K/P’s program imo had so much more content than the other two medalists and that in of itself should have given them the win here.
Thanks. I was watching skating back then but ice dance was not something I understood much about - I just thought these types of programs were "cool" and so much more fun to watch the ones with stale old-style dancing or the ones with all the Russian angst and pulling of faces. Now thanks to the IJS I at least have a rudimentary understanding of relative difficulty and think most of these old programs belong in an ice show, not a competition, lol. Getting old I guess.Dance holds in the FD were sort of dying thanks to the likes of the Duchesnays as more stage dancing styles were being used as opposed to ballroom. That’s why the ISU forced ice dance to go old school and boring after 1992z
I think I would have U/Z first and K/P 2ndK/P’s program imo had so much more content than the other two medalists and that in of itself should have given them the win here.
I'm rather surprised the Canadian commentators aren't more pro-Duchesnay here, based on their other commentary.

I agree except I would have Rahkamo and Kokko above all of them!The correct standings:
1. Petr/Janoschak
2. Usova
3. Punsalan/Swallow
We were robbed of Rahkamo/KokkoI agree except I would have Rahkamo and Kokko above all of them!
Chouinard's music makes me think of this classic from The Simpsons.
I still cringe thinking of their horrific Beatles medley costumes at the 88 Olympics in Calgary.It’s hard to deny. IMO, this was a transitional program since before this, they were known for classical, lighthearted dances taking advantage of their quick feet, intricacy, and their romantic relationship.
