This is so wonderful. I love Irina's skating when she's firing on all cylinders like this. This kind of music coupled with her beautiful jumping is just so good for her. I think her Tosca was too heavy, and she was skating too slow.
i agree, it was a very strange format for the grand prix final back then. what an uncomfortable postion for the other skater to be in especially when they have lost and are right in front of the camera. brilliant isu, just brilliant
@MissGreenDay7 I've just tried to imagine Mao & Yuna sitting together before their marks :D Russia & USA don't like each other but it didn't impact on Irina & Michelle. True friendly rivals
Tina Turner wrote a song about IRINA , now how did it go , Oh yes , , Your Simply The BEST ! , Better Than All the Rest ... IRINA SLUTSKAYA is simply the BEST !...

5.8s for technical merit. Are those judges on crack. Tech. has to be 5.9 or 6.0.

Irina made history here. First triple lutz/triple loop by a woman in competition. Wonderful!

I've never seen two skaters sit together while they're waiting for one of their marks.

@resfriada1 It's a lesson T(i)ara Lipinski never learned. But she was better than all that.

@MissGreenDay7 It is always nice to see them together even though they had a great rivalry. I wonder what they were saying.
