i’m with tigerlille and jojo. anyone who can overcome what she has had to overcome gets a pass from me. i hope she has been able to resolve her substance abuse issues. if i was forced to literally live in an ice skating rink during my childhood after being orphaned and having no other place to go, i’d be concerned about my money too. just saying.

Maybe the camera’s flash did that?
But what’s up with you guys? What did she ever do to incur anyone’s wrath? She was orphaned young and was under tons of pressure to win a medal. Then she had difficulties with alcohol… Give her a break. She’s really gorgeous, despite the over-peroxided hair.

Oksana has had an alcohol problem for years. Why is the top part of her face sun burned and the bottom part is not? Can Botox do that?

I will turn the other cheek here……anyone who could stone cold skate past Nancy Kerrigan when the pre-sponsor/pro Olympics were a true test….I don’t like skating and know little about it, however, I remember sitting there with my wife saying – I believe she just beat her in this thing…..it’s been downhill from there but anything to watch Nancy pout, scowl, act out…….priceless…..she gets a pass here.

Eastern block chicks are hard, cold hearted, extremely self absorbed, ruthless, and have a thirst for money. Just personal observation and I have friends who dated them.

I am not really sure where Donkey Punch’s reference to the “typical cold eastern block chick” comes from, but I can tell you that the young athletes from these countries are under extreme pressure from their governments to deliver and win. International athletic success is one of the few ways out for these athletes and their families. “Money is all that she cares about?” Acquaint yourself with her history and the living conditions where she comes from, and then maybe you won’t be so quick to judge.

I think that Oksana is one of the great figure skaters of all time. Her artistry and grace are unparalled. Unfortunately she had a very short career. After she won her gold medal at age 16, she grew six inches (improved nutrition probably contributed), and she was never able to completely adjust to her new body size – she never regained her ability to jump, and in figure skating now, difficult jumps are essential.

I don’t see any big change in her appearance – beautiful eyes, and a mega-watt smile, and an extraordinary lithe body. We all age, and she has actually had quite a hard life.

Sad really. She is completely unrecognizable.
