd overplayed so much that it looked actually almost vulgare... I am glad that here Sandhu has got what he wanted: to be in the first 10 and together with Stoiko he obtained 3 quotas for Ol. 2002. Respect to Elvis for applauding Emanuel after his skating.

[@MaryAnderson-x9j]

It was always a shame Sandhu could never conquer his mind and put 2 programs together. He had a lot of talent

[@ОльгаСкачкова-ж2ь]

Элвису далеко до до Плющенко и Ягудина , дорожка шагов никакая и видно уровень низкий

[@iluvbluecookies97]

Todd Eldredge should have won no less than silver here. Although without a quad, he had the best program of the night and performed it really well. Full offense but Yagudin was sloppy here.

[@cherylhulting1301]

Yeah, I used to scratch my head at how sloppy Alexei could sometimes be, and yet still be able to beat Todd by virtue of having the quad. I don't mean to dismiss Yagudin; he was a fantastically talented skater. But at times he could be less consistent than Todd because Alexei could let his control get away from him. I still can't help but feel that Todd should have beaten Alexei for the World Championship title in 1998.

[@лЛюдмилаШелестова]

А если подумать о лучшем катании и лучшей программе

[@НатальяКозионова-й7о]

​И всё-таки Алексей был лучше, просто так чемпионами не становятся. Ягудин гениальный спортсмен!

[@Victoria29112]

@iluvbluecookies97 Посмотрите программу Тодда еще раз-он сделал один каскад 3+3,все остальные прыжки сольные,у него хорошие вращения,дорожки шагов медленные и ужасные.То что Тодд называет артистизмом называется "лицо как камень",никаких эмоций в программах нет. По эти причинам базовая стоимость программы Тодда ниже. У Ягудина были ошибки,но его программа более сложная,скорость скольжения выше,дорожки невероятные.Конечно базовая оценка программы выше .О презентации даже говорить не стоит. Учитывая прокат короткой программы фигуристами лучше результата быть не могло. Произвольная программа это комплекс прыжков,переходов,вращений,дорожек,интерпретация музыки и даже костюм.Тодд чисто прыгает тройные прыжки,отличные вращения,это все что он показал .Бронзу он заслужил,нод для серебра необходимо что-то получше

[@Fiero425]

The FS intelligentsia has already decided all comp. would virtually be btwn. Alexei & Evgeny. You see how they kept Plushenko #4 after disappointing SP at SLC Olympics in 2002. ;-)

[@oopsydoopsy1939]

I always rooted for Sandhu and Chouinard but they could never quite put it together consistently.

[@Danny-wy8kz]

Where can I find the video of Honda’s routine?

[@лЛюдмилаШелестова]

Кому берегли60 если жене не дали??!

[@L1623VP]

Although Yadugin was sick, based on the major errors in his LP, he shouldn't even have made the podium. Todd, being a much better all-around skater than Plushenko, should have won this title with his two flawless programs. But...with this being the last Worlds before the 2002 Olympics, the ISU judges weren't about to break the momentum of the Yagudin/Plushenko rivalry going into those Games, so they chose Plushenko for the win and threw the silver to Yagudin. Todd was better than both of them here, even without the quad.

[@darthvader8810]

Todd looks like poop here, and his skating contributes this image. It’s not even close to Plushenko or Yagudin with artistry or technique (no quads at all)

[@L1623VP]

@@darthvader8810 Clearly, you didn't watch the competition.

[@cherylhulting1301]

I'm a big Todd Eldredge fan and I do feel that his "Gettysburg" should have picked up the silver over Yagudin's more ragged performance of "Gladiator" that day. I did feel a bit sorry for Alexei; that was a great program for him wnen he was in full health. But no, Todd wasn't going to beat Evgeni and he really shouldn't. Plushenko's program. "Once upon a Time in America," is delightfully weird and avant garde; it was more "out of the box" than Todd's piece. That makes an impression. Plush's opening combination jump, well executed here, marked the first time the quad toe-triple loop- double toe had ever been landed at the Worlds, and the substituted triple axel was huge and impactful. At this time Plushenko had just about the strongest jump technique of all the male skaters and he simply left no room for the other skaters with his confident execution of the jumps, which this time were more varied and carefully placed through most of the program. Evgeni's circular footwork sequence was more difficult than Todd's footwork and the grace notes of the Beillman spiral and spin at the end created a beautiful symmetry. Evgeni clearly connected with this film and there's an understated but present connection to the music, more here than I had seen in some of his earlier programs. The program had a mysterious and cool edge and he never dropped off in intensity while skating it. I thought Todd performed well at this competition. But the right guy won.

[@Fslove-zo4nk]

What major error did Yagudin make in SP? He was absolutely sensational and caused standing ovations

[@L1623VP]

@@Fslove-zo4nk No, there were no major errors in the SP. I originally thought he'd had problems in both programs. Even so, a clean SP with one quad shouldn't have been enough to make up for his very mistake-ridden LP to place him in second overall above Todd Eldridge who had two pristine programs. Todd should at least have won silver at these Worlds, and in my book gold, but the skating higher powers wanted to keep fueling the Yagudin/Plushenko rivalry going into the 2002 Olympics. That's figure skating.

[@Salmiyaguy1]

Emmanuel Sandhu before all that cosmetic surgery and fillers. I wish Elvis had retired and coached him. His coach Joanne McCleod was a hot mess who screwed up the careers of many skaters with great skill and potential including Sandhu. She didn't have what it took to make great skaters into champions.

[@НатальяКозионова-й7о]

Алексей Ягудин Великий спортсмен!!! Для меня Лучший фигурист планеты!!!❤👏💐

[@valerijaseikstule7555]

Yagudin is the best❤️

[@dreamgirl8093]

Always !!!!! Yagudin is genius of skating. The King of ice! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@cherylhulting1301]

Yagudin was a very talented skater but the injury did impact on his performance here.

[@Наталья-с2е4й]

Однотипный. А Плющенко мог и танго исполнить, и секс-бомб. Западные судьи всегда завышали ему оценки, несмотря на его кувыркания и приземления, извините, на жопу. Олимпиаду 2002 он, конечно, выиграл справедливо. Но, кроме его "Зимы" нечего вспомнить​@@cherylhulting1301

[@Fiero425]

Evgeny pushed Alexei to do more in his program that inevitably broke him down. Yagudin could defeat all other skaters with minimal effort. He had to hit 2 quads and it was too much for that hip. ;-)

[@MADHAUSMARKALLAN]

Sandhu was robbed.
