I thought the music in both her 87 short and long was totally wrong for her. Glad they went back to more dynamic music in '88. This dainty music just does not work.
@Zuranthium Kadavy was clearly better than Witt in the SP. Witts SP sucked in fact, 4th would be generous. And Thomas made a mistake putting her hand down on the double axel so should have been belong Trenary, Ivanova, and Leistner who all skated cleanly. I would actually put Manley 1st in the short since her artistry was better than this progam and other than an easier jump combo her other elements were just a strong.
best double axel i have EVER seen

So sad that those school figures held Ido back -- she really put the "top" ladies in the shade, at least technically.

Does anyone know the music here? Reminds me of music from a Walt Disney film. I love it.

the music is taken from the film 9 to 5 (starring Jane Fonder and Dolly Parton)

it is arguable but most skaters including dorothy hamill believe that title belongs to janet lynn but ito was certainly the best jumper ever
