ICE ALL STARS 2009 (Seoul, Korea)

[demarinis5]

OK, watched all the vedios. Thanks for uploading!

Love Moonlight Sonata but with a bit of regret. Yu-Ya was like a goddess and everybody was in the mood except Michelle, sorry, have to admit it. dreamy and gentle vs. elate and powerful. Don't get me wrong, Michelle skated beautifully but just did not match the mood of the music.

I know what you mean. She came out at the end for a nanosecond almost as an afterthought. Michelle can do dreamy and gentle, not sure why David's choreography had her depart from the mood.

It's all over and really sad..

Yes.. I was there again..
It was the best day among 3 days.
And I'm so sad.. no more Ice Show this year..
Wanna go to Japan for GPF but I would be too busy to go there.

Today
> S&Z missed a throw jump because just before the jump, Zhao slipped little and mistimed it.
> Kwan, skating to Carmina Burauna, did 2T instead of 3T but no problem at all. After 3 years since last stage, Those who dare skate like that... Unbelievable..A heck of performance

Every skater did clean his/her/their programs.
> Shizuka was perfect today!! I knew she had not been in good condition from the last month.. Anyway she is back!
> Lambiel also was perfect !! No miss during steps.
> SL was so sexy and fabulous.
> Yu-Na skated to Danse Macabre, gave a thrill to the audience and received standing ovation. She did 3T-2T, 3S, 2A.

In addition
> After encore, coach Orser and Wilson saluted to the audience with cheers.
> Brian Orser did backflips twice.. By Yu-Na, coach Orser trained himself in the morning.
> Kwan, introducing Yu-Na, added "I am so sad because this is my last day in Korea" and crowd sighed..
> Rumor had it that SBS is positive to sell DVD on the ice show. (It's still rumor!!)
> Some new pictures 1 2 First Day


Now it's all over...

Fans worshipped him.
His cartwheel was really high and the crowd was amazed at the sight.

No miss at all! And made crowd crazy.

His gesture asking more applause & more shout after ending pose also made audience

At the bus to the hotel, He closed his eyes and took a rest.
But when arrived at the hotel, he wriggled his hand to the fan with sweet smile.

 

[Brandenburg]

Thank you very much. Yes, he really appreciates his fans and never forgets that they're the people who make it all possible for him.

I think that was intentional on the part of the chorepographer. It looked like he wanted to end the first act on the upswing with a little bit of a pop.

OMG! What was Brian Oser doing?

Should he return to compete in the next Olympic with Yuna ? How old is he ?
