Oksana Baiul

1998 Champions On Ice-Bethoveen Sonata NO. 9 (Flower Program)

[@patchlindy]

Oksana is bar none, the most brilliant ice skater and dancer I have ever seen. Beautiful program! Thanks!

Наша чарывна Оксаночка!!!! Ми тебе дуже любимо ы цынуэмо твый талант!!!!

[@jantellit123]

Good job by commentator letting us see what is unique about her and what skating for an audience really requires. Intelligent, mature and knowledgeable.

Looking back Oksana's skating offered "high art" to the masses. She was one of the few skaters who offered cultural exchange in every performance. Ice skating at this level is above Disney On Ice. Oksana was expressive and culturally relevant in almost all of her performances able to translate high art to her audiences. Yet she could perform rock, & pop too. Her TALENT & work ethic has no equal.

[@fuscia13]

She is a true artist, more ice dancer than jumper, a true dancer on ice if you will

[@johnroberts389]

That is such an incredible performance there is only two words to describe that performance and those are Oksana Baiul

[@TechFreakNo1]

Well there were 2 skaters that will never be forgotten and always pulled the crowd and once they did it together that's Oksana and Viktor Petrenko

[@jjtruth3507]

Mesmerizing, very beautiful. Oksana Baiul is very underrated. Still haven't seen anyone like her. Hauntingly beautiful performer she expresses ice skating as an art.

[@poorthing]

I don't know how anyone can say she's 'underrated', she is a championship Olympic GOLD Medal athlete.

I used to have this on tape!!! I loved this program, thanks for posting!!!!

[@carinamoses2704]

Captures the somber elegance of the music with such grace and choreographic eloquence.

[@carinamoses2704]

When she looks up and finally unveils herself from the leafy curtain under which she was hiding on a musical peak, it's a very powerful, vulnerable and beautiful moment.

[@carinamoses2704]

She always had such glorious pointe work and here it fits the silky softness of the music so elegantly, expressively and well.

[@almapartridge146]

What a graceful & evocative performance! Even her look is perfect, even to her short gamin hairstyle. She is an artiste on ice!!

[@tabithasabella7129]

Beautiful and strong oksona Awesome job. Hugs.

[@ManuelPabloArnao]

This is such a beautiful program, it just makes me want to cry. I wish she was still involved with skating and would coach elite skaters.

[@MsKendra79]

Her little girl is skating. I follow her on IG and she did say the media and skating community turned on her. She seems very happy with her life now with her husband and young daughter.

[@tinasomers6671]

this is mesmerizing I love it

[@kimheadland9224]

⛸⛸What a beautiful performance she is so amazing Ballet on ice incredible she’s got everything really absolutely stunning beautiful Oksana🩰⛸🌹❤️

[@jantellit123]

This is one uniquely gorgeous program. I wasn't able to fully appreciate this at the time due to all the insults her skating often received not to mention all the negative publicity she always got.

[@user-cy9dx8sc9o]

Восхитительно! Оксана сама женственность, грациозность,нежность! А какие формы-- не то что худосочные угловатые девочки последних лет! На нее хочется смотреть бесконечно! Шедеврально!

[@mishop2278]

Oksana is the best !

[@jantellit123]

Even this number looks beautiful now it didn't back then. Time has allowed me to see how beautifully unique she really was in truth. There was too much negative commentaries about her 24/7. They really were jealous of her so many skaters really hated her just for breathing.

[@user-iy4pu7qx1u]

Богиня!@@

[@irinatimcenko965]

Твоя пышность добавила тебе мощно ть ещё в прыжках , а нам удовольствие...

[@cynthiacorcoran9389]

Me Oksana are only female to win world titles from 1963-1981 with different stage names

[@hellosweetheart3350]

Is there a site to visit where we could see your skating? I see you here alot lol

[@user-my6zs4vo4v]

Театр на льодовый арены!

[@keithstarkey5584]

As I've written elsewhere, she was to become our first (and only for a long time) female Actor on the ice. Had the cards been in her favor, she could have set the world of stage on ice with her as the main protagonist. Alas, such was not to be. But we can see it in her, no matter.

[@jantellit123]

The commentator admits through implication that Oksana's peers disrespected her and mistreated her. Interesting indeed.

[@cynthiacorcoran9389]

The commentators needs to study the subject before speaking. She knows nothing about me. Oksana

[@hellosweetheart3350]

Is this really Oksana? If so, your my favorite and I could watch you skate till the day I died and feel stunned the whole time. Live a great life, you deserve it❤️⛸️
