Anjelika Krylova and Oleg Ovsyannikov | 1997 Worlds FD - “Masquerade Waltz”

Anjelika Krylova: Favorite ice dancer, most beautiful person on this planet, queenliest of queens, supercoach, hero at life, and, as I’ve learned tonight…potential ninja/serial killer?! Basically, she is the greatest.

Your favourite dance program

This question is very easy to answer. My favourite dance program is Krylova/Ovsyannikov’s Carmen from 1997-98 season (Sorry for my youtube spamming). The program was so innovative. They changed the ice rink into a theatre. They were sometimes criticized for not rigidly following the rules of ice dance. It was probably because they thought fundamentally what they did on the ice was art, and those rules were nothing but shackles to them.

Never get tired of this performance.

I love this description. This is absolutely my favorite Carmen ever.

This looked better/made much more sense in my head when I imagined it. Oh well. still fierce, faves4evar, my queens, etc.

Aaah, I love this program. I’m sure this shocks fives of no ones. Well played, Linichuk.

what you did 10 years later, not so much.

Anyway, I wish they had been able to compete for so much longer after this. /womp womp. /Creys.
