1994 EUROPEANS : KRISZTINA CZAKO FP

The first minute and a half is just packed with triples, huge ones and a gorgeous triple-triple combo. She finished only 6th though as the contentiion was tough that year.

Great performance, one of the best for this program and perhaps one of the best in her career. Yes, she did three triple toes but remember the first two were as a jump combination (3toe-3toe) so this is (1). The second one (2) was the solo 3toe later in the program coming off of footwork.

She skated this program better at OG and even better at worlds.

Didn't the rule change the following year for repeating the same triple three times ?

she had a great season that year. except here, she did 3 triple toes. I don't think the last one counted.

I think it was allowed in 1995 but I am not sure. Yes, she had a great season although she had no triple lutz yet.

@stefrevollo the 3rd 3toe was in fact a 3 toe-wally. Until the end of the 90es it was allowed to repeat either the 3 toe-loop or the 3 toe-wally. So the Zayak rule was already in place, but in fact the two jumps were considered to be different. Nowadays they are considered the same jump.

It annoys me that she had no choreograpjhy in the early years of her career because she proved to be AMAZING in 97 and 98 when she worked with Bobrin. I blame her coaches for not seeing the CH as important, she had the tools in 1994 to challenge for a medal in Lillehamer but just no choreography.

Brilliant skater.

One of the few skater, like Rechino, who had so much talent, but never quite had their big break (though she does have a European Silver Medal to her credit)

One of the few skaters to put moves and tricks in and out of their jumps at that time. Very nice sliding layback into D.axle in the middle!

I think this performance was much better than the one at OG because she had more control here. This one was closer to world's performance (the best one). At OG her presentation was less and sacrificed some to keep up and to throw in a jump. I think the rule was made in the 80s during Zayak's time. But Czako technically only did 2 here (one in combo).
