Oksana Baiul 1993 European Championships SP

Oksana's sensational debut to the European Chapmpiohships.
After missing the combination jump, her shoelace came undone. She was allowed to re-skate the program and nailed everything. What a girl!

I've qalways wanted to see what this was like! thank you

[Scabiosa]

Glad you liked it.

It was Referee Wilhelm's call. I guess he felt that perhaps the jump combo hampered by the lace coming undone (and Baiul just hadn't noticed it yet) who knows?

Everybody makes mistakes of one kind or another, but its what you learn from those mistakes and rise above adversity that counts.

that is an empty arena...

Oksana is just the EVER BEST Skater !!! Because skating is not about only jumps or moves or artistics - it's about everything putting together !!!

that ghirl was probably havin a heart attach becoz her career of iceskating almost ended and your an insensitive bitch who is jealous becoz she turned out great

so shut the hell up and leave her alone

Baiul was so far ahead of her time vav artistry and musicalty which were flawless. Artistically she changed her sport in just a couple of years;until her world collapsed into a black hole of grief at the death of Sergei Grinkov. A series of very destructive choices followed which detoured her career downward.

Some people try to diminish Baiul's standing by emphasizing her technical inconsistency esp vav jumping. I say: technic sans passion in art = technic in love-making-OK but not thrilling.

[zackyko]

she is so far the best i have ever seen...

@lilmisstoepix17 Sometimes the truth IS bitter ...

[lilmisstoepix17]

@iceroby72 That's horrible. Whether you think Oksana deserved to win at the Olympics or not, she won, deal with it, and don't go round being bitter 16 years later.

[iceroby72]

None of your concern. Prove me I am wrong ... Anycase this music is from the cd "Nouveau Flamenco", by Ottmar Liebert ...
