@mlc2005 You make some valid points..but I definitely think his jumps had abandon. That opening triple Axel is absolutely spectacular.

[mlc2005]

He never had much spark or flair, but he did pull it together here, and he certainly deserved to win. The one thing he lacked, for whatever reason, was a bit of style and abandonment.

Wow, haven't seen this in ages, what an amazing performance. I don't think he could have done it any better!!

Omg I was going to say... Was that Brian Boitano? I'm proud of myself for knowing his voice. He sounds like John Ritter to me.

But yaa Todd is so beautiful here. I love the first jump where he just flies right at the camera.

@RanityIsOnThat Yes, it is.

[RanityIsOnThat]

Is that Brian Boitano's voice along with Dick Button?

I remember that Urmanov beat out Stojko in 94. Thats why i put that there.

And I think my parents recorded the Grand Prix that Urmanov won. On the same tape as this competition. When urmanov was on i could see it but, he was much more inconsistent in terms of the skating. Eldredge, while title wise not as decorated, was at least consistent. Plus, I know this is personal opinion,but I always looked forward to seeing Eldredge's Triple Axel vs. Urmanov's.
