Sorry, correction! I have no idea what happend at US Nationals, but I know for sure Petrenko became 1st at European Championships before, an amateur comp!Vash01 said:Realtorgal,
You made an intereseting point- Boitano, Petrenko, Browning may have been more hype than substance. IMO particularly Boitano and Petrenko since they had not competed in the amateur comp since their Olympic gold medals.

Prior to SLC, I was convinced that either Michelle or Irina would win, and I couldn't really fathom someone else beating them. I remember when I was watching it - when they announced that Sarah was the winner, I just stared gobsmacked at the screen, lol. I voted for Oksana Baiul in 93 though - it was her first ever Worlds! Even though she'd won silver at Euros (right?), I imagine nobody was expecting her to win the World title.
