She radiates joy throughout this entire program. Thank you so much for posting this so that I can enjoy her performance again!

[@Rose0004]

She looks beautiful and her outfit is very pretty and colorful.

[@lexiekrewitt1735]

Lol, she said to her coach that she skated the beginning in the wrong part of the rink & she was so confused 😂 Really great job for that, I would have never seen!!!

"auf der falschen seite!!!"

@ja3399 she came back in november 1997 won the nation cup, the nhk trophy, the german chapionship, was silver medalist at the grand prix final, and finish with a european bronze medal...

Ironically, Elaine Zayak did that same combination in the US Nationals in 1994 and ended up finishing 4th in the US in the short. Tanja does it at the Olympics and finishes 5th among all world skaters!

[@grantgoffin4774]

Well 3 women at US Nationals did a triple lutz combo cleanly. Ironically only 2 women did that here (Nancy, Bonaly).

Tanja Showzhenko, because she is a Showgirl, no question about that!💕

Could you teach me Music name?

[@oeeaeoeeae4005]

she jumps on clockwise?

[@ChristineTheHippie]

I've said before, I think her jumps would get good GOEs, they're high and clean. That loop is text book.

[@mlc2005]

This reminds me so much of Katarina Witt's short program at the 1984 Olympics.

[@KellySmith1215]

Was the free skate aired on TV? I haven't seen it on KZbin anywhere and I was just curious.

Those sleeves are humungous!

[@NPress7]

@DoubleTwistingDouble It's called "Ballet Russe"

[@cookiekart]

Did the elements but was unrefined and immature compared to the other ladies...

[@alexsdb9712]

Her short and her free program were by far above Baiul's. Dirty figure skating at its best.

[@alexsdb9712]

xue 717 watch again, with a checklist as well.

[@julielabelle2907]

Technically yes jumps spins great technique would place 6 th short 4 th long but fun presentation but not as mature as Chen even though spins and spirals needed Chen lu had more mature fluid artistic Sato 3rd popped a combination in short better spinners than Chen but what add difficulty was spins intersecting footwork

[@AuntStina]

I used to feel bad for the girls who had warm up in her group. It seemed like she was always injuring other skaters.

[@seansean681]

Christina Cueto it's probably because she rotates clockwise and most other skaters rotate counter clockwise.
