She would have done good without all the media hype. That is what messed her up.

THIS BROKE MY HEART. Shock and sadness.

Kristi's reaction to Midori's fall was truly remarkable...she really seemed to hurt for her competitor...no gloating...no yeeeeesss....impressive...and to me a genuine sympathy and a genuine lady...it never ceases to amaze me what goes into the making of a true champion... the pain on Midori's face was hard to watch..

You could see how nervous she was when she took her starting position. Watch past orlds/'88Olympics and she seemed eager to start her programs.

I am throbbing with excitement when Midori skates. She is so beautiful and sexy ! A twenty two years old Midori is irresistible.

quanti anni aveva nel 1992?

@MTVMANN I agree. Midori had much better spins: for example, her sit spin was much better than Tonya's; so was her layback.

I find it easy to agree with the judges. I would have put Midori ahead of Tonya too.
