@Karlinberlin1 I saw Nancy perform after the 92 Olympics in Miami. A very respected journalist who commented on dance said the same thing you did. She was less than impressed with Kristi Yamaguchi, and the audience agreed. Nancy was the star that night.

There is a coolness in the skating, but I don´think boring. Her moves are very modern, angular, muscular, and sleek. Not out of the balletic tradition nor hyper-feminine (the dainty hand/willowy arms thing). It´s an image of how a modern woman can be graceful (not to mention beautiful) but not fragile. I´m sorry no one picked up on the style. I like it very much.

@victoriaindigo Oh, I don't know. I think the music was beautiful; especially the first half, I think.

@snowballwannabe I think her choice of music may have affected her medal placement. The music is an original composition by another skater and IMO it's terrible. The music doesn't invoke any emotion at all. Sometimes it's better to go with the classics. The audience, judges and the skater often connect more with something familiar like Swan Lake or Carmen.

What a boring nonsense disconnected music choice. She should have won this FS no matter what, but I guess judges back then always considered both Kerrigan and Harding as Yamaguchi's bridesmaids.. which is annoying because they both could break Kristi's ass technically n even artistically at any moment during that period.

I don't understand her penchant for programs where the musical selection is full of bizarre breaks and all different styles jumbled together. None of the different cuts of music have anything to do with each other and the whole thing seems very disjointed and jarring. And she is wearing a very traditional, feminine, princessy dress which doesn't really go with the style of music she chose.

@The123musicals I don't think she was overrated at all because she was a terrific technical skater...but boring? Could be, yes. She was phenomenal when she came on the scene, but the problem is her style didn't change. If you've seen one routine, you've seen them all. She did her one thing very, very well. She didn't experiment with choreography and push herself.

That opening combo was beautiful and particularly notable is the fact that she moved relatively quickly out of the first into the second jump - no delay to establish balance - beautiful routine.
