Like always you could tell where they wanted everyone to place lol. No way should Jenny been in 6th lol. Should really could have had some second place votes and at best 3rd... But she was a previous junior world champion and had no international experience so they held her down. No way should Angela been fourth she also could have had some second place votes.... Definitely should have been 3rd here..... How tf did they let Irina win this title is still beyond me and I watched this when it first broadcast on ABC over 20 years ago and yes I'm still upset about Maria not winning here lol.
Also I need to do some digging and find out who the hell was the USA judge here because they should have been fired for sure.....
Okay I'm done bitching lol.
Thanks Dave for the upload!!!

Я тоже не понимаю, как Бутырская могла проиграть Слуцкой здесь. Программа Бутырской - гениальна!! (и исполнена была очень хорошо - 3-3 удался все же) -и посредственная программа Слуцкой.. (взять, например, ее ужасное платье, совершенно не подходящее этому образу)
