Which skaters look the best when falling?

[LiamForeman]

Don't ever forget Butyrskaya, She did a PERFECT imitation of Bambi's first ice experience. Knobby knees, weak legs, wobbly ankles. In fact, she always seemed to bring this program to whatever music she skated to! Her falls are epic and there should be a hall of fame for them.

 

[LiamForeman]

Do you have any examples?!?!!! That sounds incredible to be flippant about something that's a disappointment for some poor hardworking skater.

I can immediately think of the Stieglets, Olympic Festival 1995 (?). At the end of their program they both went down on their 2lutzes. Brilliant choreo.

Gosh he was a half turn short.

Lol, I think Carolina Kostner tends to look rather lovely when she falls...they tend to be dramatic falls that involve the entire behind section going splat all over the ice. Who else has dramatic falls on the ice?

It's funny how nobody here realizes the poster of this thread actually means how nice the ladies who fall on their behind look to which that pervert gets his rocks off on it.
Considering Caro often happens to have the most obscene costumes is one of the reasons why he mentioned her.

Marchei's fall is legendary

Yes! LOL! It was literally a perfect choreographic movement for that program:

Conrad, ARF!!! ARF!!!!

There we have pervert number two with his foreplay of course.

 

[LiamForeman]

You are not ordinary 'OP'. I think you are extra-ordinary!!!! I'm way too old to be considered a pervert. But thanks for making me feel vital and sexy!

Lighten up, Conrad. *SMOOCH* It's Pippin. PIPPIN!!!!!

Ashley could take some lessons from Sasha on learning how to "die" at the end of her Romeo and Juliet.

The most beautiful and well choreographed fall ever.

That baby has an amazing sense of balance!!

speaking of falls, Yuzuru's falls will put a smile on your face and Patrick definitely has the fastest get-up-from-a-fall speed!

No, Ordinary Person is right. Seeing someone fall on a hard and slippery surface makes you feel "sexy and vital?" And if she broke her leg, hoo boy! Oh well, her dress did fly up, yuk, yuk, and her legs are in an ungainly position, tee hee.

Julia Lautowa @ 2003 Worlds (free skate)

Sean Rabbitt @ 2011 Nationals (short program?)

I choose these two because they both laughed it off & were so good natured about it. Not that I wish for anyone to fall.

No that's not at all what I meant, lol. This thread is hilariously ridiculous and I don't think anyone could reasonably expect anyone is being serious. I haven't been called a pervert in decades, so that's what I commented on. No I don't get off to bad falls!!

As for falling. I prefer Princess Sit floor (Sasha Cohen's majestic title among the Chinese fans)

"You're like Jesse Jackson today, you're rhyming all over the place.."
