Wow, I had forgotten how fantastic Todd Eldredge's 1995 World Championship Freeskate was!! This event was huge for Todd considering he had been out of World competition for three years and hadn't medaled at the Worlds since his appearance in 1991 where he took the bronze as a 19-year-old rookie. At the Worlds in 1995 in Birmingham, England, Todd was in first after the short program and one has to assume, only lost the gold to Canada's Elvis Stojko because of his one missed Triple Axel. How gutsy to throw in another Triple Axel at the very end of the program. This performance gets two thumbs up in my book. I don't care that Todd won the silver, his courageous performance was worth its weight in gold!
Enjoy!
