Tonya Wins the national title here, People say that Nancy would have won if she skated. But she never skated a clean program until Olympics, I also think that Tonya would have done the triple Axel if Nancy was skating.

What a story. Crazy ass life but no one can deny her skating skills.

Her lutz is amazing so powerful and perfect, she ends the rotation before her blade touches the ice, actually a lot of skaters UR a loop and Tonya not, that championship was 26 years ago, she was ahead of her time technically speaking

She was ahead of her time in a lot of ways..her choice of music was bold and fun, not the same classical piece everyone has skated to..

her triple loops were always amazing. incredible how she could even drop out of the jump because she almost always finished all of her rotations in the air.

I echo the sentiments. If none of the lead-up had ever occurred, Nancy competed and Tonya skated exactly like this, she had an excellent chance of walking away with the national title. Nancy was not the greatest competitor, she merely had the look of opulence that was marketable. Nancy never skated her programs to 100% and typically struggled to even get credit for half of the jump elements. Tonya didn't skate hers to 100% post-early season 1992, don't get me wrong. But, Tonya was very, very close to it here with a newfound maturity and nobody expected it because she'd always either been a trainwreck and veered dangerously close to being so. Nancy might have been "on" for the first instance just in time for the Olympics, but I actually think sitting out the US Nationals seriously worked to her advantage. Instead of scrambling to prep, she was able to take her time. Whereas, the press coverage on Tonya at Lillehammer was a huge disadvantage to her as she was closely scrutinized at every practice session by every country that reported the Games -- and she couldn't handle that. I'm actually surprised she skated as well as she did there.

To be fair, Nancy was so much improved and determined after her 93 World's meltdown. But if Nancy Kerrigan wasn't assaulted and was able to compete at the 94 American nationals, there's a very good chance she would have made it a tense and close competition with Tonya Harding there, for the title. However, it must be considered that the ordeal and assault that Kerrigan went through, only made her stronger, focused and made her reach her full potential as was seen at the 94 Olympics in Norway.

What I love here is that her lutz actually improved greatly from the 91 season when she was in top form. More height and even more dynamic than before, plus that deeeeeep outside edge right up to take off. Beyond textbook perfect

Yes, and because of her great technique on the loop, she completed a quad loop off-camera during the filming of her Texaco commercial back in 91.

Tonya skated so beautifully and had such amazing energy when she performed. I think it's such a shame what happened. I don't care what anyone says she did not deserve to be banned. I just don't get it. I think the skating federation already had it out for her, and hated that she was their champion, and it was the perfect excuse to get rid of her. That's just my opinion on the matter

I thought she wasn't going to make the lutz and the triple loop because she starts rotating quite late, of course she always proves me wrong. I don't believe she was involved in Nancy's attack, her jumping ability is way beyond Nancy's league. Too bad that the judges don't always give the power jumpers the credit they deserve
