[PlaysInTheDirt]

I'm older than dirt, so some of you may not recognize these names.

John Curry 1976 Innsbruck (pick one - he was amazing - but my favorite was the Exhibition)
Robin Cousins 1980 Lake Placid SP
Belousova and Protopopov 1984 Ave Maria (simple but elegant - garnering perfect scores from all judges and they were 48 and 51 at the time!)
Torvill & Dean 1984 Bolero
Brian Boitano 1988 Calgary
Torvill & Dean 1994 Rhumba
G/G Moonlight Sonata 1994 Lillehammer
Kurt Browning - Singin' in the Rain
Evan Lysacek 2009 Worlds Rhapsody in Blue
Davis & White 2014 Scheherazade


Despite not being on the list we were big Elvis Stojko fans in my house. When my older son was in first grade they had a school project and had to write a letter to a child as though they were an elf - and they had to come up with a name other than their own. He chose Elf Elvis. The teacher asked, "Oh, you named him after Elvis Presley?" He said, "No, Elvis Stojko." He came home and told me the story and asked me who Elvis Presley was....lol. Then he handed me a note from his teacher. "Dear Mrs. Xxxxxx, I just have to ask - who is Elvis Toyko?" My son is in his 20's now and we still laugh about that.
