1981 Tiffany Chin Jr. Worlds

This was a young girl that could just "Skate your eyeballs out" when all the cylinders were clicking. Her practice sessions were phenomenal, her performances......not so much. A great champion though!!! especially in the important aspects of being an ice princess!

Thanks for posting this video. I have always loved Tiffany, ever since I was 16 year old lad. I'm 39 now and I still love her. Tiffany was such an underrated skater. A very fluid and elegant skater. Her arm and hand movements were feminine and expressive.

Yes, a lovely girl.....doing some coaching these days, I have heard!!

Thanks again for the rare footage of Tiffany, k9henrydog. She's so cute when interviewed at the beginning, as cute as a young Michelle Kwan. By the way, I read your profile. I hope you recover well and get all your health back soon. Chemotherapy's tough. My Mom went through it 4 years ago for acute myelogenous leukemia. (I like George Eliot too, one of my favorite authors, especially the novel "The Mill on the Floss." I also like Thomas Hardy.

Yes, I am enjoying the "other side of chemo" much better than the voyage. 1 year out, seems great!!! I loved those two little kids in Mill on the Floss!! and Silas Marner as well, formative works for me!! We have lost some Tiffany performances her on YOUTUBE, but maybe we can get them back soon...best wishes

Nice to hear from you again! I don't think I could be doing any better. Crippled legs, and a defribrilator! I got off easy! Heart ejection factor is up to 48% from 19%...feeling better all over!!! Free from oncologist for a year! Hope you are well too! best wishes

Anyone know the music from the last section of this program.

She reminds me of Midori here. Those 2 Axels were powerful. She seemed to lose a bit of that explosive power (but not technique) after she grew taller. She was good - no doubt.

Thank you k9henrydog. I think it's great you have such rare videos of Tiffany Chin back then---I always thought Tiffany was one of the most underrated, talented skaters of the 1980s. She had a very feminine, delicate style on ice. (Yes, I thought those 2 little kids in "The Mill on the Floss" were sweet---they were both tragic figures, how the little sister interacted with her brother.) Good luck to you!
