1992 Worlds Gala of Champions (CBC) from Oakland, California

Summary: The 1992 World Figure Skating Championships conclude with the Gala of Champions from the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena in Oakland, California. The gala features a remarkable cross-section of the 1992 field, including Josée Chouinard, Mark Mitchell, Laëtitia Hubert, Stefania Calegari & Pasquale Camerlengo, Isabelle Brasseur & Lloyd Eisler, Elvis Stojko, Chen Lu, Nancy Kerrigan, Radka Kovaříková & René Novotný, Kurt Browning and Oksana Grishuk & Evgeni Platov. Browning, the three-time defending World Champion, performs to enthusiastic reception and even returns for an unscheduled encore. The closing portions belongs to the new World Champions: Natalia Mishkutenok & Artur Dmitriev, Kristi Yamaguchi, Marina Klimova & Sergei Ponomarenko, and Viktor Petrenko. Mishkutenok & Dmitriev and Klimova & Ponomarenko skate in their final appearances (at the time) as eligible competitors, while hometown favourite Yamaguchi celebrates her second consecutive World title only hours after winning the women’s free skate. The evening closes with Petrenko, newly crowned World and Olympic champion, bringing the “Parade of Champions” to an end after a memorable 1991–92 season. --- VHS60fps, Canadian coverage (commentators: Chris Cuthbert, Barb Underhill, Paul Martini).
