She seemed to think she ought to get the gold just for showing up, and appeared genuinely shocked that the sympathy vote didn't automatically tip the scales in her favour.

What's with all the ignorant "land every jump on two feet" comments? She doesn't land any that way. I too, remember watching this back in 1994, and it was obvious the moment she came off the ice that she was going to win. This routine had more speed, more variation, and just plain more fun in it than anyone else's. The idea that this isn't artistry because she "danced" and shook up the routine with popular music and some jitter bug is nonsense. She didn't fall, she stuck her triples. She did make one mistake where it looked like she bailed on a triple and turned it into a double. But I really think the overall playfulness and fun of the routine is what won the judges over. I don't understand why people are so bitter towards her. She was great.

Oksana was the best in that competence. Her style of bop and syncopated dancing, the duration of her performance and charisma are unique. I recognize that Sophia Tonya suffered a lot unfairly, and she is a great athlete, I really admire her. But Oksana deservedly won!

So glad to see time has done it's justice. Nancy did great and a very clean performance, well put together, but Oksana is simply a better skater. All the doubts and speculation of Nancy doing better is now a thing of the past.

За 2 дня до выступления, на тренировке, Оксане сильно порезали ногу коньком. Она катается с тремя швами, под сильными обезболивающими. Но улыбается.

The greatest of all time on the 3Lz, 3Lo, 2A, and especially 3S. The enormous height, the toe point in the air, the gorgeous takeoff and landing positions, the lightness of it all. Who else could have a 3S as a highlight. I've watched so many figure skaters over the years and Oksana still has the best solo jump repertoire. I really wish we could've seen a clean flip here though.

Первое Олимпийское Золото Украины!!!!! Браво Оксана Баюл!!!!!

@Jn Zorin ну я бы посоветовала хотя бы глянуть биографию. Так-то хваленый вами СССР немного для неё сделал, материально её государство не поддерживало. Большой вклад сделали тренера. Да и насколько я понимаю, всем было плевать на развитие ФК в других республиках,развивали его большей частью в России.

Her triple lutz at 0:54 has incredible height and so well done. Nancy did a triple lutz that was very good too and much later in her program. As good as the lutz was her triple loop at 1:54 is even more impressive with the height and distance traveled over the ice. Followed by a light and airy very well executed triple salchow at 2:22 is probably what clinched the gold for her. Look at her careful positioning of her free leg just prior to takeoff on that salchow, wow ! (see it in slo-mo at 4:37)

She is just magical!

Что есть техника, когда нет танца, нет искусства, нет гармонии? Это настоящее фигурное катание, каким оно должно быть. Еще раз Браво, Оксана!

@Elena S Так это не фигуристки виноваты, а правила ISU! Сейчас другие требования к программам, нужно выполнить определенное количество прыжков и т.д. А уж если вам совсем тошно смотреть на современное фигурное катание, смотрите в интернете старые соревнования! Благо можно найти выступления и 50-летней давности!

Сначала это сделали с художественной гимнастикой, убрав всю красоту, артистизма, художественную подачу-тупо набор обязательных элементов. .. Теперь с фигурным катанием. Набор элементов.. Потерялась красота, а следовательно интерес людей к этому виду спорта. Вспомните, как мы преподали к экрана телевизоров, когда шла трансляция по фигурному катанию.. Мы знали в лицо каждого фигуристка. А теперь-катание однотипные, только количество оборотов в прыжке разное.. Огромный труд спортсменов и потеря аудитории. Разве что ещё девчонки наши поддерживают интригу. А пары, мужчины-мало кому интересны.

@Lena Леночка даже среди подростков есть прекрасные таланты со зрелым катанием. Косторная, например))

Cette performance - et ce sourire ! Trop d’émotion ! Bouleversant de sincérité. Trop de travail, mais quelle VICTOIRE ! Superbe Oksana ! Brava! Bravissima!

If it wasn't for the 90s hair and the background saying Lillehammer 94, had someone told me this was filmed this year, I would've 100% believed them

Така молодесенька і така трудяга! Дякую тобі що так достойно представила нашу Країну!

She was a teenager back then...she strugled to be there...she went thru some diffucult stuff ...and after watching each program she performed ...you just have to cry and feel happy...there were some many things going on during those moments in that tournament.....a real soap opera....and Oksana just made everything better...what a year!

Angry Figure Skating Fans - they think they're so cultured and erudite. And then they bash an orphan girl who suffered a pretty bad injury during a practice. Even soccer "hooligans" wouldn't stoop to those levels.

I am glad her struggles were remembered. I liked Oksana so much and was happy that Viktor Petrenko was a big brother to her. Thanks for your good words.

Ive watched a lot of skating in my life - this will forever be my favorite performance! Love you Oksana!❤

She is absolutely amazing!

I really love nancy’s performance it’s just ellegant, but for me Oksana’s performance looks more challenging!🔥🔥

フリー前日の練習で怪我したのよね。今でも色褪せない、素晴らしいスケーティング。当時テレビで見てて、バイウルが泣き崩れた時に涙したのをおぼえている。それにしてもキュートだわ。

The '94 Olympics were a peculiar, yet memorable Games all the way around.

this was wonderful but im also in awe of how high quality japans filming was in 1994???

She makes it all look so easy - good job.

Such a fun performance I have watched it several times and never tire of it! :-)

I remember watching skating with my mom when I was a kid and I loved this girl

she deserve the gold medal💞💞💞

Моя ты куколка,она даже не ожидала от себя,что все получится,это же ребенок и такое психологическое напряжение,ну Ксюша,ты молодчина! Что там ни говорите,а для того времени,она супер! Да и сейчас у нее можно поучиться 🌹💖🌹✌🌻

This is such good quality, thank you for posting

she is such a entertainer😍

The speed , the edges , the transitions , she covers the whole ice ,better skating skills and still people are crying on the comments. Effortless axel , higher jumps

Oksana combined dancing so much better than anyone else.

Просто супер!!!

She skated beautifully, so much grace and power

What a brilliant performance from a lovely little lass.God love her!

Сильна дівчинка...зібралась і відкатала і це після серйозної травми ноги....

ПРЕКРАСНАЯ!!! 25 лет назад она действительно лучшая!

You can tell she was having fun.

She skated with her entire heart out on her sleeve for the world to see. Absolutely beautiful!

Какая грациозная и музыкальная Оксана! Артистка на льду.

Оксаночка, мы помним эту победу. Переполняла гордость за нашу страну

я плакала вместе с тобой Оксаночка! и всегда плачу когда смотрю

I've just noticed that not one of the top 4 women that night (Baiul, Kerrigan, Chen, and Bonaly) had a cheated lutz, which is so common nowadays. They all vaulted perfectly using the big toe/ middle toe part of their toepick. And all of them were on a correct outside edge. I wonder why the quality of the jumping was much better back then.
