@danceswithcrayons Me too! She has fantastic arms for this piece, and that's soooo difficult on skates!

Astounding. A beautiful graceful swan, Oksana. Unforgettable!! I get tingles every time I see this!

@eb641 And a lovely lady too. She is back to skating again and has been wonderful to my wannabe little girl. I have nothing but a raves for the lady.

Her upper body and use of it is among the best in the sport. That moment (at .35) when she cocks her head as a swan demonstrates her true interpretive skills. She is lovely

Nancy Kerrigan's nastiness is understandable if you remember one thing: Oksana had beat Nancy in the World Championship in '86, when Nancy made 3 technical errors. To see Oksana, two years, later, beat her again -with an injured leg -was probably too much for her. And,even with stitches in her right leg, Oksana threw in a triple at the end of her program, unplanned! That must've galled Nancy even more.
Artistry-wise, no comparison. Oksana is truly a swan: Nancy just isn't in her league.

I still CAN NOT believe that this was a 16 year old skating of this elegance and beauty.
She was 100% artistry, it was just too bad everything happened in the blink of an eye with her, I would have loved to have seen her compete in amateur skating after the 1994 Olympics. Almost as if the Gold was a curse in disguise...
But what a gem in the history of the sport. One of the best programs IMO.
