    There has been many beautiful and talented Figure Skaters,
    But Oksana, during her prime, was absolutely a very beautiful and mesmerizing Figure Skater. She was just different than all the other Figure Skaters, her movements is just beautiful on the ice. Her 1994 Olympics program is one of the best of all the Olympics figure skating programs, just so mesmerizing. Oksana, yeah she had some personal problems to deal with, But I think Oksana Baiul is one of the best Figure Skaters of all times and definitely one of my favorite Figure Skaters of all times.

    She speaks so poetically! She should look into writing literature, like poetry. For example, I wasn't sure at first why she brought up the "bright lights" at the Olympics. However, when she tied it up w/ the same bright lights she saw in the operating room -- basically saying it was an omen that her life was about to change -- it gave me goosebumps!

      She looked older at the Olympics too probably because she's always had a hard life. However, her eyes are youthful and glowing. Eyes are always a good indicator of age.
