Bεατρίκη και εγώ τρελαίνομαι για το άθλημα αυτό!! Σκέφτομαι ότι θα ήταν μεγάλη εμπειρία να τους παρακολουθήσει κανείς από κοντά, αλλά νομίζω ότι από την τηλεόραση δεν χάνεις τίποτε….
Τόσα κοντινά πλάνα, τόσο ο φακός δίπλα σε κάθε τους κίνηση, οι επαναλήψεις των καλύτερων εκτελέσεών τους, τα κουστούμια τους, η μουσική, η ομορφιά των κορμιών… μα προπαντός ο αγώνας που έχουν κάνει όλοι τους να φτάσουν σε αυτούς τους αγώνες!!!
Χαίρομαι που βρήκα κάποιον να με νιώθει!! Καλή θέαση !!!!

It one of the most beautiful sports to watch in the world. The skaters, how they glide so gracefully, how they seem to be flying when they jump, how their movements flow and match the music. I love watching it!!!!!!!!

Figure skating has always been about telling a story. Much like any movie/tv show/musical/play, in order to tell a story… costumes must be utilized.

How somebody can twirl 3 times in the air, be caught and then glide on is completely beyond me! It is the most amazing sport. Back in Torvill and Dean days I was riveted to the screen, and still, if it’s on, I love to watch. I’ve been distracted by the Australian Open tennis but I have caught glimpses. 🙂 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Efi.
