Kristi Yamaguchi (USA) - 1991 Skate America, Ladies' Free Skate

Imagine how Yamaguchi felt competing against 2 of the best female jumpers EVER in the history of the sport. Must have been nerve-wracking.

I don't think she would have even held onto a double toe on the triple lutz, she let her left hip get past her. She should have just left off the second jump and added the double toe later on her 2nd lutz

Those mistakes were crucial. It just wasn't her night.

She should have played it safe with a triple lutz/double toe instead of the triple/triple. The loop and the salchow were a shame. Too many mistakes.

Great sound quality in this video! Thanks for sharing.

It was just an off night... It's still a very nice program overall. I never understood, though, why she insisted on doing the 3 sal when she knows she isn't going to land it (I have seen her land it in competition, maybe twice or three times in her entire career).

the choreography is much better than at the olympics, as seen in the final spin. she should have stuck with this one.

God, I can imagine the smile on Tonya Hardings face when she fell on the opening combo jump. LoL!
