It's time to remember great performances that happened in the OG.
Here's a list of 10 olympic performances that in my opinion were remarkable:
Alexei Yagudin - Salt Lake City - 2002
His LP was so amazing that the judges rewarded him with the highest score ever for a single skater in the history of the winter OG. Yagudin won the gold medal in a categorical way!
Tara Lipinski - Nagano - 1998
The youngest olympic champion ever. Lipinski won the gold in Nagano creating a major upset cause she relegated Michelle Kwan (the favorite) to second place. This performance is so inspiring cause it looks like Tara was having the time of her life!
Klimova & Ponomarenko - Albertville - 1992
This russian pair had already got a bronze in 1984 and a silver in 1988. The Albertville OG were their crowning moment. In my opinion this FD in one of the most beautiful performances ever in ice-dance.
Kim Yuna - Vancouver - 2010
Simply spectacular. The korean phenom dominated the ladies event in Vancouver.
Virtue & Moir - Vancouver - 2010
This FD isn't just about sport but also about art.
Mishkutenok & Dmitriev - Lillehammer - 1994
Unforgettable russian pair skaters. This was quite a FP but in the judges opinion it was only good enough for silver. I humbly disagree.
Berezhnaya & Sikharulidze - Salt Lake City - 2002
This isn't just the greatest SP of their career. It's one of the best SP ever in pairs skating!
Torvill & Dean - Sarajevo - 1984
Innovative. Creative. Perfect. Torvill & Dean at their best.
Katarina Witt - Calgary - 1988
The art of command by Katarina Witt. So much charisma! This was her second gold medal in the winter olympics.
Ilia Kulik - Nagano - 1998
Such effortless jumps that we can all forgive him the yellow shirt :p
I love Yagudin on the Olimpics, I still get goose bumps :)
