Forgive me - earlier i did point out Kristi was the Last Lady to win the WC, then the OGM, and then go on to defend her WC as reigning Olympic champion.
That record is actually pretty impressive to me - something which neither Yuna or Mao has done, not to mention Oksana, Tara, Michelle or Shiz, etc.
I believe Peggy Fleming did it and maybe Dorothy too. But not many have been able to win the skating "trifecta." (consecutive WC, OGM and WC)
Not sure if Kati did it either - maybe someone knows?
Interesting question. I looked it up.
Witt, yes in 1988, no in 1984.
Hamill, no.
Fleming, yes.
Also Beatrix Schuba, Sjoukje Dijkstra, Carol Heiss and Barbara Ann Scott. Pretty cool.
I don't think any of them won the World Junior Championship in both singles and pairs in the same year, though.
