      When I was a little girl, Kristi was my idol. I talked about her to everyone. One year we went to one of those skating shows, like Stars on Ice, etc. I was sitting in on the outside seat when the skaters came up the aisle. Out of all seats, Kristi down mine. I was so excited!

      Yamaguchi was a phenomenal skater. She, and skaters like her, are why I dislike modern skating with its wildly flinging, ungraceful limbs and constant jumps. Skaters can jump more than ever now, but if you've seen one, you've seen them all.

      @@damianop100 She had greater flexibility and balance than many skaters, and I believe she also took ballet. I think it was her understanding of balance, core control to obtain it, and being in tune with her center of gravity that contributed to her gracefulness.
      Some people do not seem to have a natural awareness of how to use their stomach muscles to support their core. The ability to use those muscles greatly improves balance and poise.

    Sometimes a little luck in anything goes a long way.
    Kristi always knew Midori would make or break her gold medal chances.
    In this case, Midori's mistakes became Kristi's gain.
    One slip in the LP here, but she still won.
    In 98 Olympics in Nagano, Michelle Kwan didn't fall and got Silver.

    • @singsongeric
      @singsongeric Год назад

      @Novak D I think the point is that Midori was 4th after the SP so Kristi knew she had the gold in the bag even if she lost to Midori in the LP. Her mistake on the 3L and doubling the 2S wasn't going to cost her the gold. But anyway, the point is moot because Kristi won the LP that night.

      The Salchow was always her bete noire and sometimes she was shaky on the loop as well. I guess edge jumps weren't her thing. But her toe jumps were perfect. Double Axel too.
