I believe that Rodnina won three Olympic gold medals with two different partners (one with Ulanov and two with Zaitsev).

And now for the question:

Which current skaters are competing in the discipline of their mother, who won multiple world championships?

Now i'm not sure but you might be referring to the Towler-Green sisters in the UK: Candi and Pippa who both compete in Ice-dance (train at Streatham i believe). I know Diane Towler Green was a successful ice dancer but i can't remember if she won multiple world championships...

I've just looked it up and the Towler-Green Sisters definitely fit the bill since mother Diane skated with Bernard Ford to win the world championships 4 times from 1966-1969.

Another bit of trivia that i was surprised at too - Britain swept the podium in 1968 in ice dance!

This is great, I am learning so much - relatively useless information - trivia, but fun and sometimes it can be insightful via the thoughts it provokes my to research after learning the fact.

I wish the Answer and then a new Question thing kept going though. My questions arn't really that good - so it is kinda a good thing i donn't know many of the answers :yes:

What year was the Katarina Witt rule instated? - yah that was the best to come to mind right now.

Now back to making candy - joy!

Alice Sue Claeys?

I was thinking this also, remember seeing the name, but wasn't sure if she was actually American.
