Not all the time! Once in response to Peggy being nice to a skater with an unfortunate layback position, Dick proposed marriage ....

And one time, at the 1980 US Nationals he said the following when Elaine Zayak was skating .... "Compare this layback spin to the one you performed Peggy .... there is no comparison ...."

Another time about Peggy in a documentary he said, "Peggy Fleming was unique in that while she was a master at figures, she also was able to combine athleticism and artistry that was unparalleled ..."

That's why I said in later years and during his commentary - not counting interviews/documentaries when it's not as much of a heat of the moment thing.

Thanks. Clearly I got the two competitions mixed up in my mind. Not the first time that has happened!
