this performance happened 15 years ago and it still gives me chills. no one since, even yu na kim, mao asada or michelle kwan has matched her elegance. this is should be put in the vaults as the most beautiful performances of all time.

Anyone notice how the ever talkative and opinionated Dick Button only said three words during this entire program? "It was elegant." That was only about 1 minute into the performance. ..A very eleant performance indeed. One for the ages.

I am not sure about that...Kulik skated before all the men at the olympics and won.

high quality is not that good.

what reality do you live in...MK in 1996 is hailed as the year the Kween took her rightful place!!!

Her face at 00:31 is so beautiful! I'd hate to have been a judge that night. (I do believe if she had skated last, Chen Lu would have won.) Hers was a career hallmarked by elegance and athleticism. You don't see that come together very often.

....to achieve this feat is one of the moments where missing the gold medal is not as important.
This was one for the ages, one of the programs and performances that will be forever remembered and studied. It's significant, and this one is in the 90s vault. It's not just how the program is put together and choreographed, but it's up to the skater to put the vision onto the ice. Chen always did that, and she did it here perfectly to the best anyone could ever possibly do.

What a beautiful program. Not a boring second, but captivating from beginning to end. This was an entire package.
