Albertville, FRANCE - 1992 Winter Games, Figure Skating, Ladies' Original Program - Laetitia Hubert of France surprised everyone, including herself, by placing 5th with this clean skate.
What a moment for her. Ugly dress, I agree she should have skipped the dance moves at the end and held the spin longer and damn she could have at least bowed and thank the audience for cheering her on.
Really nice short program, but her long was the disaster of all time, for which some gave her the name of "the human Zamboni." I still can't watch this, as such a meltdown hurts all who love skating.... Poor girl, she just imploded, and lost her timing totally.
that ending was really bad. she should've held the final spin longer so she could finish with the music, rather than ending with those lame little dance moves before the final pose. just my opinion.
This was great for her but looking at all the other performances I kind of laugh this was 5th place. I thought how she was judged vs Harding here and Worlds was wrong in reverse. At Worlds where Harding only did a double lutz-nothing for her combo Hubert should have been higher. Here where Harding tried the triple axel even falling Hubert should have been behind. Sato was really robbed. Sato was MILES better than this. Even Preston I thought was better and she was put 12th.
I just love this performance.
