I love that the beginning was also the music she used at the 94 Olympics and 93 Olympic test event.

You could tell who was coached by the Scotvolds. The music always had a American symphonic sound. The choreography was similar in style among their students. You could see it the most in Paul Wylie and Nancy Kerrigan.

They each became Olympic silver medalists, so you could say the Scotvolds were successful coaches.

Classic elegance in her skating.

She did beat Cook soundly in both the short and long programs. She only lost to Cook because she was so far behind Cook in figures. She actually lost 2nd place in the long program phase to Kristi Yamaguchi on only a 5-4 split. Had she been 2nd in the long program phase over Kristi, it would have been enough to pass Cook overall.

Yes, she looks great here in white,it's the contrast with the dak hair - she was pretty - no doubt. But her skating never felt emotional to me, that's why I never was a fan. When all of the craziness of 1994 happened, I lived in Stoneham and was shocked by how many people from her own home town, didn't like her. I think she's changed a lot since then, seen interviews where she seems to have softened a bit. She grew up into a good mom I think..

Her program was far superior technically and artistically to Holly Cook's. Nancy should have won the bronze that year.

She has such a polished look to her skating. I also love her landing positions on her jumps.

The opening piece of music is the only part she used 1994 olympic program. Skaters do it all the time. Michelle Kwan skated to the music from East of Eden three times in different seasons.

Good call on the music.

Talk about recycle music! Parts of this were used in her Olympic 94 free skate or am I wrong? Based on pure ability, Tonya beat her hands down. Nancy was a 'manufactured' skater whereas Tonya was a natural. Wasted talent.
