First choice -- Elizabeth Manley, because I first saw her at the 82 Worlds and thought this girl is good and should not be in 23rd place after the SP, so 6 years later when she won the silver in Calgary I considered it to be one of my better early-career "scouting" acheivements.

Second -- Chen Lu. Ever graceful, always a joy to watch, and her bronze showing in Nagano coming off a disaster of a Worlds the previous season was for me one of the best Olympic skating moments ever.

Third -- Midori Ito, just edging out Roz Sumners. Just because she's Midori Ito.

I picked Katerina Witt, Oksana Baiul, and Other.

For Other, I'm kind of leaning between Irina Slutskaya, Lulu Chen, and Debi Thomas.

Michelle, Nancy, and Dorothy

They're both wonderful elegant skaters and it doesn't mean I don't like any of the other medallists on or off the list.

My all-time female favorite is Gabrielle Seyfert, closely followed by Katarina Witt! Picking no. 3 is more difficult - Kristi, Oksana, Peggy, Janet Lynn...........
