Shae lynn and Victor were so innovative. This is such a unique dance. They did an amazing job with all the fast footwork. Love their style.

[@211jump]

This program was incredibly easy for these times. Lots of side by side skating, just overall weak content.

It's a shame they were never truly appreciated and honored internationally as much as they were in their own country.

[@joannagodfrey5111]

on wow! They totally nailed the spirit of Riverdance

[@Whatthehallyukp0pl0v3]

You won't see performances like this anymore... shame. These two will always be my favorite ice dancers.

[@Curiousever]

They were such s joy to watch..

Mine too

Brilliant!! Speed, ice coverage, footwork.. score was shameful.

[@letitiakearney2423]

@@211jump Rubbish the footwork they attempted on ice wasn’t easy by any means. I’m an ex Irish Dancer and couldn’t believe that they tried to give a great performance on ice of Riverdance. You are limited in what you can do with skates and they did fantastic doing basic steps.

[@ellendoucette7278]

An award winning performance, forever etched in my mind!

[@letitiakearney2423]

Best Riverdance ever and her rocks were so good-they did a fantastic job imitating the steps. I’m an ex Irish Dancer.

I have seen two other, more modern, skating routine to this piece, and this one stays truest to the flavor and feel of that original Riverdance performance.

[@jeannahicks7251]

No matter how many times I see this, it never fails to amaze me. They'll always be my favorites.

[@scoutz0rs]

Rating this from the point of view of an Irish dancer, this is the best Riverdance/Irish music themed program lol But they also hired Colin Dunne to help choreograph, so that's probably why. I mean, SHE DID ROCKS (well, imitation rocks). No one outside of Irish dance even knows wtf a rock is!!!

[@letitiakearney2423]

I’m an ex dancer too and she did a great job with ice skates attempting the rocks.

[@annaliesew]

I was thinking the same thing (I'm an Irish dancer too)

[@lydwinaofschiedam2685]

Would have made a great exhibition program. People love the music, the costumes, the hydroblading - and their apparent joy in the performance.

[@biff5856]

Such a joyful duo. Love these two, their energy, personalities, innovation, technique, and choice of music.

I hope they read my comments. You guys were great still are forget all negative comments that may have been written. I appreciate your talent ❤️😊😊❤️. Lost interest after you both retired I watch everything you guys ever skated too. Miss you both will always be my favorite ice dancers. IAM not Canadian love your talent and appreciate all your hard work.

[@icestan_dancefan7024]

@Jeff M, They were hardly robbed at all? They deserved 8th place at best. This whole entire program was skated side by side, which is easy. You can't just take a riverdance program and slap it on the ice it has be reconstructed to include the require difficult elements. Their OD seriously lacked content and it rivals some of the program content of teams in the 11th to 18th region. You also have to look at their Compulsory Dances which were quite weak. They made about 10 mistakes in the Golden Waltz, and about 6 in the Argentine Tango. They should have been 9th place in the end. Even the ISU president at the time said something about their being mistake in Bourne and Kraatz program.

[@doshra69]

Какие они прекрасные

[@bpdynasty9265]

Bourne & Kraatz always pushed the envelope in terms of their routines and music selection relative to their European counterparts (who kept it conservative and classical) and at a time when figure skating judging was beyond subjective and open to the interpretation and feelings of the judges, they always got punished in standings! These were the yesteryears in figure skating and THANK GOD the judging system has changed and actually challenges ice dancers to create unique and different programs.

[@MsRumex]

LOL) "conservative and classical" in the 1990s ISU wanted to see ballroom dancing routines, and literally, all teams did have ballroom dances. Grishuk and Platov did have rock-and-roll, tap dance, Latin dance etc. Krylova and Ovsjanikov had Russian folk music, and flamenco, before that Krulova and Fedorov did have rock and roll, and Latin style dance; Anisina and Peizerat had tango, Latin medley, and flamenco, the Italian team had some Sicilian dance, Moniot and Lavanchy did have "fred and ginger", gypsy style dance etc. Bourne & Kraatz did use exactly the same kind of music and created exactly the same type of programs. With one exception - they did not skate close together in closed dance holds (and this is what was required). And I totally disagree that now "ice dancers create unique and different programs", as most of the programs nowadays are in fact are very very similar. They are not only similar to each other, they are also similar from one year to the next year - as they all are doing very similar lifts (to satisfy difficulties levels) they all are doing similar twizzles, they all are doing very similar-looking one-footed step sequences etc. And almost no one DANCES now. They just are doing acrobatic things on the ice. It's very boring. (IMHO)

[@user-ee9co6pd2d]

[@user-hw3ei5ev4z]

Absolute perfection!!!!

[@dianeswan5643]

The world lost these two amazing dancers because of unfair judging, there Riverdance has never been repeated in figure skating anywhere near their caliber, I stopped watching figure skating when they left ,they were in a league of their own.

[@icestan_dancefan7024]

They were never harshly judged… You just don’t know ice dance. They made several mistakes in the Compulsory Dance, and had way too easy Orinigal Dance, and this dance was almost entirely skated side by side with open handholds and far away skating.

[@carolwatson4132]

They should have won 💕

[@gk891]

Hardly. They made multiple errors in both the Golden Waltz and Argentine Tango compulsory dances (it seems like out of all the top couples, they were the only ones who could not skate their counters or their twizzles properly). They had the simplest OD out of all the top 10 couples (something that American commentator Judy Blumberg tore them apart for in the OD at Worlds a few weeks later). And this free dance was skated almost entirely side by side. The choreography was way too open for them to even be considered for a medal.

[@MsRumex]

@@gk891 even though they criticized judging, it looks like they totally expected to get an Olympic bronze medal just because they were third a few previous years in the Worlds.

[@gk891]

@@MsRumex They probably thought they deserved even higher than that. I think Dubova enabled their entitled attitudes. I think she had become bitter and jaded over the years watching skaters leave her and become World and Olympic champions with different coaches (e.g. Klimova, Ponomarenko, Grishuk, Platov). She also lost the uber-talented Navka in 1995 due to her coaching politics (when she found out about the affair between her and Zhulin, she sent Navka away). Maybe she convinced herself that B&K were the 'ones' even though they were nowhere near as good as they thought they were.

[@MsRumex]

@@gk891 and Bourne and Kraatz also became World champions AFTER they left Dubova, like all other prior to them.....

[@gk891]

@@MsRumex Yup. Dubova was at one point an amazing technical coach. But she didn't seem to be the best at campaigning for her teams like Tarasova and Linichuk were. But after the fall of communism, her work started to become disappointing and by 2002, her last memorable role was as a consultant of some sort for Anissina & Peizerat and she also led Chait & Sakhnovsky to a super-controversial bronze medal at the 2002 Worlds. She faded from sight after that.

[@nana30bz]

It was an interesting season for them with really bad CD-s and an extremely weak OD. But this dance was lovely,they totally captured the mood of the Irish dance. I think they would have deserved a bronze, whilst Anissina/Peizerat 2nd and Grishuk/Platov 1st. Silver was too good for Krylova and Ovsyannikov.

[@nipaipo36100]

5.5 and 5.7

[@icestan_dancefan7024]

All these clueless people in the comments don’t know what they are talking about. Bourne/Kraatz DID NOT DESERVE A MEDAL AT ALL. This program was weak and just lacked a lot of elements that made an ice dance program an ice dance program. It would be a nice exhibition number but not at all a good ice dance program. Too much side by side skating and way too open of handholds. Their Compulsory Dance and Original Dance were disastrous and just a flat out hot mess. So not they were not great here.

[@chantalseguin1091]

Does anyone remember or care who won gold?? I dont. I just know they should have.

[@sgigigar1609]

Nooo unison, messy and kinda slow...

[@IngridAlcazarOficial]

Ok, B/K had no unison in some parts and also, I just realized how slow it was skated. Riverdance is faster and it is difficult to do on ice but they could make it work at Worlds a month after. This is a charming program definitely and it is a public favorite because they sold it really well and were charismatic about, but I'm sure it wasn't a medal contender performance.

[@gk891]

I can't see how they could've challenged for a medal because this program was skated entirely hand to hand or side by side. Overall however, I do think this program was a very good idea. The problem was that the steps need to be reconstructed so that it's an ice dance program and not just a dance program (taken verbatim) on top of an ice surface. Ice dancers need to skate as closely together as possible to demonstrate how well integrated they are with one another.

[@lynnhexler-haan3357]

Jason Brown did it better ! I believe it was in the US nationals.

[@tyronebranch2946]

He's the King of Riverdance on ice without a doubt. 😁🤘🏽

[@paulyarek]

Back then judges were screwing our kids

[@icestan_dancefan7024]

They were not screwed. This placement was more than generous. This program was skated with not enough content. This whole entire program was skated side by side, which is easy. You can't just take a Riverdance program and slap it on the ice it has to be reconstructed to include the required complex elements. Where were the complex turns? The difficult hold and hold changes?

[@paulyarek]

@@icestan_dancefan7024 Are you russian?

[@icestan_dancefan7024]

@@paulyarekI am not Russian. I am from America, and I’m someone who has extensive ice dance knowledge :) Not everything is a conspiracy against North America, maybe they weren’t good enough so that’s why they didn’t get the marks. in fact B/K shouldn’t have been top 5. I do believe though American Punsulan/Swallow deserved the bronze medal, and A/P the silver and G/P the gold. Just because your TV tells you one thing doesn’t mean it’s true. any other questions?

[@julieannedous2799]

They were robbed, sorry.

[@intldawn]

@@211jump I agree with you. The free dance aside, they were really fortunate to can be in the medal conversation by this phase. Compulsories never were their strength and they weren’t great in those phases here, and their original dance was incredibly weak. There was no technical content to speak of in that performance, especially if you stack it up against both Russian teams and the French, and they should have dropped out of the top 4 entirely after the original. The Americans had much better, more difficult , more interesting original and free dances and they were robbed being so far down. I wasn’t old enough to scrutinize ice dance when this happened but now I see how absurd this entire controversy was about them not being in the medals. And the comparative lack of speed is absolutely killing me.

[@sapphire22011]

Never liked this programme. I just thought the riverdance moves never translated properly on ice.

[@thv305]

There were no steps or turns more difficult than a single twizzle or a Choctaw... ridiculously lacking in content.
