[Basileus1983]

¿what is the two last jupms? (post last split jump).

¿que clase de saltos son los ultimos 2? (despues del split)

[Surietto]

triple toe loop - alf loop - doble flip

[Tenebarum]

Surya should have refused the silver for this performance. I could buy Sato over her in 94 (just), but Baiul? This was a joke. Baiul was a smoke and mirrors act. Surya is my 93 World champion.

[PeekaPeep]

This program should've sealed the deal for Bonaly. With her superior technical ability on full display here and improved artistry to the point where it wasn't as big a liability for her as before...SHE TOTALLY GOT ROBBED THAT YEAR!!! That's why I was so damn glad she flipped the judges off at Nagano a few years later (lol). She knew what was up her entire career.

Oh, and regarding Bezic's commentary...doesn't take much to point out the haters, does it? Figures...

;-p

[getrealandsee]

Wait wait wait...did I hear Sandra Bezic say 'there's more to skating than jumps?' The same Sandra Bezic who said 'success isn't always measured by a gold medal'? That comment is what it is really about...favortism and out and out hypocrisy...slammed for being an athlete but complimented for not being an athlete and just wiggling and jiggling all over the ice...what a bunch of bull. And commentators...I think that she already knows she is Black and would have been the first Black WC, no?

[juaquino]

Gonna be a devil's advocate here and lay this card down... THE RACE CARD!

[mlc2005]

I would have given her the gold as well for jumps, but Surya was an anomaly in skating because she could jump, but did not have basic skills. For example, her lack of flow during transitions and footwork must have been blatantly obvious to the judges sitting in the front row, as it is obvious watching here on youtube even. 

Bonaly: 5.8/5.7

Baul: 5.6/5.8

And remember, the technical mark is about more than jumps. Bonaly barely won it here, but next year Yuka was just too smooth to overcome.

[roldanpinsky]

the controversy continues, its almost a moot point so far down the skating histories, yet it is true...SURYA SHOULD HAVE WON THE GOLD!

[3edere]

I totaly disagree. Bonaly could not have won the golden metal because her skating was restricted to a mere athletic performance and for unique an spectacular that was it didn't demonstrate that the girl had matured in an accomplish skater which Baiul instead was. Skating is also dancing on the ice with grace and flexibility. If u wont only to jump around....well....change discipline!

[amexred]

@Tenebarum Absolutely agree. This performance was leagues better than 1994 and it was certainly better than Baiul's technically and on par presentation wise imo.

[trojanrob24]

my goodness, this is beautiful! in today's ijs system, she would blow away the competition. i also luv her lutzes! ahhh, the days when no one flutzed...

[jmahrky]

how the hell did she not win this world championship?! now i wouldve refused the silver medal, this is a gold performance over baiul any day!!! talk about robbed!

[kwadruple]

1:37 Ugliest spin I have ever seen!

Still, this should have beaten Baiul.
