Terry Gannon: Can any of the [skaters here] match [Michelle, Sasha and Sarah]?
Peggy: Goes on and on and ON (she looks lovely in her costume) trying to be nice about the eyesore she is witnessing.
Dick: If you ask me, no!
Terry: Succinctly put.
This post is dedicated to the incomparable Margaret Thatcher. Kudos to Peggy Fleming for trying to pretend that skating is a legitimate sport when those 5.9s came up.
Margaret Thatcher was very happy Slutskaya did not show up in DC at Worlds that year. I did not want to be ill anytime during the ladies event or blinded by that hair color.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was hard to watch.
ReplyDeleteI just don't see how they decided that this was good (figure)skating.
ReplyDeleteShe seems so... labored in between jumps. Actually, some of the jumps look labored also...
ReplyDeleteI don't like the attitude that jumps are passe and the only thing that matters is artistry or something.
ReplyDeleteJumps matter but Irina's tech/style going into her jumps look awful.
ReplyDeleteThis is why we need Sandra to counteract Scotty's uberpep. If we cannot have Dick, then I will gladly take Sandra calling out the ugly, bow-legged skating of the eville Commies.
ReplyDeleteFunny how Dick kept it short and sweet here. No. she isnt at the level of Michelle and Sasha. period.
