Good question. I looked it up, LOL.Mafke said:Okay, no one else has asked the big question that's been burning in my mind.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT HENIE WON _ONLY_ 7 (SEVEN) EUROPEAN TITLES?????
Did she not compete, was she beaten a couple of times? Was Europeans not a big deal back then? I though she had ten or so World titles? Why so few Europeans?
Sonja Henie won ten World Championships from 1927 to 1936, when she retired from amateur competition.
The first Europeans for women and pairs was held in 1930. Henie did not participate (I don't know why.) She entered and won the next 6, 1931-1936.
