Marina Anissina-Gwendal Peizerat - Romeo and Juliet -Prokofiev -1998 OLYMPICS FD

ΚΑΛΛΙΤΕΧΝΙΚΟ ΠΑΤΙΝΑΖ. Marina Viatcheslavovna Anissina (Russian: Марина Вячеславовна Анисина, born August 30, 1975 in Moscow, Russian SSR) is a French-Russian ice dancer. With partner Gwendal Peizerat, she is the 2002 Olympic champion. On February 23, 2008, Anissina married Russian actor Nikita Dzhigurda in Moscow after the two met when they were partnered on a celebrity ice dancing television show. On January 7, 2009 the couple welcomed a son, Mik-Angel Krist (in Russian: Мик-Анжель Крист). In May 2009, Dzhigurda confirmed that they are expecting a second child.
Gwendal Peizerat (born April 21, 1972 in Bron, France) is a French ice dancer. With Marina Anissina, he is the 2002 Olympic champion and 1998 Olympic bronze medalist. The association of the two different cultures with different styles of skating was positive. The pair placed 3rd at 1998 Olympic Games and, in 2000, they won gold medals at the European and World Championships.
In 2002, Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat became the first French Olympic Champions in ice dancing. They also won the gold medal at the European Championships that year.
After winning the Olympic gold medal they finished their amateur skating career, turned pro and appear in shows now.

I miss this kind of ice dancing! Their dance wasn't just movement, it was poetry, emotion, tragedy. They rival with ballet dancers! Impressive!

[@joyceh2721]

2022, the thrill has gone. skating's not what it used to be!! too mechanical. where's the passion??

[@brucewinther6926]

This couple is one of the best I have ever seen---The entire package wrapped up in beauty all around

[@catherinelapotre1941]

Mon Dieu qu'ils sont beaux, qu'ils sont merveilleux et qu'ils patinent avec élégance. C'est prodigieux et le thème, la musique et les costumes ont été créés pour eux. C'est de la haute voltige dans l'histoire du patinage artistique.

[@weirmermaid33]

What no one comments on is HER strength to hold him up. Rarely do you see the female hold the male

[@natg.2614]

+weirmermaid33 I was extremely impressed! I couldn't hold anyone up, let alone skate while holding them.

[@MsRumex]

@@natg.2614 Marina mentioned in some interview, that because of high speed and the way those holds are done - it's not so much strengths but more equilibrium

[@katherinemalster5596]

[@emmablassel843]

This couple is the best classiest most elegant I’ve ever known. Whenever there is an ice skate show on the TV I think of these two ✨.

[@XXXXcloudangellXXXX]

to anyone still watching this, this is my first time seeing a romantic skating dance I'm literally smiling like an idiot over how amazing this is. more than their dance, it is their facial expression that had me on the edge of my seat. great performance!!

[@aquamarine0023]

Wow! What an incredible artistic performance and beautiful choice of music and costumes - plus with the added surprises of her holding HIM up twice!

[@patato_potato6236]

Jesus Christ, that was beautiful. They were absolutely brilliant, I loved how they followed through with story of Juliet and Romeo

[@lauramartha3]

People always commented about Marina holding Gwendal up; but what fewer people commented about were Gwendal's incredible skating skills: his fantastic edges and deep knees gave them the power to create such great speed almost effortlessly, plus he was a superb partner to Marina (even though she got most of the 'attention' as the "diva", she could not achieved such outstanding programs without Gwendal -- some of his jumps and landing on knees -- choreographed by Christopher Dean, in later programs, were just brilliant!); plus he had the most beautiful lines. I think he was the stronger skater of the pair, but not many people realize that.

[@MsRumex]

This is one of the very rare pairs were it's very difficult t say who actually is the strongest skater. And this equality they showed in theirs programs. They were very well matched .

[@aramis5301]

I've always thought he was just as good as she was. Also look at his hands and how he carefully places them on her so that he can guide everything they do. It looks completely effortless but he does it perfectly. And IMO they were a great example of the combination of the Russian and French schools of skating: she had passion and fire, and he had the quiet elegance required to balance that.

[@Justforfun-ke7bg]

@@aramis5301 yes, I totally agree he was a great partner. As german commentators ones said "Gwendal has every second of the performance under control"

[@catherineblair5648]

The astounding strengh of Anissina holding up Gwendal, at 2:01 and 3:32, along with their beautiful balletic skating skills, really caught my eyes here! I'd love to see a ballerina do THAT with her partner! Great passion, the fast furious speed, and the unique choreography by Peizerat, makes this a very unusual winner, to me.

[@TheArcNgeL]

La subtile grâce et la délicate beauté de chaque mouvement masquent le travail immense qu'il y a derrière cette perfection, ils nous manquent vraiment.

[@wonderingheights]

Found it!!! I must have been fourteen when I saw this dance on tv years ago, and I NEVER forgot it. It, along with a few Kwan moments, have been the MOST memorable pieces I have ever seen. Brilliant, simple, athletic, amazing stage presence. It's all there. Thank you for posting it.

[@stellaborrelli7931]

[@yorokobiyos2729]

My favourite dance of them, so much passion, soul & genuine artistry in iy. I remember being so disappointed that they only finished 3rd ... I was only 5 years old in 1998 but they managed to make such an impression on me.

Oh my goodness! So good! So difficult!

[@beveie123]

I'm sorry, but how on Earth did they not win the 1998 olympics and only get a bronze?! I mean, that's still amazing, but this was flawless and absolutely stunning, engaging, and so unique compared to the other performances. D:

[@fabpan665]

Thomas Headley

[@yorokobiyos2729]

Jenny Gao Well I agree but there were other portions of competition too before.

[@rowbom]

At that time, the top place went to the team who had earned the highest ranking over the past 2-3 years. Most fans realized that the gold was not simply based on the performance alone, but on a teams reputation.

[@gk891]

They were still sort of in development in 1998. Their compulsories were good but not exceptional (their compulsories had improved a ton by the time 2000 came around), they had far and away the best OD that year but they made multiple errors during their Jive at this competition, and their free dance looked a little tight and nervous. I still had them at least second here at this competition. They skated their free dance so much better at Worlds a few weeks later where IMO they should've clearly won. But part of their problem was that they finished (unfairly) behind Bourne & Kraatz at the 1996 Worlds. In doing so, they were 'ranked' behind them for the next couple of seasons. In 1997, the judges seemed to have given them the thumbs down on their material as they finished 5th at Worlds that year, behind Moniotte & Lavanchy and they barely held off Punsalan & Swallow. So in late 1997-early 1998, they were essentially playing catch up. But their material in 1998 was amazing and IMO, they had clearly surpassed not only Bourne & Kraatz (a vastly overrated team) but also Krylova & Ovsiannikov. K&O were good skaters but their programs often lacked the content of either A&P or G&P.

[@2008macius]

They got gold medal at next olympics

[@hyerkill]

oh my god, I rememember watching this with my mum and i was 5 years old. This one amazed me a lot, this passion overwhelmed me back then and it made the same happened a while ago. I still think this is one is one of the most beautiful things i've seen.

[@liloulaszlo6600]

[@vietgrlterifa1]

@@daryana7765 да, такую "химию" на льду не часто встретишь - ведь там надо что бы столько всего сошлось в партнерах, что очень редко когда случается. А тут и сама техника владения коньком у обоих хороша, и харизма и актерски оба замечательны (никто не переигрывает).

[@fivantvcs9055]

The French touch: to skate and play comedy in a one-piece program with roles and one theme. My conception of skating.

It's so easy to love this team. the musicality, the expression, the passion......

[@fikta10]

They were the best dancers of all time for me. I noticed them at the olympics by exactly this dance and the next four years were just perfect. Their every dance was a story with a beautiful music and representation. I don´t like ice dance nowadays at all, dancers are tied up by so many rules and all the dances seem same to me and extremely boring.

[@wonderingheights]

fikta10 this wad the first time I noticed them as well. absolutely stunning

[@pascalepinault2131]

I agree with you and even I liked the french actualy couple world champion of 2018 ,I still prefer Pereizerat/Anissina.At this time they were the Russian as concurrency and the hierarchy was established.It was harder to get a place with the system of juges.They were more original and play realy well like theater' actors. So great.

POETRY IN MOTION 💜💜💜

[@atr46]

Скорость какая-то запредельная, я не успевала даже рассмотреть элементы, на такой скорости это делалось. Посмотрела, потому что писали, что Анисина таскала на себе Пейзера. Только одна такая поддержка очень сложная была. Отличные фигуристы, одна из немногих танцевальных пар, где смотришь на партнёршу. Пейзера тоже очень хорош.

[@Justforfun-ke7bg]

как по мне. то все их поддержки где она якобы "таскала" Пейзера были очень крутыми и реально продуманными, так как они на балансе были построены а не на чистой физической силе. Марина как то в интервью говорила, что на самом деле Гвендалю намного сложнее было удерживать позицию чем ей его держать. Ну и не каждый партнер имел такую гибкость и растяжку, какая была у Гвендаля (так что даже попробуй другие пары делать что то подобное не факт что получилось бы так эффектно).

[@comtechcomtech6657]

Нелепо смотрится, когда хрупкая Джульетта, как заправский штангист идет на рекорд в поднятии тяжести.

[@Justforfun-ke7bg]

@@comtechcomtech6657 странное восприятие. Во первых Джульетта не была такой хрупкой а все таки довольно решительной. А во вторых, мне понравилось как американский коментатор сказал, что эти поддержки показывают силу любви и безумства на которое способны только 15ти летние сильно влюбленные девушки. Как по мне - то очень подходит к Джульетте и Ромео, не находите?

This performance - a balletic pas de deux on ice - is one for the ages.
