Figure skating association game

Wow! I never knew that Denise & Rudi (is it Rudy or Rudi?) skated to Mambo #5. I wonder if he did that in the days of the winter COI tour. We attended COI - summer tour from 1988 until its final year.

Gail, it was the winter tour. Check about 6 or so down on the list. http://cgi.superstation.com/sports/skating/champs_on_ice/html/program.html

Back to the game - Mambo Italiano (Caryn Kadavy did this in Brian Boitano's Skating Romance #3 show - July 1997 - Atlantic City, NJ

Dee, thanks for that link! Sounds like it was quite a winter tour! I do remember the days TBS would broadcast lots of it.

Caryn coming down with the flu @ the 1988 Calgary Olympics (and having to withdraw before the free skate )

Jessica Dube's injury (very close to her eye) @ 4CC (not sure what year)

 

[Dee4707]

Gail, I think it was 2007 for Jessica's injury

Skate America 2004 - Tatiana Totmianina and Maxim Marinin were in first place and last to take the ice for the free skate. During a lift, the team lost their balance and took a terrifying fall to the ice in which Totmianina landed head first.

Thanks, Dee.

Paul Binebose's injury

Gee, this thread is sad for right now.

Marie-France Dubreuil & Patrice Lauzon had to withdraw from the 2006 Winter Olympics after she suffered an injury from a fall during a lift attempt at the end of a program that required Lauzon to carry her off the ice afterward.
