Ito handled the pressure in both 1989 and 1990, when she was in contention. She won more Grand Prix events than anyone else during her competitive time period as well.
Saying she failed because of pressure in 1991 is nonsense. Laetitia Hubert SLAMMED into Ito right before the SP, likely cracking a rib or two and cutting her foot. She was clearly injured and yet she went out and delivered a great program...with the exception of running out of room on her combination jump and literally falling out of the rink. LOL. It's hardly a surprise that after incurring all these injuries she wouldn't be capable of delivering in the LP.
As for everyone else, *shrug*. There is always pressure.
I agree. I thought it was amazing that she was able to hop right back up and continue on as if nothing happened! What an athlete!!!
