STAR ON ICE FROM UKRAINE Oksana Baiul, a 15 year-old marvel on ice skates, is Ukraine’s newest and youngest star to capture global attention as a Gold Medal winner at the World Champion ship competition in Prague this winter. Presently, she is the youngest World Champion since Sonja Henie in 1927. Accolades such as “phenomenal,” and “superb” are but a few that are placed at the doorstep of the unusual talent of this tiny yet vivacious young lady. She is an expert and a whiz on skates and her performance at the competition in Prague was called “triumphant” while her personality charmed the audiences. Oksana Baiul lives in Odessa, is an orphan and began skating at the age of four. Her father had died before her fourth birthday and her mother died in 1990 from cancer. Oksana trains with Galina Zmievskaya, who coached Viktor Petrenko on to Olympic glory. It is interesting to note that the Prague competition was only Oksana’s third. Previously she had won the Ukrainian National Championship and placed second at the European Championship earlier this year. Oksana is called the best female skater in the world today and her participation in the world’s most popular winter sport assures its popularity for the future. During this summer, however Oksana will make her American debut as a member of the cast of Campbell’s Soups 1993 Tour of World Figure Skating Champtions. She joins such world champions as Torvill and Dean Brian Boitano and many others in a 43-city American tour from April through June. 26 ’’НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛИПЕНЬ-СЕРПЕНЬ 1993 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
