"Who won the 1st & only Women's Oly medal for the USSR? Well, tough question. I think they ask for Oksana Baiul in 1994 but I'd say she didn't compete for the USSR but started under an international flag."

1) Kira Ivanova won the bronze in 1984, that is the correct answer I believe.
2) Irina won the silver in 2002, making her the second and last. The question was probably written before SLC.
3) Oksana skated for the Ukrain as did Patrenko in 94. Maybe you were thinking of Patrenko in 92 who won Gold under the heading of "United Team".

Re: Trivia

69 Novice champ was Dotty Hamill, which would have made her 12.

Colledge debuted in London maybe.

Luddington coached the Seybolds and Watson&Oppegrad maybe.

Re: Trivia

Hi, all.

Just wanted to let you know that I'll be posting the current standings and new questions on the new forum. As I mentioned before, i'll try to post around 11PM on Sunday EST.

BTW, I'm just posting questions from a trivia game I purchased on Ebay. It is definitely North American based. I've actually eliminated some of the questions because they are duplicates (one card had the same question stated 3 different ways.)

Also wanted to mention that I'm pretty impressed with everyone's knowledge.
