Another 1980 Olympics heartbreaker - Linda Fratianne winning silver, not gold. Well, at least Frank Carroll's heart was broken. As for me, I wasn't watching skating during that time, although I did hear about Tai and Randy and saw on the news the scene of their withdrawal.

A heartbreaker from 2020 Europeans - Kevin Aymoz not qualifying for the free skate.

The ultimate heartbreaker: Corona 'effing' virus stops what would be an epic Worlds 2020.
