Beautiful costume, lovely choice of music and an elegant stlye but way over marked for a double-double combination. Apparently Carlo Fassi walked out half way through the performance after the failed attempt at the triple toe.
Yes, the figures mattered greatly at these Champs. Ito was stunning in the Short and Long and I think Neske was under marked on the Short and Lebedeva too, although it was a cold, emotionless performance.
@mlc2005 she probably should have been 7th or 8th in the short which would have given the title overall to Ito. Watch the performances of Germans Patricia Neske and Evelynn Grossmann on tape. They were clearly better than this one. A double toe-double toe is simply not acceptable in the 90s. In face Lebedeva (4th in short), Neske (7th in short), Grossman (8th) were all much better too than Cook (ridiculous 3rd) and Sargent (6th in short). The judging was so pro North American here.
@mlc2005 yeah it is embarassing to win Worlds after a short program like this. I am surprised she was even 5th in the Worlds. A double toe-double toe combo is from the 1960s maybe.
Wow, I didn't realize that she still won the gold after getting 5th in the short program!
Midori Ito: Figures (10th), Short (1st), Free (1st), Final (2nd)
Jill Trenary: Figures (1st), Short (5th), Free (2nd), Final (1st)
This is why figures were eliminated!!!
I do give her credit for pulling it together for the free program, and I'm sure it sucked having to compete against Ito, who is probably still the greatest jumper of all time.
@metsdudenj Michelle Kwan's 2000-2005 layback was very good and innovative (the one she does with her arms behind her back). Kwan's layback was very good.
@metsdudenj It had no place in that progra, either!! ;)

JILL: You should have left the double jump combination out and then subsitituted the triple jump combo for the double flip at the end

This music is what Kerrigan skated to in 94 for her Olympic short program. Who is the composer?
