Oksana Baiul - The Feeling Begins (1996)

[@AnnaCN78456]

One of the most iconic performances ever. The golden age of figure skating.

[@fuscia13]

This was the golden age of figure skating. So much depth of talent and artistry. I really enjoyed it

[@dinab7852]

AGREE!

[@WindDancer435]

I remember seeing her do this and I am just as enthralled today as I was then. She is just incredibly talented. This performance was just pure magic and unbelievably beautiful.

[@dinab7852]

Same.

[@lma6808]

The choreography is just so impeccable. So much artistry 👌

[@dianal8387]

Impressed by the choice of music! Peter Gabriel, from Last Temptation of Christ.

Oksana always excels in her artistic grâce. It's very beautiful. My prefence will always remain for Oksana.

[@matthewschwartz9151]

No quad jumps like the current crop of Russian teenagers, but her dance and artistry are just incredible.

[@ImmaculateRecovery]

Out of this world

オクサナさんのこのプログラムのおかげでで私もヘッドドレスと顔のヴェールを付けて滑ったことがあります✨✨✨私の場合はブルー💡スカートで音楽も違いましたが💡オクサナさんがいなかったらターバンヴェールをつけて滑るという経験がなかったので、非常に大好きなプログラムです✨✨✨

Johnny Weir saw this and decided to become a figure skater

[@TosyaChan]

Before cultural appropriation was a thing.

[@Driveright698]

Exactly. Nowadays she would've gotten shit for this. People are so sensitive now. Smh.

[@rromero7849]

No kidding and it just keeps getting worse,and worse,and worse!

[@amyliasabin-reed968]

Phenomenal

[@mariadelioncourt]

I just discovered this and I am MESMERIZED 💜🌻

[@galelascala105]

She dances on the ice. Great musicality.

[@nataliasofia7236]

I love this performance.. She looks more relax than in 1994

[@lisahaydu7707]

Her artistry is beyond measure

[@centerfold8]

What an artist and beauty I love how Arabian dancing makes me want to be secy

[@mgrosa]

Pure Magic! This is perfect. She is a Beauty, her Body, her Face... Incredible lovely and erotiv and charismatic. This Choreo to this Music is absolutely great, how slow and intense she built it up. Her moves blown me away…..who dances better on ice then her? Johnny Weir has right to be inspirated by her and to love her, he is sensual like her.

before oksana i did not appreciete ice skating

[@보배-x8o]

how wonderful is she~!!

[@аннаМочульская]

Красиво.

[@maychen4801]

There are only 3 Russian'ish female skaters have this level of artistry I could think of, Oksana, Gordeeva and Maria Sotskova. Surprisingly, there aren't more given the long history of ballet in that country.

[@marthaanderson2967]

I would add Evgenia too.

[@Caramoussel]

Oksana isn’t Russian, she’s Ukranian : )

[@userresuuserresuuserresu]

she isn't russian wtf

[@mishop2278]

Bravo! She is the best!Forever!

[@bntpalad]

Egyption cultur

[@maytc2011]

Even though this program is clearly inspired by Kondrashova, Oksana still puts her own unique artistry and talent into it. It's a different program.
