Zanzibar – I guess the competition your are thinking of, is the GPF Final in 2000 (i.e. season 99-00): Sasha was a last minute substitute for Alexej Yagudin that time and he skated he skated his that time LP in Round A and „Songs from Victorious City“ with the belly dancing part in Round B.Zanzibar said:It was probably 2000 and I think he was a last-minute replacement at Worlds.

Zanzibar said:Sasha Abt Egyptian-style music, in a program many years back - think it was a long program where the costume was gold lame, with gold and black top and an enormous Egyptian eye on the chest. It was probably 2000 and I think he was a last-minute replacement at Worlds. Had some cute little Egyptian-style arm movements and shimmies, LOL, as only Sasha could successfully pull off.
Antilles said:IA&P's program was their FD from '97. The piece was called Ahla Leila (sp?), but I don't know where it originates from.
It isn't just you, DG. I like Kimmie's skating. It looks much better live than on TV, IMO, and also when she uses curved, "round," open moves rather than angular ones.Doggygirl said:I don't recall off the top of my head what LP music Kimmie is skating too, but wasn't she doing some sort of Egyptian looking moves in her program at Campbell's? Whether "Egyptian" or something else,I didn't care for it but that's probably just me.
Joesitz said:Great scene is when Salome kisses the lips of John's severed head on a silver platter. Skaters, somehow do not use this bit as they would use a dagger in Madama Butterfly. I wonder why?
Piel, ROFLMAO&PMPPiel said:Now THAT would separate the skaters from the rest of the pack. Give them the head of Speedy on a platter to hold during the spiral sequence. Much more interesting than the BS were seeing so much of now.
