I did like the short despite the two-footed landing. I will have to compare it to Ashley's Black Swan program.
Just watched it. Ashley needed a headpiece, like Oksana's. Oksana could surely bring the drama!

Oksana had bigger jumps, better spins, stronger footwork, more speed.
I had never seen either of their programs from that event , so I watched them today and I think that Nancy was far above Oksana technically but Oksana had better programs. However, Oksana's two-foots drove me crazy (say what you will about IJS, but at least it attempted to get rid of THAT), so I'll hand it to Nancy.
Why all the controversy over Vera Wang costume? The way people talk, they act like she should have lost points for it. Wang used to be a figure skater, and a lot of successful skaters wear expensive costumes and don't get criticized like Nancy did. And her costumes were elegant. Seems kind of petty.
Whenever this discussion comes up, I think It's too bad that most people have completely forgotten about the Bronze Medalist and future World Champion...Lu Chen.

I don't get the flack over Nancy's costumes at all. IMO, they were the best thing about her at the Olympics in 94'.
Yes, folks Vera Wang had some lovely designs but fortunately there is more to skating than a designer dress. I mean now Christian Laboutin the soe guy is desinging dresses for Gracie - and like Gracie overrated
But it is kind of sad to see a woman in a thirteen thousand dollar dress against the orphan waif...
Oh.......This subject. :disapp: Nancy was NOT robbed. Nancy was a lovely gal. However, she couldn't have chosen worse music or choreography. Her costumes were beautiful, She was beautiful. Unfortunately, I could have done a better job with her choreography in my sleep. Nancy was great in 1994 but, she was placed exactly where she belonged. In second.
Not being a fan of either skater I wish Nancy'd won purely because of all that happened in Oksana's life in the aftermath. Oksana was not ready to be Olympic Champion it literally ruined her life. A silver medal would have been a major success for her and the motivation to develop further.
