Re: Question

How interesting Callystarr. Did you notice that for the ladies Only two ( three medals though) have won Olympic gold and that the last three Olympic gold medalists didn't make the list? In ice dancing five of the couples have won Olympic gold and the last six Olympic gold couples made the list?

Re: Question

Claudia Leistner did this @ worlds

4th @ 1982 Worlds
Silver @ 1983 Worlds
6th @ 1985 Worlds
6th @ 1986 Worlds
6th @ 1986 Worlds
6th @ 1987 Worlds
4th @ 1988 Worlds
Silver @ 1989 Worlds

Yes she has only had 2 world medals, but she was one of the top 6 skaters in the world four about 8 years...great longevity and consistency. Thats why.
