I know nothing about all the technical stuff, but I really can't believe there are so many people in the comments saying she has 'no artistry' or 'just doesn't look elegant'...WTF?! I found this GORGEOUS to look at; her movements are graceful and effortless, fit the music perfectly, and she exudes so much pure JOY! Also, people saying the choreography/performance looked 'immature' ... really? She was a tiny, very young-looking FIFTEEN year old, literally a child, and thankfully her choice of music, costume and choreography reflected that. From an artistic perspective, it was a wise decision to take her age and looks into account. Children trying to act like 25-year-old divas always end up looking ridiculous and uncomfortable, no matter how talented they are.
I don't know anything about ice skating too I can barely walk on icy driveways sidewalks and parking lots and she makes it look so damn easy. Pure art and poetry in motion.
@@elizabethhurley1129 absolutely Tara did. A 3lo + 3lo + a 3fl + 1/2 fl + 3sc. And her last jump passage was a combination. Plus everything else was Olympic Gold rightfully earned. And how to win. And Tara wouldn't be upset at negative comments. She knows she had that conditioning and fire and Olympic gold dream. And the programmed packages.
She wins on the Anastasia Soundtrack alone. I love Kwan and this is the first time I knew that she used Anastasia for her soundtrack. This is such a joy.
Она на Загитову похожа лишь тем, что выиграла олимпийские игры у фаворитов, которые были не такие быстрые, не так сложно и свободно катались и допустили какие-то ошибки. До сих пор идут споры, достойны ли эти девочки золота Олимпиады…
First time seen and surprised by the elegant movement of her arms. It's so comfortable to look because her upper body is very stabilized and the movement is flexi relaxing & elastic.
Watching this performance today for the first time since that year was like a first time for me. I had to hold my breath several times. This was magnificent. The music choice, the energy, the pizzazz, the precision and gracefulness... absolutely worthy of the Gold. I watched Michelle's performance a moment ago, and although it was simply elegant and beautiful, it wasn't more captivating than Tara's. I'm still in awe of this. I have the chills.
she deserved to win this year ! Tara technically was far superior to Michelle kwan. she decided to take the most difficult way (triple triple combinations- steps sequences in the both ways- two triple at the end of her long program) and that energy that smile : she had the speed of a will-o'-the-wisp, nothing seemed to stop her, she was going to the right, to the left, in all directions, giving artistic vertigo. the judges were not mistaken in giving her the golden medal 🥇 it was her one moment in time !
@@markhayes2003 and were of lower quality (height, distance, speed into and out of them). For reference, the previous year at World's Tara also had the more difficult jump content but lower quality and higher quantity (7 triples completes compared to Kwan's 6) yet Michelle won that portion of the event with 1 less triple based on technical merit alone, no need to tie break with the presentation mark. Did Tara's jumps get that much better in a single year? No. They didn't. While I may complain and say that there is a very realistic argument that could be made for Michelle being robbed of the gold, in hindsight I don't really care. I got 7 more wonderful seasons and 7 more National Titles and 4 more World Titles for Michelle out of it, AND another Olympic medal too. Michelle went on to become a legend. If she had won in 1998 we might not have gotten that. And Tara finally blossomed artistically after she went pro. Sounds like a win-win to me
Enjoyed this program very much, skated with youthful, and joyful exuberance. If I had to nitpic, her layback wasn't up to to the rest of her talents and the spiral kind of flat, although good position....albeit holding leg up.
She won the short program. Kwan's program was stunning but technically not nearly as difficult. Tara's combination was harder and Kwan cowardly opted for a toe loop instead of a flip as her second jump. Glad she kept her wits about her and showed everyone how much technically head and shoulders she was above the entire field. Tough competitor at such a young age!
@@aliciascott4299yes that's true. But even if Michelle didn't have a toe injury Taras 3+3 was a harder combo. And Michelle's was a 3 toe + half something + 3 toe. Downgraded to a 3 + 2. Tara earned the gold.
I don't think Tara is known to flutz. She seriously knows her moves, her jumps and her elements. Evgenia Medvedeva's previously known to presumptuously made some flutz.
I thought her lutz looked OK. Her flip was little wonky, but overall, she skated well. I would have had her 5.7 at most on the second mark. Surprised she got some 5.8s.
@@skatefan9495 The lutz was badly flutzed and the flip was scratchy as hell. Tiny jumps and immature choreography too...fair enough, she was a child. However, the overall package is good I guess and her long was much better...had more energy.
Whenever the skater ends up doing a flutz instead of a planned lutz jump, the base mark must appropriately be put as a flip combination. This must be done or either a deduction for wrong edge. That is why Lipinski should have been marked for a flip combination. In today's figure skating CoP, those who flutz must be given credit points only worth a flip, and NOT the full flip credit either because they aimed to do a lutz and listed it as a lutz.
Sorry, I'm a native English speaker. But you read my comment! I don't speak Russian, so I can't help you. Speak with those who speak your beautiful language.
Are you blind? She actually uses her toe pick correctly , which means she doesn’t pre rotate her lutz or flip. She’s off the ice by the first half revolution.
Michael Cain she deserved to win this year ! Tara technically was far superior to Michelle kwan. she decided to take the most difficult way (triple triple combinations- steps sequences in the both ways- two triple at the end of her long program) and that energy that smile : she had the speed of a will-o'-the-wisp, nothing seemed to stop her, she was going to the right, to the left, in all directions, giving artistic vertigo. the judges were not mistaken in giving her the golden medal 🥇 it was her one moment in time !
This is an age-appropriate program for a young girl. I think a lot of people forget that Tara was so young here. She's not Katarina Witt, these aren't going to be that kind of "beautiful" program.
Scott Russell I agree. Very good but still looked like a junior skater. Like it wasn’t her time yet, but she nailed triple jumps. Especially the combinations
She "looked like a junior skater" because she basically was. She was still a teenage girl! Again, this wasn't Katarina Witt or Kristi Yamaguchi here...
Stupid skating system. For many years including Olympic games, the strange judges put being "cute" as artistic merit. Why do you think we got this result in 1994, 1998, 2014 and 2018 and 93 World's. They are not judging accordingly and are actually doing thes young girls a disservice.
I'm so glad Tara won the gold in 88 and beat out Nancy Kerrigan!!!! A young lady who lost her parents in the Serbian Bosnian war of that time. Kind of a precursor to Ukraine war.
What on earth are you talking about?? Tara won gold in 1998 (it’s even said in the title ffs), Kerrigan finished her career in 1994. They never competed at the same event. And Tara’s parents certainly didn’t die in the Serbian Bosnian war, I can’t think of any skater whose parents died there

I am about to turn 60 years old and was a skater in my youth and love the sport! Her two skates in Nagano are my all time favorites by far!
The ones who make negative comments have probably never skated before

This is Tara Lipinski, not Michelle Kwan.
Tara had so much pure joy on the ice.
Absolutely! A joy to watch her...
Her artistry, sense of music,technique of jumps,movements and even her dress are PERFECT!!
Perfect short program !! She deserved to be 1st. 🥇🥇🥇
her costume reminds me of zagitova skating to phantom of the operah
I like the cream colour :)

なつかしー
かっこよくて好きだったな～
やっぱり海外の方は感情表現が豊かでステキだなぁ～
当時中学生でしたがこの長野五輪で初めてフィギュアスケートを見ました。タラちゃんやクワン、イリヤクーリック、キャンデロロなどあっという間に大ファンになり録画を何度も見返しましたが、タラちゃんはあっという間に引退。まだかなり若かったから次の五輪でも見れると思ったからとてもショックでした。
このとき私もフィギュアやってて、現地で生観戦してたけど、本当にタラちゃんの演技感動だった。「芸術のクワン」「技術のリピンスキー」みたいな風潮があったけど、タラちゃんは真央ちゃんや知子ちゃんみたいに天性の表現力があるように思います。

She flutzed horrendously. The flip had no high and was tilted in the air. She saved it though.
Talgat what did you do in your life ? Except be a hater
Both Michelle and her had flutz
@@shinemendwoor Michelle didn't have a flutz, which is an inside edge take-off.

She is so far ahead of Kwan in this perforance she should have been in 1st place after this not Kwan.

Michelle flutzed all the time. Most of them did back then. Get over yourself - Tara won. Even Frank Carroll said she skated better.
アナスタシアの曲使われてたんだ！
Yes she’s elegant but she doesn’t use accents in the music, there’s a lot skating on two feet and forward and in one direction plus obvious flutz
As a musician and music educator, I disagree with you on the music part of what you said. She’s innately musical.
flutz, too much prerotation on flutz and flip. non academic 2A. 5.6 and 5.7 for me. 3rd at best behind kwan and butyrskaya

Your point does have merit because consider the flutzes and the lack of height on the jumps.
