While we're on the subject of past Olympic competitions, can anyone shed any light on the pairs competition at Lillehammer 94? I believe it was the first Olympics where there were two past Olympic champions in the same competition. I just rewatched Dmitriev & Mishkutienok's LP (skated to Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No.2) and I remember being absolutely mesmerized by that performance. I know D&M eventually finished second to Gordeeva & Grinkov, but didn't he make a mistake (IIRC Grinkov singled a double axel) in their "Moonlight Sonata" LP? I looked at D&M's marks again, and I noticed that they were not as high as I would have thought they would be. Did D&M make any mistakes in their LP? They only received 7 1st place ordinals and 2 2nd place ordinals (I think two judges put them behind Eissler & Brasseur) with G&G still to skate.
