Okay, let me be more specific. The gentleman USED to skate from the same country as IA. Surely the fact that the girl is Marina indicates that he is from that country! :rollin: He no longer skates for that country.
The Israeli guy? Not gonna try to spell that one. That may be waaaaay out in left field - I'm not all that up on my ice dance facts, but I curious about this one now.
BINGO! We have a winner! The gentleman is SERGEI SAKHNOVSKY, who now skates for Israel. (The key word was "NOW" as in "now having stood on the World podium" or something like that.... since he just won the bronze yesterday! YAY!)
Yes Denise has some very strange outfits. But you have to admit if you were in as good shape as she is for her age you would wear costumes like that too!
I would like to add Michael Weiss's long program outfit at the 2002 World's to the list of the worst skating outfits. Did he wear that at the Olympics? The material looked like it belonged on an old couch and the ruffles at the end of the sleeves looked.... I can't think of the right word. Attach a skirt to it and it would of been perfect.......for someone else.
Idleracer your comment on abt made me LOL. never thought about him looking like a dead jellyfish but, after I look at the pictures you posted I would have to agree with you. But, I have to say when I read what you said I cracked up. ~Spyralz
Here are a couple of appearance things that could be critiqued in this same category: best/worst hair, best/worst make-up. Please keep your thoughts coming all of them are making me laugh and I am enjoying reading them. ~Spyralz
<font size=4><font face="comic sans ms">[c]Alright, is this thread going to be about funny costumes, or funny facial expressions? Oh, what I would give to find a photo of the expression on the face of that Russian judge that gave Cohen a 5.0. He looked like a constipated sea elephant. You can tell what was going through his head...There! That'll teach your mom to defect over to the west!

Does anyone know why nearly all of the ice dance men have long hair? It's just not good look for many of them. (especially with bride-of-Frankenstein streaks applied.)
I have no idea why but, I have noticed that too that all the ice dancers have long hair and it's not very attractive on most of them. I wish victor Kraatz had kept his hair long. the only skater I think who pulls off long hair is John Zimmerman it's not that long but, it looks good on him. keep your insights and critiques coming

We have a saying in the South...
"I'd rather walk over my lips backwards than talk badly about someone BUT..."
In all the wonderful splendiferous things Michelle K has done over her carreer, her choice for her Sha'horror"zad costume has to be among the poorest. Her only saving grace was that Sasha C's Carmen costume looked worse.
IMHO
