I just don't see how Oksana was allowed to skate for such a long time. Most of her pro performances were just
To me, the music choices and cuts ruined the program. She could have used something that suited her style even more. In the middle of the program, the music takes a weird turn, which has nothing to do with either theme in the program. Not to mention, she doesn't relate very well to the final two pieces of music.

Words just can't convey the horror.... (brrrrrrrrrrrrrr)
Plushenko's Baby Fetish/Sexy Baby number is the worst one I have seen so far. It was like the stereotype of a bad performance.

Yes Doris, that even made me cringe!!! It has always been my assumption that Mishin didn't think he could win so didn't have an Exibition program. Now that always told me how much Mishin believed in him. That's why when he won the gold, he said it was Tatianna who took him to gold, not Mishin.Alexei Yagudin, Worlds 1997 EX One Banana
If someone made me perform either of those programs, I'd harbor a life-long grudge against them, for sure.
Although, somehow "grudge" just doesn't seem strong enough for Baby Fetish/Sexy Baby (I haven't watched the Yagudin "One Banana" yet, not sure I want to).
Could someone really be forced to do something so ick, btw? But, if indeed forced, I think I'd spend a great deal of my subsequent life devising and implementing equally horrendous methods of torture to inflict in return. Though, I'm not sure what could possibly be equally horrendous!
Seriously, Sex Bomb did not need to be made even MORE creepy.. the original was already bizarre enough, it did not need a disturbing quality to it..
At this point in his career, I hardly believe that Mishin was still forcing him to do this stuff. I can kind of see how that would happen with Yags' One Banana since he was like 16 and still controlled by Mishin, but it seems like Plushy was already an Olympic gold-medalist at that point.. I'd assume he has some voice in choosing exhibition/show stuff.
