I just discovered Yuna Kim‘s Die Fledermaus SP and I love both choreography and music. Is it just me or is this one of her lesser known programs (maybe because she was still so young and did not skate or clean very often as far as I can see).

Have any other skaters used this piece of music?

I really liked Jenny Kirk's Die Fledermaus freeskate circa 2003/2004. If anyone can find a link to that or to the free skate that it IIRC replaced (I think it was an Abba medley) please share!

I think Todd Eldredge skated to it as a short program in the early 1990's.

We were lucky enough to be @ 2003 Skate America when Jenny Kirk skated to it & brought the house down!

I've been tired of Die Fledermaus ever since the floor exercise compulsories at the 96' Atlanta Olympics :laugh:

But I could see Medvedeva, Eunsoo, or Stanislava using it

My favorite version of G&G with Toller Cranston commentary...https://youtu.be/xUCEJdg3G44

Sweet Lord in Heaven. That is glorious.

While not this particular piece, I thought Kristi Yamaguchi's Olympic SP to Strauss' Blue Danube is an unsung masterpiece.

This particular video starts out with some a bit of the warm-up, an interview with Tonya Harding after her short, a preview chat with Kristi, an interview with Dorothy Hamill... the real stuff starts about 3:30.
