Sandy was also a competitive pairs skater in Canada... Scott Hamilton is just some punk who won four world titles and an olympic championship in the 80s.
:chorus:
Are Scott and Sandra skating people? (Is he Scott Hamilton? I do not know any Sandra though, sorry). If so, it totally makes sense for them to be realistic.
But more generic media people and their interviews with Sasha wanted to make a big story and I do not know if Sasha had ever come out like that.
Sandra was a Canadian Pairs Skater and often choreographs for ice shows and many skaters. She choreographed I believe 1992 Olympic Ladies Figure Skating Champion Kristi Yamaguchi's routines for those Winter Games. I'm not sure but I think she also choreographed 1988 Olympic Men's Champion Brian Boitano's routines for his Games as well.
Scott Hamilton is the 1984 Olympic Men's Figure Skating Champion.
Excuse me while I go get my geritol-the old bones are creaking again..
