2004 NHK Trophy Shizuka Arakawa SP Madame Butterfly

[@Miramaria9]

物凄く全てを持っている人。柔軟性と筋力、体のバランス、運動神経。度胸もあって頭も良く冷静で勝負師。ポテンシャルがとても大きい。それを持て余さずに最後に勝負に出て見事にオリンピックで輝いた。こんなに揃ってる人はなかなかもう出てこないと思う。

This is Tatiana Tarasova's choreography. Beautiful skating, beautiful music, and even costume/make-up suits her. Wonderufl quality. She was so pretty in 2004.

蝶々夫人は彼女の競技プロではこの時の演技が一番。ショーでは2012年のOpera on Iceで夕顔衣装でのパフォーマンスが、いつか見てみたいとずっと思っていた通りのものでした。

優雅に舞う荒川静香さんのスケーティングは今観ても最高🎵😆私は荒川静香さんと浅田真央さんの滑りが好き👌

[@anne91276]

Oh, I love this! I was looking all over for Shizuka doing the Madame Butterfly in comparison to that performed by either Kristi Yamaguchi and Lu Chen!

Thank you for uploading this!

やっぱ刈屋さんの実況はいいな～

[@Seresu1]

@hikkirocks Yes, I watched it long time ago but unfortunately didn't download it. I remember she did a triple-triple there and I want to include it in my video with her triple-triples. Have you watched any of my videos with triple-triples? My newest video is with Miki Ando's quad. In case of her spirals they were great in 2005-2006 season. She had to sustain them longer because of CoP and it made her beautiful positions great to watch rather then rushed spirals she used to do in her early years.

やっぱ荒川静香さんが一番芸術性高いとおもう。あとはサーシャコーエンさんがすき。男子はアレクセイヤグディンさんがいい。

[@まっすん-v1w]

全てのスキルを兼ね備えてるが、ひけらかさずに要所要所でクリティカルヒットを出して世界’０４と五輪’０６を獲ったのは、選手人生を通してトータル的・結果論的に非常にクレバーだった。

[@Seresu1]

@hikkirocks Have you hot anything else rare from Shizuka? For example 2006 Campbell's or Japan International Skating Challenge. Or maybe 2002-2003 GPF or something from early 2000s?

[@taktshi3036]

彼女も難しいこといとも簡単にやるよな

[@hikkirocks]

@Seresu1 Sorry for the late reply. I'll see if I can find them on my hard drive. Her performance at JISC where she debuted the Fantasy Impromptu LP was great, wasn't it? The spiral sequence there is my favourite!

[@廣田理子]

I remember Her beautiful performance 🌸

[@hikkirocks]

@Seresu1 You're welcome :)

[@annecohen8927]

She did this better than other skaters. And was her jump height huge ?
