Oksana Baiul - Sadeness (1995)

@1995 Rock n' Roll Skating Championships
Music by Enigma

[@theonemodifier]

Nobody can ever touch her, she is so graceful, floating, flying like a bird. Nothing mechanical about her like the others. And her physique is perfect

[@aquajosh]

Her musicality and artistry will never be matched. Here we are almost 23 years later still talking about this piece. Still one of my favorite skates ever.

[@sunnisooge]

the most beautiful elegant female skater of all time

[@julesberggren2547]

Grande Dame Oksana Baiul, Your soulfulness,your depth, your gift, expresses so much ! It “speaks” for the many who recognize the pain of loss but don’t have talent to make magic with it as you do ! May providence provide you with everything you so richly deserve!

[@dreaarc1]

When she did that breathing part my heart stopped a little. She becomes the music and is in a league of her own when it comes to figure skating. Oksana Queen of ice forever

[@SheenaJackson39]

Love Light Agreed 💯

[@claudiamelisa7]

Mine too!

[@janellekirkland3023]

THIS IS THE BEST SKATING PERFORMANCE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹Thank u out there who liked my comment 💋

[@girloutthere]

She was so incredibly special. She felt every note of the music when she skated and pulled you in.

[@PetalWings76]

Nobody and I said Nobody skates like Oksana.

[@emo516]

Amen. I totally agree.

[@theinfinitelyrich]

I don't watch sports and this, this performance I remembered. Incredible choreography and artistry. If not the best, definitely one of the best ice skating performances of all time.

[@cupcakefairy87]

Oksana Baiul is the best female figure skater for me, the way she combines technique with theatrical artistry is just out of this world.

[@patriciasalas4210]

The most gracefull woman on ice ,ever!!

[@stan2026]

Fantastic! I'm not interested in skate at all. But this I'm watching now for the xth time. This girl is magic! She seems not dancing to the music but being the music. Today was a good day, I met Oksana!

[@apseudonym]

this is my favourite performance by her. she is entirely in the zone here.

[@diannezigmond8627]

I come back here every now and then to remember what amazing really is. I saw her skate in person and the experience never left me.

[@almapartridge146]

Not sure how many dozens of times I've watched this & Oksana seems more incredible every time. Her costume is perfect for the music & the way her fluid, elegant movements are truly part of her interpretation of the melody is absolutely mesmerizing. This has always been one of Oksana's most unforgettable performances & is exquisite from start to finish.

[@pianoart7460]

Exactly. 23 years later. Nothing like this phenomenon. It’s like she holds the whole world in her hands. Long lines, connected to the outer world, it’s mystical power

[@Bizija123]

Absolute sublime choice of music to go along with the perfect performance!!

[@pianoart7460]

Tears come out instantly each time you witness something genius like this

[@SL-qu6zh]

No other skater had such enchanting moves on the ice like Oksana did, truly amazing.

[@jumaris28]

She was something else to watch !! Incomparable , she played with the music on her playground .. the ice !! None else like her !!!

[@julianeh5584]

that was magnificent!!! I guess she was just 17 at that time... wow!!!

[@иринапопова-е8э1х]

Как же это красиво талантлива, сейчас не то фигурное катание

[@johnroberts389]

There is still no one to compare her to she is the best

[@stephaniels5421]

The others are performers. Oksana is an entertainer.

[@fulvioarborio9578]

And an artist

[@hamilcross]

oh wow, i did a dance routine to this number about a decade and some years ago… i don’t think i looked quite as elegant as queen oksana but the memories this gave me were fantastic. some skaters since have come close to her musicality (yuna kim comes to mind) but oksana is forever my favorite as a former ballerina myself. :) 3:20 is arguably the best part

[@metaldigger]

Absolutely that part at 03:20 I think wow. She took over the song. Like someone said the song became her

[@Ariel-pi6lw]

Beautiful skater luv her taste in music

[@SulinLarenas]

She is the best ever

[@Poeme340]

I watched this without sound. She IS music. I’m frozen with awe at her artistry. Incomparable.

[@luv3daysgrace1]

Love Enigma & love this program! She is an awesome skater!!!

[@cassandrahowell8055]

This skate is the best I have seen....ever!

[@аннаМочульская]

Очень красиво,прекрасно.

[@Dana.D.]

Как же Оксана ,Красиво Танцует .Пластичность и Хореаграфия на Высоте . Любуюсь Прямо .

[@devismelchiori4570]

La migliore pattinatrice che io abbia mai visto. Elegante, raffinata, bellissima.

[@baiansanchez4017]

No ones skate like her..

[@denisewalsh6586]

Kamila Valieva ?

[@janellekirkland3023]

Just totally ELEGANT 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@ВегаНедзелюк]

Оксаночка, смотрю выступление в 2022 году. Ты, супер!!!Классика, вечна!!! Браво!!!

[@AnnaViola3]

Оксана влюблена в фигурное катание, она так трепетно относится к катанию и даже ко льду по которому катается, это явно её стихия, класс!

[@Dana.D.]

Как Она катается Красиво . Просто Великолепно .

[@johnroberts389]

Freaking incredible

[@sarahmccollum3694]

Oh, Oksana! They would always say that and I had to as well. She gave me chills for the entire performance. Every flawless landing made me say, Nice, chicky! Great job!

[@gongaqueen4205]

I use to love watching her skate when I was younger 😍😍

[@ipsarai8360]

I can't stop watching this...help!!

[@PetalWings76]

PURE MAGIC

[@kovalenkoolya787]

Лучшая🔥

[@MaryManion]

I remember this. She's absolutely stunning. Thank you for the good memory.:)

[@Dtzeo503]

Wow a skate performance with Enigma. Amazing

[@isabellahrem5727]

Beautiful , very elegant ! 👏👏👏💥👍💥

[@larainevanetten5311]

Amazing! That music and that skating.

[@ВинераМухамедзянова]

Моё восхищение!❤ Я пересматриваю пргораммы только двух фигуристок, Оксаны и Алины. Загитовой. Остальные мне не интересны. ❤❤❤

[@irabirukova4235]

А мне вот Алина не интересна. В Оксане видна неординарность, которая дана ей от природы. В Алине всё, как по учебнику, как таковой харизмы нет

[@ВинераМухамедзянова]

@@irabirukova4235 я имела ввиду программы Алины . Загитоврй. Может быть без этих великолепных постановок , она тоже мне была бы не интересна. Но я люблю смотреть ее выступления на Олимпиаде , как хорошо подобрана музыка и тд. Все это интересно мне смотреть. Вот этим мне нравятся и Оксана и Алина. А просто смотреть фигурное катание, какие бы не были фигуристки, я сейчас не часто смотрю. Раньше да. Видимо возраст. Но вот этих фигуристок нет, да посмотрю . Но именно программы на соревнованиях.

[@PetalWings76]

Oksana will Always be my Favorite.

[@Elxtipizcom]

such a beauty

[@zarina86zena]

Perfect

[@piznoctsauo8141]

Such badass moves.

[@annmhmoore0771]

she skated to this at the 94 Olympics i dont why i can't find it anywhere she had pink on. After her performance in the Olympics i knew she was going to win

[@sahpire75]

Ann MH Moore she didn't skate to this at Olympics. Its show tunes

[@krissy7342]

Just search: “1994 Lillehammer Olympics figure skating Oksana Baiul” (long program) or (short program).

[@chooseyourpoison5105]

She didn't skate to this at the Olympics. She skated to a medley of broadway tunes including The Rain in Spain from My Fair Lady and My Favourite Things from The Sound of Music.

[@CARLPHILLY]

She is the best, that has ever been.

[@denisewalsh6586]

Kamila Valieva?

Super !!!

Amazing !

No one is like her. Elite skaters now are so cookie cutter. Her best programs had such beauty.

[@robadams5799]

She's either Catholic or superticious. Or both.

[@koknesis5226]

..then I am the only one who never ever liked her skating

[@blingblingjjong3898]

i don't hate it. but if i were to compare skaters nowadays with Oksana, I think instead of doing difficult routines, she dance on ice a lot. so kinda not impressed..

[@snafuet]

Bling Bling Jjong there are different diciplines of FS. I guess this one isn't that you usually see at Olympics - with particular spins, step sequences and many-many jumps.

[@Mariofan2479]

Not everything is about spins. Different FS programs have different techniques set in. Some put emphasis on the spins, some on the dancing.

[@ctruth6185]

Yes, you have bad taste and no eye for beauty. Yes you have a bad opinion. But you're entitled to it.

[@ctruth6185]

@@blingblingjjong3898 Skaters now days attempt a lot of complex jumps & spins etc.. But their exhibition & show skating lacks meaning or interest. Today's skater;s exhibitions don't look that entertaining either. I went to watch. The pair skaters are lovely though. There I fixed it for you.

[@Lisa6964]
