In fact, in women's competition, has anyone besides Michelle gotten a 6.0 at a World Championship since 1996
I'm pretty sure that Irina got at least one in 02.

Jaana said:Well, according to the Blades On Ice magazine Yagudin´s Olympic 6,0´s were a gift. Besides he was the last to skate. His performance in Worlds was excellent, but in my opinion his Olympic performance was not brilliant, it was hesitant and he was playing it safe. And that showed very clearly.

That's what I thought too Nan, how could anyone with semi good vision say that skate was playing it safe? I have never thought the skate at Worlds was better. I have watched that Olympic performance many, many times.NansXOXOX said:I don't think any program from any skater that includes one quad done alone and a 4-3-2 could be seen as "playing it safe."

My whole point was that Yagudin has so many credits to his name as it is, that there is no need to start making things up just to make him look good.
The quote clearly made it seem like he was the only skater to win Euros, Olys and worlds in the same season, and it's simply not true.
If they meant GPF, Olys and worlds, well then Kulik was his only competition and the guy didn't go to worlds, so it's not like Yagudin suceeded at something Kulik failed at.
RI-skatingfan, don't you get the logic here? Yagudin won all this titles just because Kulik (or skater X, fill the form!) didn't participate, was injured, not in shape, messed up his SP, had a bad day, or maybe only because ice is slippery.RIskatingfan said:GPF + Olympics + potentially worlds are not the same than GPF + Olympics + Worlds + Europeans. That's why, correctly, Yagudin is labelled as the only one to have won the 4 major titles of the season and certainly deserves credit for it.
Honestly, I find it rather funny how certain posters try to belittle any of Yagudin's achievements, because they obviously cannot bear the thought of him surpassing their idols in so many ways. Or, even worse, had the audacity to take away one important job at SOI from one of those particular idols.

Yagudin´s win of Quadruple Crown is of course right.
Why not?
