I do love this program, but am I the only one that thinks its a bit bitchy to do the whole "waiting to go out on the ice". I mean, come on. It's almost like a fuck you to the audience. It seems calculated to me.
When I saw it live back in 1994, it was the first time I've ever heard of Ukraine. Since then, I've been there seven times already. So many beautiful girls over there! I keep coming back. Thank you, Oksana!
Great program but she definitely 2 footed teh lutz badly. When she gets nervous she has a tendency to double foot. Its a habit of hers. Nancy should have one the gold, way superior technically.
Amazing how the commentators start with some comments as usual yet very soon they just are rendered speechless til she finishes.....for such obvious reasons..... Amazing!
believe it or not i agree with you. the one jump oksana could do well (but nancy could do even better) was the triple lutz. i miss those good lutzes the women used to do. now they do three triple flips in the program.
the one thing i don't like about oksana's skating is she was very shirley temple. people love her artistry (and i will admit, it was good), but she skated more like she was skating at the country fair. nancy was more mature, but a bit boring. the 93-94 period may have been the least mature period in skating.
The Swan by Saint Saens was her Exhibition program. This is from Swan Lake the ballet, with music by Tchiakovsky. I'm an orchestral musician and have played this music. I win.
It is most definitely Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, it's an edit from the 'Pas de Deux'. Plus if you know the story told in this ballet, there's a white swan and a black swan, which is what Oksana was portraying.
yes, you're the only one who thinks that. It's some nastiness in your mind.

In the replays you can see that Oksana (as well as Nancy) went into the lutz from the proper outside edge.

@dylanvalente Both had great lutzes. Oksana in particularly had a HUGE lutz in her LP. She soared that sucker.

Wow...they didn't have to do that many jumps back then, did they?!
shannonthomas 4 years ago
they had different requirements. they had the double flip, not the triple flip, but oksana could do the triple flip if needed.

yeah landing on two feet like she did in the long program. Nancy was robbed.

Indeed, there are many different movements within the piece. Some people can only recall one or two movements.
