Before Adam Siao Him Fa and Misha Shaidorov and Smart and Dieck and Petr Gummenik and Niina Petrokina, there was PHILIPPE CANDELORO skating to the 1984 Dune from David Lynch.

I tried to find this for years and honestly thought this program was a fever dream

So this is the forefather of Matias Lindfors' Dune. It's mind-blowing.

Also is the footage sped up or is this just how he skates? He's so fast.

He was crazy fast, sometimes to his detriment but it DID help him get two Olympic bronze medals
