Regina Spektor On Ice

This is quite bizarre. And quite brilliant. It's a routine from what I assume must be the Russian version of Dancing On Ice, with Regina Spektor's Apres Moi used as the backing track. The choreography is miles ahead of anything we get on ITV1. No wonder Russia keeps winning all those Olympic medals.

Regina posted the clip on Facebook earlier, saying:

"How amazing! i feel so lucky that they chose my song for this beautiful piece... i LOVE skating- and i've never seen a work like that... i felt so bad that Oksana Domnina and Maksim Marinin were so upset after their beautiful job... it's so frustrating to fall after working so hard...

(I missed the fall first time round - it comes at 3'49", and explains why the skaters look so gloomy at the end)
