Funniest or Cringiest Kiss and Cry Moments

[Joe Mendoza]

Just curious...what has been the funniest or cringiest kiss and cry moment you have witnessed in skating? Video clip receipts are certainly welcome.

I don't have a video of it, but Mishin wiping his nose with his mask before putting it on in the Kiss and Cry with Kolyada this afternoon was hilarious (and gross)

No videos I'm afraid, but...

That time Artur Dmitriev Jnr had a bad skate and I honestly thought he was going to punch Mishin in the face. Don't have a video because I can't remember the competition only the moment...

That time Yagudin had a tantrum and stomped off because he knew he was going to lose leaving T Tarasova and some other guy sitting alone in the KnC while the cameras followed Yagudin marching off. I didn't feel bad for either one of them

The iconic moment Nobu burst into tears in the KnC, hey now he feels things... STRONGLY and Evan Lysachek's reaction

I'm not a fan of "cringiest", gotta say

But for pure good hearted fun, Tomoki Hiwatashi's "spit take" at unexpected good news at 2019 Junior Worlds is hard to beat (watch til the end, it's worth it). Start at about 7:00 in the clip, but I hope I set it up to start then:

Basically every KnC with Tursynbaeva's mom. But this must be the most cringey and at the same time funny. No wonder Eteri didn't allow her in KnC

"That's my dog!" Jimmy Ma seeing the screen in the KnC at the mostly national Skate Amerika in 2020. A great and really funny moment

^ You beat me to it with that one, ladyjane!

Peter Cain just about falling off his seat in the K&C when Ashley & Tim realized they won 2019 US Nationals!

A thought just came into my head - have we ever had a proposal?

I think Zhao Hongbo tried to propose Shen Xue on ice.
Don't know about a proposal in KnC.

Followed by his expletive after hearing his score. I die!

Not in the K&C but on ice:

Olympic Skaters Get Engaged on Ice

John Baldwin kneels in the middle of the ice to ask Rena Inoue to be his wife

The time when Bobrova wiped her nose and then “fixed” her make up with the same napkin. Olympics 2014 I think.

Stepanova Bukin and their “friendly” kiss at NHK 2019. (Not exactly funny, but sure memorable, considering Ivan has a girlfriend!)

 

[lizardlass]

I don't remember what performance this was, but one time Kurt Browning heard Scott Hamilton's commentating remarks from the K&C and responded to them?

 

[prorussian fan]

Tara's screams in Nagano 1998 were really irritating, but the moment was worth it!

 

[noskates]

Didn't Todd Sand propose to Jenny Meno before they took the ice at the Olympics or Worlds? Don't remember exactly the conpetition (obviously.)

 

[iluvtodd]

John Baldwin proposed to Rena Inoue on the ice, didn't he? Wasn't it during a competition (not sure if it was @ US Nationals or a GP event)?

In show skating - Kurt Browning proposed to Sonia Rodriguez in front of an SOI audience in Canada. For that matter, didn't Scott Hamilton propose to Tracie in a similar way?

Also in show skating. We attended "Fashion on Ice" in Trenton, NJ in December 2006. Ice dancer Taylor Fitzgerald proposed to Naomi Lang after one of her performances (we saw them together in on of the Family Skating Tribute shows, but now she is married to someone else).

Hongbo and Xue had an ice show to celebrate their wedding that was pretty cool.

Another fun KnC moment: https://youtu.be/V7e446Opli8

John proposed fo Rena on the ice at Nationals. I posted an article up thread

Does anyone know whether John ever followed up and married Rena?

Does anyone know whether John ever followed up and married Rena?

According to this article, yes, they married each other. (Obviously Rena would have needed to follow up too. )
