1994年是迄今为止最精彩的一次双人滑比赛。
我找到一篇分析那次比赛的文章，非常赞同作者的观点。 
A detailed analysis of "Moonlight Sonata" (as skated at the Lillehammer Olympics 1994). It gives an inside why G&G won that night.

Introduction
I broke the report on 2 categories: technical merit and presentation. I'll also talk about artistry, but it's a personal thought and has nothing to do with winning an Olympic Gold medal. It's just what I think about the programs. I promise that the report will not be biased towards G&G (I am a G&G fan if you didn't guess yet), so the paragraph about artistry will be at the end, which wasn't the deciding factor of the competition. I just wanted to say a few words about it, that's all.
Anyway, the technical merit includes the difficulty of the elements, the quantity of the elements and how well were those elements executed, or in other words- the quality. Presentation is all about utilisation of the ice surface, edge control, speed, flow, line, how well the elements are put together to make the program look complete and not just running from one move to the other, and most importantly for pairs- unison.
I. Technical Merit
a) Side by side jumps:
M&D had planned sbs 3 toe loops, sbs 2 axels-2 toe loops, 2 flips
B&E had planned sbs 2 axels, sbs 2 loops, sbs 2 flips-2 toe loops
G&G had planned sbs 2 axels, sbs 2 axels-2 flips, sbs axel-loop-half loop-2 salchows
Pairs skaters and judges put the least emphasise on sbs jumps (although nowadays it seems the opposite), but the jumps must be performed in unison, and by this I don't mean just the timing of the jumps but the same technique, which is extremely hard to achieve. Just like you and I walk differently, skaters jump, spin and do plain crossovers differently. You may say, "Pairs skaters are coached by the same coach, they ought to do things the same". But I bet they wish it was that easy. For example, both Tara Lipinski and Nicole Bobeck is/was the pupil of Richard Calaghan, but we both agree that their jumping technique is quite different. For pairs skaters one of the hardest things to do is to execute elements evenly. And that's what G&G did better than anyone else. Not only they executed moves at the same time, they did it with the same technique.
In jumps they had the same take-offs, arm positions, positions in the air, and the same landing positions. They didn't come to a complete stop before jumping. They were close to each other while jumping/rotating/landing, unlike other pairs. They didn't look scared. Most pairs have the look, "I wish I land this jumps" instead of "I wish I land it in unison with my partner". When G&G did their sbs 2 axels, it seemed like they didn't try to match each other, but rather did it like only one of them was on the ice. But the jumps were executed in the complete unison. The quality of their jumping was very high. They landed with great back position, unlike B&E who had bent backs. Artur Dmitriev wraps his free leg higher than Natalia Miskutenok, while Natalia has very tight revolution in the air and lands with her free leg close to the ice (a la Tonia Kwiatkowsky), which cost her in the past to two-foot jumps. And that was exactly what she did. Natalia two-footed a 2 axel in the 2 axel-2 toe loop combination. Although it was a slight two-foot, it counted and what it means is that it's like she never tried it. It means that M&D's long program didn't include Natalia's 2 axel. The long program doesn't have deductions, therefore M&D didn't receive any for this mistake, but the base mark for the performance drops down.
Sergei Grinkov had a slight bobble on the landing of the 2 flip in the 2 axel-2 flip combination, but he didn't put his free leg or his hand down, he didn't stepped out of the jump, so the jump received full credit. It wasn't a failure of the jump, it was a less perfect landing. Therefore it receives the full credit (without extra points if the jump was landed magnificently). Artur Dmitriev also had a little weak landing on a 3 toe loop, bu |
