Here is something I remember from years ago.
It is 17 year old Dorothy Hamill getting hysterical before she had to skate her LP at 1974 Worlds.
The announcer will try and tell you that Dorothy was upset because as she was warming up the marks for the hometown German girl came up and the crowd thought they were too low. Dorothy thought the crowd was booing her and immediately went into Princess mode and had to leave the ice.
Of course what really happened was that her coach, Carlo Fassi told Dorothy that he tried hard - but could only arrange the Silver medal for her. And that is why Dorothy lost control.
But she actually recovered quickly enough and skated a good program.
Check out her delayed 1A. I miss that jump and Dorothy had a great one. :yes:

Any other tearful programs appreciated, with the link and the story behind it.
