The program from what I saw was done very well. For the record, Kristi was wearing a pink dress (she later wore that same one to the Worlds in 1992) with a lot of sequins on it. In the video, it showed her doing two triple-triple combos, but perhaps she had even more.
Kristi�s artistry was exceptional! Artistry speaks for itself: despite Tonya Harding having a clean Triple Axel, Kristi still won! And just one month earlier, Kristi was crushed at the fact that she didn�t win Nationals.
At the 1991 Nationals, Kristi skated her "Samson and Delilah" program for the first time in front of a nine American judges. She was very frustrated with how she skated, because she skated it cautiously. Not only that, but the judges didn�t like the program, since they thought it was slow.
Although Kristi considered creating a new program with less than a month
for Worlds, she decided to stick with it. She skated beautifully in Munich
and won. As soon as Kristi saw her scores, she couldn�t believe it.
Her face was in total shock, and her eyes started welling up with tears.
She couldn�t contain herself, since she was so happy, and overwhelmed.
That became one of Kristi�s best programs ever!
List of some of the elements included in this program: [*Note: My
video tape does not show this routine in it�s entirety, but highlights
of the program, so this is just a mini-review, I guess. :-) Once again, if
I made an error classifying a jump, please excuse me!]
