No. You saw power. Harding could land a 3A and dunk a basketball. Look at how high she's in the air.

Peggy Fleming has always been a class act, whereas Sonja Harding, it’s like having Sandra Bullock standing next to Lindsay Lohan, a contrast in styles.

Yes, thanks for saying it. “Lack of grace”, I was trying to put Hardings skating into words.

She was graceful and beautiful. It was at the end of the era of women in women's sports, and the beginning of the "girl" age in women's sports.

Anyway, I lost interest in the Olympics after the Cold War ended. I don't know why I was interested in the first place. I think the media hype affected me.
