1997 was my favorites worlds of all time. Thank you!

[@garysimmons1485]

Kulik should have won the SP !

[@mariuslives8250]

Why weren't lone triple axels a thing back then? It had to be part of a combination jump? And Men doing just double axels.

[@3Axel1996]

Requirements weren't changed yet. SP required a 2A solo jump.

My God! Ilia Kulik had the worst taste in clothes.

[@garysimmons1485]

Research the music and you will understand the costuming,,,,it was right on point.
