The controversial ladies event at the 1994 Olympics usually receives most of the attention, but I thought a look back at/discussion of the men's event might yield interesting results. As everyone probably knows, the three favorites (Browning, Petrenko, and Boitano) all made major mistakes in the SP and were 12th, 9th, and 8th respectively heading into the LP. Three relative newcomers (Urmanov, Stojko, and Candeloro) battled it out in the final for the medals. The lyrical Russian, Urmanov, scored a somewhat controversial (in some circles) victory over the more athletic Stojko. Who do you believe should have won the 1994 Olympic Gold medal in the men's division? Why?
Note: I did not include Browning, Petrenko, or Boitano as options because they were basically out of gold medal contention after the SP. I included an other option if anyone would like to frame an argument for any of these skaters.
