    As an American 13 year old, I recall being disappointed Nancy Kerrigan didn't win. Watching this video as an adult, I see that that Oksana Baiul surpassed Kerrigan with the perfect combination of athleticism, technique, and artistry. She fully deserved this gold medal!

She seemed to think she ought to get the gold just for showing up, and appeared genuinely shocked that the sympathy vote didn't automatically tip the scales in her favour. Her comments about Bauel were honestly something I'd expect from a fifth grade mean girl, not a professional adult woman.

    What's with all the ignorant "land every jump on two feet" comments? She doesn't land any that way. I too, remember watching this back in 1994, and it was obvious the moment she came off the ice that she was going to win. This routine had more speed, more variation, and just plain more fun in it than anyone else's. The idea that this isn't artistry because she "danced" and shook up the routine with popular music and some jitter bug is nonsense. She didn't fall, she stuck her triples. She did make one mistake where it looked like she bailed on a triple and turned it into a double. But I really think the overall playfulness and fun of the routine is what won the judges over. I don't understand why people are so bitter towards her. She was great.

И тут Баюл выскочила как чертик из табакерки! Получила высшие баллы за произвольную, потом судьи сладывали общую сумму, она получалась на первом месте, потом еще раз пересчитывали на калькуляторах, не верили своим глазам.

    Her triple lutz at 0:54 has incredible height and so well done. Nancy did a triple lutz that was very good too and much later in her program. As good as the lutz was her triple loop at 1:54 is even more impressive with the height and distance traveled over the ice. Followed by a light and airy very well executed triple salchow at 2:22 is probably what clinched the gold for her. Look at her careful positioning of her free leg just prior to takeoff on that salchow, wow ! (see it in slo-mo at 4:37)

    The greatest of all time on the 3Lz, 3Lo, 2A, and especially 3S. The enormous height, the toe point in the air, the gorgeous takeoff and landing positions, the lightness of it all. Who else could have a 3S as a highlight. I've watched so many figure skaters over the years and Oksana still has the best solo jump repertoire. I really wish we could've seen a clean flip here though.

      @Jn Zorin ну я бы посоветовала хотя бы глянуть биографию. Так-то хваленый вами СССР немного для неё сделал, материально её государство не поддерживало. Большой вклад сделали тренера. Да и насколько я понимаю, всем было плевать на развитие ФК в других республиках,развивали его большей частью в России.

    Wow the pressure these people perform under is intense, I'm glad winning isn't everything, I hope they can get on reasonably happily with their life now.

    Sorry but... Nancy bores me to tears, but Oxana I cannot tear my eyes away from. She won regardless of any technical errors, the winner always goes to the more artistic performance.

    I've just noticed that not one of the top 4 women that night (Baiul, Kerrigan, Chen, and Bonaly) had a cheated lutz, which is so common nowadays. They all vaulted perfectly using the big toe/ middle toe part of their toepick. And all of them were on a correct outside edge. I wonder why the quality of the jumping was much better back then.
