That British judge was tough. I have watched a lot of events she judged, and she always gave low marks to just about everyone.
-
Tonya had the speed, The high jumps and energy. She needed a bit of artistic direction >She could have gone far if it wasnt for that Kerrigan incident!
-
@faeryquene> without jumps there is no much dynamics is there!!
-
@bendonna Amen - you nailed it on the head. Tonya was the best overall in terms of talent, but so lazy! And yes, the free programs (and many of the original programs) were lackluster. Lillehammer was better overall.
-
@ThePharaoho The problem was that Tonya could rarely land those jumps either. If she had actually taken the training seriously, she would have been on par with Ito perhaps. But no.

Go white girl, Go white Girl, Go white Girl

Tonya always had the most voidy music choices!
-
@greff08 She was but like Chris Bowman,had too many bad habits.They both were naturally gifted.
-
She started getting cocky in her moves which costed her. If she chose and practiced with moves that she had better control over she could have won. Such an amazing skater in her early years, it's sad
-
But how many of today's skaters can land her jumps? Not many.
point being if Tonya had trained (or skated like she had at Skate America earlier in the year) she would have been on the podium, and may have even been champion with the way the rest of them skated. Certainly one of the worst olympics ever in terms of the freeskates

I would have had Bonaly behind Yamaguchi, Kerrigan, Ito, and Harding. Because apart from the jumps she could not skate to save her life.
