Found this in my travels....
Alexei skating to "Winter" from what looks to me like a show in Canada. http://rutube.ru/tracks/433258.html?v=ea8976d92559659bec4ffa293f1544bf Laurie |

Here's one I haven't seen before. This is from Russian TV of interviews with skaters and coaches from the 98/99 season Grand Prix Finals. Alexei,
wearing his "Lawrence of Arabia" costume and looking mighty fine, is featured towards the middle and then again at the end. Amusing to hear Dick
Button in the background pretending he can't hear the question he's being asked (which I presume was on politics in ice dance, LOL).

Thanks, Laurie, I enjoyed that. But ten years ago! As the saying goes, "time flies".

Here's one from 2002 - adorable fluff piece of Alexei in Japan at the World Championships. The commentary is in Japanese, but Alexei is speaking English so
you can follow along.

And for contrast and just 'cause I'm in a "Gladiator" kind of mood, LOL - that's going to be the ringtone on my new cell phone
 -
here's "Gladiator" from the Worlds 2002 qualifying round:

That's a great one - truly very elegant, and I also love the romantic, blousy costume. He didn't perform it a lot, but at least we have it on video.
Thanks, Andrea! Laurie |

The video quality on this is really poor (at least on my computer, LOL), and, unfortunately, the video cuts out before the end. But I know how it all ended in
real life, LOL...
Japanese fluff piece on the Alexei/Plush rivalry at Grand Prix Finals (I'm presuming) - segments from the GP Finals in Japan and then later on with the following GP Finals in Canada: http://www.tagstory.com/video/video_post.aspx?media_id=V000164887 Laurie

Excellent version of "Racing" from Kristi's "Salute to Gold" show in 2003:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x58r6k9TDfs I've always just loved this program - great music, amazing choreography - and brilliantly performed by the master...

I haven't looked at "Memorial" for a while. Maybe not his greatest performance of it (he seemed a little fatigued), but the footwork throughout
is just incredible, and I love the way the tension is not only sustained but continues to build. And the costume is gorgeous.

This link/ video has probably been posted before but I just love the way he says "hello" in the beginning, so I had to post and share it

Here's my fav version of "racing' it is from Skate America,it turned out he was in pain when he did it but i think it is his best performance of it,it testifies of his ability to give it 110% even when he doesn't feel well.It was a cool program when I saw it for the first time back then on TV and I still think it's way cool. http://youtube.com/watch?v=9q70BbgHUIQ |
