 TBS--Champions on Ice
Maya Usova and Evgeny Platov are two of the world’s finest and most well known ice dancers of the past twenty years.
Usova, with her ex-husband and partner Alexander Zhulin, were two-time Olympic medalists (bronze in 1992 and silver in 1994), the 1993 World Champions, and won an additional four World and six European medals.
Although it is unusual for former champions of their status to change partners, let alone form a new team, theirs is one that was an instant success, artistically and technically, and with the judges and audiences.

Usova witnesses about this situation differently, she confirms that "it was Zhulin's ring".

Some objectors have been quick to point out that they also dislike overtly provocative programs from skaters who are not gay men.
Female skaters whose nipples are visible through transparent tops, such as Alisa Drei and Rosalynn Sumners, have met with majority disapproval; Maya Usova's costume with tassels dangling from her breasts provoked disgust more or less equal to the reaction against Galindo's crotch star.
Probably the closest comparison to the "Studio 54" Rudy Galindo is the heterosexual French skater Philippe Candeloro, who has redefined "exhibition program" since at least 1993 by stripping to the waist at the slightest excuse.
