Now, her music : a part of Swan Lake and Unknown piece by Tchaikovsky and Minkus's Paquita. And she changes her program every time she does it.

I think Surya may be at a crossroad in her career. (This is spent) a very rough year for her, but sure always have a style like no one else. Opening double axel, double axel : that's not on her list ! But that's very typical of Surya. (Good spirit, here).

Look at this : triple lutz. 

(1:40) This part, I love where she runs forward, But (she used too the other routines)

Ah that's unfortunate. 

She has been landing quad salchows in the practice, I think that was an attempt at the quad.

Yes it was but it just never got off the ice. The back inside edge is a very traitorous one. 

(On) seventh place after the short program, I'm sure she feels like she has nothing to lose, going into the free skate.

That's right Terry.

Now Peggy, you mentionned how Surya Bonaly changes her program. How difficult (is that mentally the approach when you know you have changed) ? 

Well, I personally think it's very difficult because you just don't focus as well as if you trained on the exact same program, night after night after night in practice. I think it's very difficult, but everyone's different. 

Beautiful spiral position. 

(4:40) travelling camels. (a earlier successful ...) back illusion as Tara Lipinski did earlier in the program. 

Well, a disappointed year and I think a disappointed world championship for Surya Bonaly. The eight time French national champion, for the last three years, she has finished second in the world.

And Tonia Kwiatkowski looks on from backstage :  still the leader at this point. 

We're back in Edmonton Coliseum and the one thing that's true in skating : you must replace (you ...) Look at this chunk out of the ice after Surya Bonaly's performance. And it didn't last (one).

Well, that shows that  it's a pretty awful step. Look at those legs, right? But did you see her foot go over? 

Gave an uninspired and unimaginative program, I'm sorry to say, she's always so good. 

But it was a tough program.
