6.0, 6.0....

[Doug]

Can anyone name a programme that got 2 perfect 6.0's for both technical and artistic impression?

There's lots of 5.9, 6.0's out there, but when has there ever 2 perfect 6.0's???

I believe that Alexei got 6.0/6.0 at worlds in 2002 for his SP.

Torvill and Dean at the 1984 Olympics

[Anjelica]

Yes I was going to say Torvill and Dean

I think Michelle Kwan got 2 6.0s for her artistic program at World Pros in 1998 (that was the year they made it a pro-am). The program was "East of Eden."

That tidbit resurfaced 2 years ago when people were trying to find the history of the woman who was going to be the German judge at the Oly ladies comp - she was the judge who gave the 2 6.0s. As it happened at the Olys, the woman put MK first in the SP and 2nd in the LP (behind Sarah but ahead of Irina), essentially voting Michelle the gold medal.

Torvill & Dean got 6.0 for both marks in:

1984 Olympics FD (3 for tech, 9 for art)
1984 Worlds FD (4 for tech, 9 for art)

I think they did that at other times too (like 94 Brit nationals). Can't think off the top of my head of the other times, but I know they got about 14 6.0s for tech over the years (something like that).

[tdnuva]

ok - t&d 6.0s in both tech and pres:

1981/1982 British national free dance (Mack and Mabel): T2 P7

1982 Europeans free dance (Mack and Mabel): T3 P8

1983 Worlds osp (Variations on Paganini): T1 P6

1984 Europeans free dance (Bolero): T3 P8

1984 Olympics osp (Capriccio espagnol): T1 P3

1984 Olympics free dance (Bolero): T3 P9

1984 Worlds free dance (Bolero): T4 P9

1994 British national free dance (Let's face the music): T1 P9

(altogether 155 6.0s in eligible competition - all the 6.0s not mentioned were either presentation marks or marks for compulsories which sort of were mixed presentation and tech)

Indeed he did:

5.9 5.9 5.8 6.0 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.8
5.9 5.9 5.9 6.0 6.0 6.0 5.9 6.0 6.0

Michelle, Alexei and T&D so far... anyone else?

What I am particularly interested in is when a single judge gives 6.0 for both marks, and at a major amateur competition.

Gordeeva & Grinkov?
Klimova & Ponomerko?
Annisina & Peizerat?
Mishtetunok & Dmitriev?
Yamaguchi?
Browning?
Boitano?

Where's Louis when I need him....

Slightly off topic, but ... you might be interested in this Debbi Wilkes article from a year ago about "perfection" and the 6.0.

Didn't the Chineese pair get 6.0's in both at worlds last year?

[trains]

Donald Jackson is still in the Guinness Book of Records for having received seven 6.0's at Worlds in 1962. I don't know if there were any 6.0/6.0 combinations, though.

I think they did, and they may have also done so at Four Continents last year too.

[Spark]

I remember at the 1998 Canadian nationals, Bourne & Kraatz and Elvis Stojko both had sixes in both sets of marks in their free programs. I don't know if any one judge gave them two sixes though.

Shen & Zhao received 2 sets of perfect marks at Worlds and 1 set of perfect marks at 4 Continents.

Where's Louis when I need him.... Becasue I love to be a broken record.....I hope none of those marks were given to any skater who skated before the last skater. Because, that mark should be illegal!
