Shizuka Arakawa's Turandot FS (Turin 2006)

[@sasstsuma1467]

Shizuka Arakawa's Turandot free skate program in Turin 2006!

[@chelsea65030]

Please also SHOMA UNO's free skate from 2018!

[@yingjianwang3045]

This is my favorite pair skating of all time.

[@jamesowen5702]

Memorable in everyway, flawlessly choreographed, nailed every segment, Pang's obvious joy throughout - she really sells this performance, even Tong tired and gasping for air in the final lift matches the emotion of the music. WIll be interesting to see how Sui and Han get on with Bridge Over Troubled Water, another musical choice wearing its heart of its sleeve. Over the last 10 years they're the only pair that really have the same showtime feel.

[@BrossenSleank]

These two deserves the gold medal, it was just flawless.

[@jamesowen5702]

I always felt it rather appropriate they finished second skating The Impossible Dream, a sort of heroic romantic failure, if an Olympic silver can ever be called such. Still, their greatness persists.

[@ChristineTheHippie]

They would have won the gold if they were a bit closer to Shen/Zhao after the short. They won the free skate

[@taranehrasti8688]

Still my favourite pairs free program of all time. Thank you for uploading this video 💖

[@lucsciousluca9702]

This came second.... what came first.... genuine goosebumps

[@SANDUSK471]

Technically, this is the highest-scored free skates of the night, by 1.90 point But the gold medallist performed better short program the previous day, the gold medalist got around 5 points margin ahead of this pair

[@lucsciousluca9702]

Ichsan Nurzaman, thx for the explanation, wow so the pressure was really on during this performance to make up for the first performance, what an incredible event, thx man

They may not be as perfect as Gordeeva/Grinkov They may not be as elegant as Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze They may not be as powerful as Shen/Zhao They may not be as magical as Sui/Han They are just like everyone of us - ordinary, hardworking, and relatable people But even ordinary people deserve to have highlights once in a lifetime. They dedicated to that impossible dream and got it done. They warmed my heart. Thank you, Pang/Tong.

They were perfect that night. Watching their program, I am still having goosebumps in 2023. Love this program!

[@changliu8028]

best pair skating ever!! so impressive and touching

[@juanvargas7208]

By far the best free skate in years, not in Salt Lake City, not in Torino and it was here, I remember watching the live broadcast and I jumped out of my seat when I watched this, it is very difficult to understand that they came 2nd having Shen and Zhao a faulty free program, but this was Vancouver, the year where the judges overscored the favourites and gave a hard time to the real derservers to win. But this footage speaks by itself, and many believe Pang and Tong were the real winners.

[@sgsmozart]

When skaters finish a flawless, thrilling program like this one, they should hold the final pose for 8 to 10 seconds. It would only magnify the experince. Dropping down to kiss the ice or " fist pumping" immediately stops the magic spell that has been created....

[@xiaojinhuang4286]

Flawless and impressive from the 4th to second!!!

[@eiaoi]

thouse throws matching the music and last triumphual lift. Just wow. Mind-Blowing program.

NOT an “Impoosible dream” for Pang Qing and Tong Jian! For years, they were the spare and the backup, but they truly shone in 2010! What a way to win the free skate and earn the silver medals!!
