Duchesnay & Duchesnay (FRA) - 1991 World Figure Skating Championships, Free Dance

[@theafitzpatrick8415]

I loved the Duchesnays! They had a tremendous connection on the ice; Paul was the driving force in this duo, but he said numerous times he would only skate with his sister Isabelle. Many did not like them, but fortunately their 1991 World Championship and 1992 Olympic Silver Medal cannot EVER be taken away from them! They still have millions of fans who go on KZbin daily to watch their performances! Isabelle and Paul, you two were the BEST!

[@bindi06]

+Thea Fitzpatrick Agree with you 100%. Plus, Paul was so incredibly good looking!! I find myself watching him far more than Isabelle...

[@theafitzpatrick8415]

+bindi06 You are right! There was no mistaking the incredible magnetism and sensual appeal that Paul Duchesnay possessed. He was extremely attractive. But the most attractive thing about him, to me, was the intimate connection and total love he has for his sister Isabelle. That's why they were great!

[@josieshy2376]

+bindi06 +Thea Fitzpatrick Paul had indeed an Expression and charisma that remains unmatched until today, I'd say. And Isabelle was (and I guess she still is!) so beautiful! Their physical appearances matched very well together, they looked so much alike and displayed such great harmony. Just a pleasure to watch.

Who cares who won. This is one of the most beautiful dances ever performed.

[@chelseafn104]

They were way ahead of their time!! I can remember watching them at the 88 Olympics. I still say they should have won the Gold!!

Quel IMMENSE plaisir que de les revoir! Ils m'ont fortement impressionnés quand je les ai vus la première fois à cette époque. Ils ont été mon grand coup de cœur. Innovateurs et si beaux. Merci de les avoir mis ici pour le plaisir de les revoir...et revoir...et revoir. BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!

Very creative choreography and lifts, executed very well.

[@josieshy2376]

I just don't understand why this couple gets so harshly criticized here - in a thread of their winning performance! Sometimes, expression and passion may win over accuracy. The audience back then appreciated that decision of the judges. I must admit that their Missing I program in '90 was even better and should have won.

[@GameofthronesMystery]

Always the crowd favorite no matter where they skated, not the best technically but untouchable artistically. This is the only sport in which artistry should win over technical abilities always but with today's format they have taken the creativity away, it's only a technical show off now.

Isabelle and Paul Duchesnay - simply the best! After them Ice Dancing never was the same. It became boring!

[@renatalimarzi]

blueeyedgirl I totally agree with you! No one like Paul and Isabelle. They have changed the dance on ice forever.

[@tungrux]

I absolutely agree with you. They have the best accuracy of all times in skating.

[@goteborgbarcelona8014]

Maybe skill came from U.R.S.S. couple,(K&P is one of the greatest couples ever) but magic and carisma belonged to the French couple this time . The crowd chose their favourites. In the end, figure skating has a subjective part.

Thank you Christopher dean !

[@jackolantern6715]

Klimova and Ponomarenko had a difficult free dance but I think what won Duschenays the gold here is the musicality in their routine. K&P had better technical content but their routine lacked musicality...especially compared to their routine in the Olympics a year later.

[@tally1604]

they didn't win the free dance. as a matter of fact, they placed 2nd in both compulsories and original dances. they only reason they got the title is that the judges put usova/zhulin third in the free by a 5-4 split(5 third places, and 4 first places)

[@nolaughingmatter]

It’s rare to see this kind of raptor and enthusiasm for an ice dancing performance… we just don’t see this kind of creativity and audience participation today due to figure skating’s declining popularity

[@01doha]

You can see Christopher deans influence in just about every step 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@nuno7588]

Ce sont Isabelle et Paul qui ont fait le plus dur et périlleux travail et non leur chorégraphe.

Why do I feel like I could do this free dance, and I can't even skate backwards? 😭 The last move was great though. "Somewhat ragged" Sandra? 😂😂😂

[@АлексейВозьмилов-у6г]

Судейские игры на Чемпионате мира 1991 г в Мюнхене сделали возможным победу Дюшене. Но лучшее исполнение «танца чилийских бедняков» было на европейском чемпионате 1990 г в Ленинграде. Судьи дали им бронзу. Дома в Галифаксе уже серебро. Брат и сестра не умели чисто катать обязательные танцы. А оригинальный танец 92 полька,когда он как молодой козлик прыгал в комбенизоне весь танец и им дали 2 место. Кто пообещал им золото в Алльбервилле?! Это была странная пара. История не знает сослагательного наклонения. Они только призеры Олимпиады 1992 года. И даже этого им много.

it's just a rehash of the missing from previous year. it should never have placed them above usova/zhulin who were at their artistic and technical best that year at worlds

[@АпельсинкаКузьмина]

Мне они понравились.

[@zerojack5656]

Please tell me, why they wore same costumes previous year? Any reason?

[@querciaspinosa1887]

Because this program from 1991 was sequel to their dance from 1990.

[@thesovgc]

Poor girl is really a prop being drug around the ice 😭

[@joemachunda]

Christopher Dean i believe was the choreographer brother sister acts are weird

[@russianskatingfan]

@intldawn Very true. The Duchensays FD which won them the FD portion and nearly the World title the year before was stunning. This was a last resort ripoff after their first FD of the season didnt work and had nowhere near the same effect as last year. K&P struggled all Worlds, although got better as they went, and their attempt at their new style didnt gel yet. Usova & Zhulin were easily the best and clearly should have won.

[@officeaddict33]

This program is a novelty. Some of the lifts are interesting but they skate on 2 feet a lot and there are very few close dance holds - that shows their weakness as dancers. Great crowd appeal and some cool tricks but the Russians are the ones with the greater skills.

[@LWOPP]

Paul was a truly great skater, and Isabelle was just never in the same league. Why he didn't team up with someone else I don't know. Siblings skating or especially ice dancing together presents problems all its own. Lifts and holds can look inappropriate or vulgar if you're not careful. Coming up with programs that don't look like romance on the ice is pretty difficult, and so they all look like novelties to one degree or another. IMHO

[@josieshy2376]

LWOPP So certain lifts only look vulgar when carried out by siblings? When you're watching a team and you don't know if they're siblings, lovers or workmates, you first ask what their relation is and then decide whether the lift looks vulgar or decent? ..and Paul and Isabelle had stated several times that they never ever considered skating with anyone else. Seriously, any other ice dancing lady would have paled next to Paul, his expression is unmatched.

[@LWOPP]

Please don't put words in my mouth. I am entitled to my opinion, I said it was my opinion, and I expressed it judiciously.

[@Oscarsunesson]

Whats the name of the last song ????

pls if you find out, could you let me know....i am looking for the name too :)

[@teddyjo26]

Cacharpaya: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sITOiqOwntCWmq8

[@intldawn]

So unjust. With all the changes these two and K & P went through that year, their skating just wasn't as good as we were used to seeing. These two had to resort to doing a sequel with the same costumes, while K & P's rife with their coach resulted in a style that simply didn't work for them, marvelous as they are. And still both teams finished ahead of Usova & Zhulin, who were stunning from start to finish and should have won the competition easily. U & Z were robbed.

If you randomly stop the clips of D&D and K&P and compare the pictures, you can simply understand that K&P were stolen a gold medal.

[@milkybum6339]

Usova & Zhulin should have won this year. They were 1st going into the FD and skated a great FD too but dropped to 3rd somehow. Crazy.

What the HELL is it with these guys and the Andes music?! It seems like EVERY TIME I see one of their ridiculous and paltry performances they are performing to music of the Andes, skating too fast and non-sensibly (their movements LITERALLY make no sense with the music), and flipping around with the same type of costume on. Either that or skating to tribal music. Their routines ALWAYS looked STUPID! Thank GOD (if you believe in imaginary people) they are GONE!

Ronni G these 2 Programs are based on a Ballet-Contemporary Dance of South-American Music. It's called Ghost-Dance. Try to see the Ballet and you understand the Story behind this. It's stunning.
