I do think Witt should have placed higher in FS, especially given her stronger basic skills and presentation compared to Zayak (not to mention jumps in this case). By the way, @koolaidnhemlock (about Witt being the 1st woman to land 3F), is that really so? I thought Carola Paul had been landing them at competitions before Witt (including one at this same Worlds in an earlier group).
I agree. She had amazing flow during the practices and remember how ethereal her skating appeared while skating to the slow section of the long practice. I was even fortunate to be able to congratulate her at the time and gave her a peck on the cheek after she was awarded her bronze medal for combined free skating. :)
She was so young and already had a wonderfulll presence on the ice. Usually I don't like watching ladies skating from that time, I find it boring and old fashioned. But Witt's program was so energic, she is like flying on the ice, her jumps has so much flow. Really a pleasure to watch.
Do my eyes decieve me of does she have a bit of a mustache going on there. Perhaps it is the steriods.

She finished third in the combined free skating event. Back then, small medals were awarded for the combined free skating.

Does anyone know the name of the movie where the music from the slow section comes from ?
