I'd been in love with Paul for years before this. Was so thrilled to see him do so well :)

36 years later...but despite the passage of time I am continually inspired by this event. Whenever I feel discouraged and like I'm in way over my head, I remember how Paul was mocked and told he didn't belong there and wasn't good enough. He went out and did his best and left the others (except poor Viktor) in his dust. Thank you Paul for the lifetime of inspiration!

The reason why they play the IOC music and 1992 was that the Soviet Union is no more and other delegations decided that it was best that they are being called do you unified team in 1992.

Yes, without a doubt Paul Wylie is the greatest skater who has EVER lived, however, to Victor's credit, he did land a triple-triple combination. To put it in perspective, Paul gets to go home to the USA, enjoy a stellar professional skating career, graduate Harvard, marry his college sweetheart & father three sons. Let Victor enjoy the gold.

He landed a 3-3 but made major mistakes afterwords that really disrupted the flow of the program and disrupted the artistic impact. I don't mean to attack him personally but it's hard to justify his winning...

Ну и "повезло" же Виктору Петренко выступать за несуществующее государство. Видна даже досада в его глазах! Спасибо тебе от всего советского народа. Ты всех сделал!

How do you win without really winning? Just ask Paul Wylie. He was so happy with what he'd accomplished, and Petrenko was standing on the podium looking as if his dog just died.

No it wasn't Calgary and the Battle of the Brians. But this competition had its own charm with the silver medal win by Paul Wylie. As one announcer said Victor got the gold, but the evening belonged to Paul Wylie.

Paul Wylie totally stole the show, but this Olympics wasn't like calgary though it was special in its own way. He is the brightest star and the biggest surprise medal winner. Too bad he didin't go to the worlds. Winning a medal at the Olympics is already so big. too bad it wasn't gold.

Многочисленные мелкие, "не бросающиеся в глаза", ошибки Поля Уайли помешали ему встать на первую ступень пъедестала почета. Виктор откатал более технично, хоть и не безупречно. И судьи это увидели. А ошибок тогда не избежал никто из мужчин. Поэтому судьи поставили на первое место того, у кого ошибок было наименьшее количество. Виктор на Олимпиаде-92 был лучшим!

Karolyn Kelly-O'Keefe, you are right. Paul is such an amazing skater & should have won. Victor's performance SUCKED. Ditto Barna's who should have been given a mandatory .5 deduction for his hideous costume. Chris Bowman (R.I.P.) deserved the bronze.

Also, literally everybody messed up in the long program here... The only clean Performance came from Stojko. Wylie's mistakes were not as glaring and he stayed on his feet, which is why he got silver. Petrenko won on reputation.

Everyone messed up re-watch the performances. It wasn't about that though-Paul really came through and shined this Olympics.
