Italian ice dancers F-P&M strap on their headbands and duel their way to a silver medal at the 2000 World Figure Skating Championships in Nice. Music for the middle section is "The Dark Night of the Soul" by Loreena McKennitt; other music from "Lord of the Dance" and "Braveheart."
During the 1994 Winter Olympics, CBS did a memorable fluff piece about the ISU putting the kibbosh on "dying" on ice. Watch it here: http://youtube.com/w atch?v=Sto8pijXmC8
But this wasn't the first time the network lampooned the figure skating phenomenon. Five years earlier, they ran this piece.
The Olympic gold medalists and multiple world champions bring the drama at the 1995 Legends pro figure skating competition. Bukin is of course Raspy; it seems Besti plays Tsarevich Alexei.
A dramatic ice dancing program set to music from "Bram Stoker's Dracula" and "Interview With The Vampire." Great costuming and acting!
They finished fifth at the 1999 World Figure Skating Championships.
Music by Bobby Nyse and the Scrotums. Apparently it was played at MSG at one point, if this is to be believed: http://www.csh.rit.e du/~kenny/rangers/me dia/sounds/potvin.wa v
Italian ice dancers F-P&M skate their quickstep/foxtrot/qu ickstep original dance on their way to winning the 2001 World Figure Skating Championships in Vancouver. Music: "Puttin' on the Ritz" (recording by the Cincinnati Pops) and "They Can't Take That Away From Me." Footage from US TV. Video originally downloaded from RinkSide hub (www.rinkside.org).
A beautiful ice dancing program to the music from the Beatles' "Abbey Road." NavBoms finished fourth, just shy of making the Worlds team, but they should be very pleased with themselves! This is one of this season's finest programs, in my opinion. Capture by Gregor from www.fsvids.net
