Source material for Hanyu's Tribute to Maria Butyrskaya program.
I always liked Maria’s very ladylike sit spins. Of course one time Tinami against her and her “Victorian” like skating once so YMMV.
From march of 1999 to march of 2000 Maria reached the peak in her career, then it went downhill, think she should have retired after Nice

The blue pillow in the KnC is mine, I threw it!
You’re probably right, but that 2001 Worlds (2000 NHK) performance of 17 Moments of Spring were also career highlights for her even if the results weren’t the best for her.
Rechnio! Sigh..... I knew they would never give her that medal, no matter how well she skated. The judges showed that already in the SP
And she does have the 2002 Europeans title, and at 29 I don't see that ever being broken.
Rechnio would have been such a poster girl for TTW back in the days
She's a regular Cassandra!I think Tinami predicted Trusova is going to win 2034 Europeans and break the record.

Believe me, I keep trying so hard for that!Maybe an honorary cart should be named after her.
I've been screaming Vanessa was robbed for 21 years.....
And this was her last ever decent program in competition. Everything the next few seasons was an absolute disaster.
That's my only consolation. She kept being robbed the next season too.But she got lucky with that weird three way split with judges in 1997 and came away with the bronze.
