Not enough can be said about this performance. This, and Michelle's Lyra Angelica, are two of the best in the history of Nationals.

Did anyone else find the ticking clock WILDLY distracting at 92 nationals?

Kristi Yamaguchi is, hands down, the greatest ladies skater this country has ever produced as well as the most accomplished. People tend to forget that she won 2 U.S. titles in Pairs with Rudy Galindo.

I like Kristi's comment after her scores cxame out, shes so modest

[dsfddsgh]

I just loved watching Tonya and Midori Ito do their triple axels so much more then Mao Asada. They were so much more impressive then Mao's.

SPORTS ILLUSTRATED called this rendition of "Malaguena" one of the most complete performances on ice. She loses the red ribbon on her ponytail at 0500. The skating Gods must've been watching out for her to prevent her from skating over the ribbon.

I remember watching this back in the day. A performance for the ages. Wow!

Seriously one of the best programs ever performed at Nationals. I enjoy watching it over and over again. Thanks for posting!

that was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blancohuebner]

I slowed it and stopped it....no two foot.  Some ice flew up from her landing skate

6:09. The only time I recall her cleanly landing a triple Salchow jump. This jump always gave her trouble, she either doubled it or fell completely.

@mec441 Kristi also landed the triple salchow at the 1989 Worlds -

At 5:02, did she slightly two foot the landing on that triple toe loop?
