Berthes - You got them all except for 1920: Magda Julin Mauroy - Sweden (Herma Planck Szabo - Austria was 1924)/

Patsue - Good year to mentiion. I had to look it up. Here's the link for the quick references.

I think the remembering will be based on the activity of the skater after the Oly gold and how much publicity the skater will get. Sonia and Dick had the Newsreels; Peggy had the TV, and of course there is always the American glitz. Sarah will be mentioned for the next 4 years. But after that?

Tara is slipping by the wayside; Oksana pops up every once in awhile, and without Kat's TV show, well, she'll be joining the has beens in due course. Tonya and Nancy will always be remembered and they are not Oly gold

C'est la vie!

IT'S QUIZ TIME.........

Without looking them up do you know which lady figure skater won the following Olympics"?

1920

1952

1964

1980

2002

If you do then, I believe, those ladies will always be remembered.

That's easy, Joe:

1920 - Sonja Henie
1952 - Carol Heiss (Tenley Albright got silver)
1964 - Peggy Fleming
1980 - Katarina Witt (the first of her 4 Olympic gold medals)
2002 - Michelle Kwan
