"Artistic" Performances from known "Technical" Skaters
So I was looking for Joannie Rochette's performance of Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix (Samson et Dalila) at the 2010 Canadian Nationals and I found this instead:
Samson and Delilah by Irina Slutskaya at 2003 Hallmark
I was pleasantly surprised. I honestly think that this is the best "artistic" performance she's done. Her jumps are superb (beautiful opening triple lutz) in this program and for once, she kinda flows across the ice. I wasn't too fond of her rolling on the ice in the middle of the program, but the rest of it was actually quite nice.
Another performance would be:
Midori Ito 1993 World Pro "Rose of Pain"
Midori really upped her performance skills in this one, imo. She obviously wasn't too convincing, but I liked it. That opening triple axel was nice too.
And the expression at the end of the video when she got three "10s" was really cute too!
So my question is, are there any other "artistic" performances from known "technical" skaters that you've been surprised about/liked before?
