Yuka Sato "Color of Roses" by Susan Anton, Hallmark's Skating Champrionships 2001

I like Scott Hamilton's comment in the end about a good skating program.

Another beautiful program from Yuka Sato skated to "Color of Roses" by Susan Anton in the artistic portion of the 2001 Hallmarks Skating Championships in Washington DC - the continuation of the World Professional Championships started in Landover, Maryland. Shown by NBC.

One of my all-time favourite performances. My mom taped this competition for me and I watched this performance on VHS a million times. Couldn't find it anywhere on KZbin until today! Thanks for posting :)

How can you not like a skater like Yuka? She’s a treasure

[@ChristineTheHippie]

I could watch her all day. She's so pure and flowing. IMO, she'd do well under any judging system, she's a skater's skater. There's nothing forced or choppy, she floats across the ice.

Thanks so much for posting this. I've been looking for it for a long time. Such beautiful skating!

She's amazing, beautiful ad absolutely adorable. I love how it seems like while she knows she is being scored, she skates with passion, grace and even modesty which is usually seen only in noncompetitive performances.

She had one of the most beautiful camel spins I've ever seen both front and back.

プロの彼女のスケートを何度か見ましたけれども、フレード音がない、人漕ぎの伸びがスーッとして長く、まるで雲の上を滑っているかのようでした。スピードもあり、演技とおして全くブレがない。本当にエレガント！人柄からも表れる、気品ある演技ですね。

P.S. It's no surprise Alissa Czisny has transformed so much. Learning from the likes of Yuka can only vault you into perfection.

@tanaramclean Let me suggest Yuka's interpretation of Sozo by Kitaro at the 1995 Nutrasweet, one of my favorite Yuka programs. I also uploaded a video of it.

@betaxfer1 Thanks for the suggestion :) I tried looking for the video on your channel but can't seem to find it. Can you please send me the link? Thanks!
