    I love it when a skater makes a mistake or two and then fights back and skates successfully! The mental strength she had is exceptional! Many people would lose confidence and give up or not have the nerve to land their jumps after that, but Nancy could fight back. She did it in other competitions too.

    Love Nancy Kerrigan, especially that smile. When she smiles like that, I need to put on sunglasses. She glides across the ice and makes it look like she hasn't hardly moved, like her skates are wheels or something

    How can someone say that Nancy was better than Tonya? I can´t understand that! I'm sorry but are you guys blind? I mean, forget about what happened out the ice rink, we're talking about capacity, ability, skating skills, perfect execution of jumps, of the program! It's obvious that Tonya had a higher skating level back in time!
    Guys, just look at both skating programs in this competition! Nancy misses her jumps, and half of the program wasn't clean, it wasn't impecable,
    it wasn't polished! It's even funny to compare her to Tonya!
    That's a fact! You guys can't deny that, just can't! Forget a little bit about if Tonya was guilty of anything or not and see what is right before your eyes!

      Because Harding was inconsistent.
      She won ‘91 Nationals, Skate America, and a Silver Medal at Munich. The year after she fell down to third at Nationals, and dropped down to 6th at Worlds, which was literally in her home country anyway. Not to mention she was a mess at the Olympics (although her LP was decent) and from 1992 to 1993 she won NO MEDALS AT ALL. To go from having a World Silver medal to not medalling at all for en entire season…
      Kerrigan was consistent. She medaled at both 91 and 92 Worlds, ‘91-‘93 Nationals, 3rd and 2nd at Albertville and Lillehammer respectively, and was much more consistent than whatever a mess Tonya was. Tonya had decent step sequences but did not have the edge work that Kerrigan acquired. Kerrigan was much more flexible and had a 3T-3T under her belt. Harding was very sloppy and had a very tilted axis.

      So why did Tonya never finish ahead of Nancy after 92 Nationals if she was "always better"? Don't give us the "she was robbed/it was politics" answer. That's just what Harding wanted everyone to believe.

    She could never skate this program cleanly. I think if she had it would have been rewarded heavily. But she was not consistent with her jumps. Too many mistakes.

    • @alexsdb9712
      @alexsdb9712 3 роки тому +1

      It's interesting and a shame that in her earlier performances of this program, she skated it better than the performances of this program later on - to be fair the very last performances. Of course, it must be pointed out that she used this program for two consecutive seasons, 90-91 and 91-92, which isn't a bad thing but it means she knew it like the back of her hand. It's a shame because the very last times she skated this program, she never hit that lutz again, and it's unfortunate because those last two performances where the big ones - Olympics and World's 92. I feel that if it was the Nancy Kerrigan after early 93, skating to this program, we would have seen this gorgeous and unique program be skated perfectly.

      @@alexsdb9712 Agreed. I know some people don't care for the music but I actually think it suited her well. It's very beautiful almost hauntingly so. I actually think I prefer this music to the selections she used in the 1993-1994 season.

      Yes, if you’re talking about her opening move - a double Axel - it was leaning in the air hence her fall. It’s a jump, not a spin.

      Stars into a butterfly. I don't think Nancy was ever the best executor of the move. Other skaters have done it better. She always seemed to not get enough height on the second move which made the sit spin look messy.

      There was no curse on the long program at the 94 Olympics. Nancy skated it incredibly well!!!!! She also skated well in the long at the 93 Piruetten competition. And, if you'd like to see Nancy skating cleanly, and with pure joy and abandon, watch her exhibition programs at Piruetten.
