- Well...don't look for it to return anytime soon. On yesterday's coverage of
- Skate Canada, it was reported that tonya was leaving out the jump for now and
- concentrating on style. In addition, she's gained weight since the '92
- competition season ended - more weight makes it tougher to get all those
- rotations done.
-
- As for the performance itself, she certainly had her problems. Used the
- "Robin Hood" music we've heard before, but I don't think she completed more
- than one or two triples. And I can't say I was terribly impressed by the
- "style," although it did look as thogh she had put more effort into it than
- I've seen in the past. Alas, I just think her time has passed.
