What a pity they split! They could have become one of the top pairs in the world.
-
Two absolutely AMAZING skaters who went on to singles and were awesome on their own.
-
beautiful!!
-
as a pair skater, her triple sal was GREAT!
-
It's fantastic to see Kristi with such a strong throw triple salchow, especially since the solo triple salchow always gave her such problems in her single's career.
-
Too bad her coach didn't support her pairs career.
-
It doesn't look like it but if she did it was possibly intentional....I think it's just the angle from him switching feet while holding her.
-
Wow, thanks for posting this. I never saw this, although I knew Kristi did pairs with Rudy Galindo. Odd thing is that I think she could've possibly have gotten a gold in pairs, too.
-
Does she hit her head on his leg at 3:23?

I think Kristi became more artistic in her pro career but just look at her competition at the amateur level, you can totally see why Kristi was viewed more artistically.
This pair was so ahead of their time! Some of the things they did - the interesting variations on the entry to the death spiral, side-by-side triple FLIPS, the uniqueness of some of their transitions - are skills teams are only starting to master almost twenty years later.

I loved them as pair skaters more than singles skaters. They were really good. I love that star lift, nobody does those anymore!
