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.
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.

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

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.

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 -
