Oh my God, Scott Hamilton, shut up! I'm trying to watch a program here!

A note to the Czechoslovakian judge "Your an Idiot"! Paul Skated his heart out and was certainly robbed of the Gold Medal that he truly deserved!
-
Remember this moment fondly.

Paul was robbed. Petrenko correctly won the short program but he should not have been placed higher than fourth in the long. Wylie should have won the gold.

With the usual world split, Im afraid even he did complete the 2nd trip lutz and perform a cleaner 2nd triple axel, the gold would still have gone to Petrenko
Paul Wylie was then, now, and probably forever will be one of my favorite skaters of all-time. His artistry and musical interpretation on ice is unmatched! Thank you so much for posting this video!
(I won't even comment on the judge from Czechoslovakia.............yes I will - she's an idiot.)

For the love of skating coaches everywhere, please teach your skaters how to end a program!!! I mean, if you want to earn those extra 'brownie' points and get the crowd off their feet, then please, PLEASE teach your skaters how to do three Russian split jumps in a row and then end it on a properly executed scratch spin--like Paul does here. I mean, even if you have to make a mistake here and there, nothing says 'I'm in this' like a scratch spin!!! Thanks for the post!!!
