1997 World Championships

SP : 3 | LP : 12 | Final : 9 | Photos
Date Mar. 16 - 23, 1997
Location Lausanne, Switzerland
Short Program (3) Scores
Short Program (3) Review In the short program, Elena and Anton skated to a classical waltz by Johan Strauss, their short program for the 1996-1997 season. The program was flawless, but placed only third because B&S were somewhat inexperienced.
Long Program (12) Scores
Long Program (12) Review The long program was a completely different story. The performance was disastrous, including four falls. It started off with a perfectly-rotated double twist, and then fell apart. Anton fell on his triple toe loop and his double axel. Elena also fell on both her throw triple salchow and her throw triple loop. Anton didn't even wait to hear the scores with Elena because he was so frustrated with the performance.
