sigh...skating of that quality is sometimes so obviously lacking today. I've always admired Mark's attention to every detail--not a finger or toe out of place...ever.

I remember watching these nationals - and thought he should have won the freeskate - that he was dropped to 4th shows you how political the judges felt about sending Wylie to Worlds and taking a wooden lifeless skater like Eldridge (back then) to win. He should have been to the 91 worlds and 92 Olympics where he got put behind Wylie who skated a far worse performance...

I think Sandra Bezic did this program. Those were the days when she could take a skater and use their strengths to create a masterpiece. This program is fabulous. I remember being upset at the time that Paul Wylie beat him for the bronze. Looking back on it, the weakest program of the top 4 was Eldredge!

This was his best performance at US Nationals ever and it was great!!!!!!!!!
He should have gone to the 91 Worlds with this performance. Beautifully skated and interpreted. He has such pure, straight-forward, clean lines. My fave part of the program is his entrance into the 3sal; great ice coverage, wonderful movements, and a very quiet edge coming out of the jump.
