Wow, what happened to Irina ?

[dutchherder]

Actually, in that one, she looks more like the Irina I first remember seeing, skating to "New York, New York". She looked healthy and happy. That song was the pits, though. :disagree:

I agree about the song... except at the end of Yankees games!

And I did live in NYC for almost 30 years...

Thank you for sharing that link! Irina looks like she was having as much fun skating as the audience was having watching her!

When did Irina skate to "New York, New York"?

Oh, I didn't mean the song "New York, New York"; I meant the song she was skating to in the YouTube link. I assume it was in Russian-- definitely not English! I actually *like* "New York, New York"! Two of my girlfriends and I listened to it more times than I care to mention on the way to NYC last summer to see my boyfriend Jon Stewart tape his show.

The song was being sung in Italian not Russian

:chorus: :chorus:
Confusing Russian with Italian! You're funny!! At least you didn't say it was a Japanese song.
I'm joking!

Russian and Italian are two different languages, one is Slavic, the other derives from Latin. Both are Indo-European though.

Well, I didn't listen to it very long. Bad music needs no translation.
