Jamie Sale and David Pelletier's 2002 Winter Olympics short program. Saturday, February 9, 2002. Pairs figure skating.

[@doganmetin6474]

For some reason I never liked this couple. they are not aesthetic at all.

[@ЛЛГЛЛГ-ъ1т]

Костюмы ужасные: она как будто трусы через голову надела! Вырвали, выскандалили медаль, позор! Они не заслужили это золото и все это знают!

[@rabigazhumabek2436]

Точно не чемпионское катание! Она двигается как робот! Эмоций- нет! Любви-нет! Костюм- ужасный!

[@tatianateodorovich1942]

Это точно!

[@jimmyseraphin7314]

And the unfair comments of north american commentators are boring as usual

[@ЕленаПетрова-ъ5ф]

Какой неудачный декоративный элемент на платье фигуристки. Такое ощущение, что в стрингах катается((

[@ulyana656]

Да, я тоже заметила,ужастно выглядит.

[@박현희-o8j]

어떻게 캐나다초가 러시아조를 이길수있나요 이해할수없습니다 스포츠에서도 억지가 통할수있군요 기술적 예술적으로 절대로 러시아조를 이길수없는 경기였습니다

[@dantorren1562]

I'm probably the only one who thinks that the fall was actually fitting??

[@katemarieeee]

no, it fits to me too lol

[@Irinasky]

Это не чемпионское катание, даже не серебро.

[@ЮлияТомилова-ж8б]

Выпросили медали....запугали судей...с таким падением это только 4е место, и ничего смешного

[@tatianateodorovich1942]

За падение получили золотые медали, позор!

[@ОксанаБондарь-х2д]

тем более за падение на ровном месте.

[@sgeetha7350]

The difference in commentary from Scott between this program and Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze's... hmm..

[@grantnoroyan9275]

both teams were good i didnt see anything that was out of line

[@sgeetha7350]

@@grantnoroyan9275 Not 'out of line' but certainly cynical .. like saying 'this program beautifully designed to cater to the judges' - It's undermining how wonderful B&S's program was and how well they had performed. Scott does this often, like when he's commentating skaters he prefers vs their competition - Evan over Johnny, Yuna over Mao etc... Sometimes not saying much about an amazing performance and gushing over another that is not as good says a lot about the commentator. The worst for me was their commentary of Mirai's long program at the 2014 US nationals.

[@jimmyseraphin7314]

The triple lop was direct. The russians made connected steps before. As for the side by side triple toe lop. Technicly this was clearly inferior to the russians and this is even more true for artistry...they were a charming couple whereas the russians were just the most class couple. And there was a fall. 5.6 and 5.5. But 5.9 and 6.0 for’the russians

[@jean-lucpradels5554]

It should have affected the mark!!!!!!

[@МаринаГорчакова-з6ш]

Оттяпать ,то что тебе не пренадлежит. Вот мастерство доведенное до совершенства, это не спортивно, уже не горю о чести и ДОСТОИНСТВЕ. КАК ОНИ ЖИВУТ С ТАКИМ ПОЗОРОМ СТОЛЬКО ЛЕТ? Спорт это чесный СПОР, горе побежденному.

[@ОльгаСкачкова-ж2ь]

Самая не приятная пара (( особенно партнерша 🥹 позор фигурному катанию

[@jenyasteingold3589]

Slow. And cheesy. No interesting foot work. David is good with lifts.

[@Petr_Samoilenko]

Fake champions.

[@cortneyphillips7951]

Russian's didn't skate clean. They did. Key difference.

[@aygulkhamitova8381]

According to the results, in the sum of the short and free program, the Canadians lost a lot. And yes, they dance worse than Russians, just accept it.

[@vasilisakojina447]

Прыгающие табуретки!🥴👎

[@unilok33]

про золотые медали забудут, про позор - никогда

[@FfFf-qi8ze]

Они неопохорилис. Нет

[@FfFf-qi8ze]

Два золота редко зато достойно дружба радость чем ненсвисть

[@xuarxu]

...and the stupidest fall of the competition!

[@tomgallowitz]

but yet it fit in with the character of the piece

[@jean-lucpradels5554]

Amazing how subpar this commentary is!!!

[@Katalanuska]

These couple skates perfectly, no mistakes but bad coreography, Bad suits. The Russians are incredible skating. It's like watching Bolshoi on ice. Canadians took for granted that they deserved the gold medal because of Russians' mistake. I am no judge but, in my opinión, Russians were the best. Greetings grom Spain.

[@Person-mh6xq]

This choreography is superb! Clever and perfectly captured the character. Outfits were spot on. The Russians are the most gorgeous skaters, but that doesn't take away from this stellar performance (minus the fall).

[@gabrielamora6265]

@@Person-mh6xq It doesn't look like a continuous coreography, just some difficult spins with bad transitions in between so they can get in place for the next one.

[@ЮлияРевина-с7з]

Где"дедакшн"за падние?

[@박현희-o8j]

이 어이없는 스캔들때문에 신체점제가 생겼다고 생각하니 마음이 아픕니다 예술성은 사라지고 기술의 난이도만을 따지는 보는맛이 사라져버렸죠 이이스댄싱이 가장 큰 피해를 입었다고봅니다

[@СветланаЮ-р8й]

Наглецы,неспортивное поведение, МЕРЗКО!

[@stanley052380]

The girl commentator is annoying. Shes cheering for the pair saying like Yes! Sheesz

[@nolaughingmatter]

Sandra Bezic. The message boards explode whenever she says something partisan which is frequently.

[@indung-empire]

@@nolaughingmatter she is Canadian, the only thing that I liked about her was she as Lu Chen's choreographer, her talks was always annoying

[@Xenafan2022]

omg Sandra... girl, "their demon trick this side-by-side triple toe loops and that's as good..... (realizing they're kinda off) as (oh, really off)... it (well I already started my bias gotta commit)... gets..(maybe they bought it)

[@Xenafan2022]

Lmao, gotta love how Sandra cuts Scott off when he is talking about their shallow uninspired footwork "have to fill the ice in this footwork section--" Saundra: "WATCH HOW THEY DO THIS LIFT; COVERS THE FULL LENGTH OF THE RINK ---(unlike their footwork OOPS)."

[@mercuryfever392]

Why don't they zamboni the ice rink after each skate? I don't know how they could possibly skate on that.

[@NealhughHurwitz]

I love them!!! :) and their dance with Bocelli-Westenra is amazing...

[@rocksane]

They didn't deserve the Olympic gold, I hope they know that.

[@marian2040]

I feel sure they will take your view on board 🤣 (not)

[@Sergigrinkovvolponyfan]

U know nothing!

Shut up

look at all these russians crying about it in the comments years later😭😭🤡🤡🤡

Ужас!!!!!

Which program was this again? Tristan and Isolade?

Sniff-sniff.

[@biancahotca3244]

Why did they divorce?

[@bogdancristea9270]

Not clear, but he got re-married to a Russian: Ekaterina Gordeeva, former Olympic pairs champion in Calgary 1988 and Lillehamer 1994.

[@tancheemendoza8102]

They divorced in 2010 and he remarried in 2020 with Ekaterina Gordeeva.

[@oshea2217]

The Russians are lovely skater, but they never add much change to their music or style, or even personality, while the Canadians were engaging and enjoyable to watch. Grinko and Gordeechev were beautiful Russian skaters who also included personality to their routines.

[@Ian.D.]

When you can't skate to a classically beautiful program, you have to find ways to present something interesting. That takes personality, I agree, but it's due to a lack of skill rather than an aesthetic choice. Case in point, Berezhnaya&Sikharulidze could have easily (and convincingly) skated to every single one of Salé&Pelletier's programs but not vice-versa. To say that Elena&Anton were not enjoyable to watch or that they had no personality is a big stretch (unless you weren't implying that, in which case, I apologise).

[@gabrielamora6265]

Watch the russian couple's exhibition Chaplin routine. They had plenty of personality, they just took the competition seriously. The Canadians used a gimmick with the love story theme and they claim that gimmick as one of the reasons they should have won, along with the "fact" that being canadian made them almost american.

[@jthrn]

still my favorite ice skaters!!

[@bnkundwa]

The best.

Посредственное катание.
