Thanks Mathman! The 1992 Olympics was the first time I remember watching figure skating. I still have the Weekly Reader with Kristi on the cover that we got in 2nd grade during those Olympics. All of that spring I roller skated around our basement pretending I was competing on ice. My brother and I even had a mock medal ceremony complete with us singing the national anthem!
