DG if you do that I promise to show up in a Tosca Red dress and hurl myself from the balcony if any bad judging occurs..

DG, thanks. You had to say that didn't you? Now I have to go sit on the floor and dump my purse(S) and re-organize everything.

Didn't Sale & Pelletier defeat B&S for the World Title?

yup 2001... they were going into the Olys as reigning world champs /

 

[RealtorGal]

Does anyone know who has won national and World titles by defeating the reigning champ? How often has this happened?

I think that Roz Sumners defeated reigning National and World Champ Elayne Zayak.

Elaine withdrew from 83 worlds with injury. I don't consider that a "defeat". Roz did defeat Elaine at 82 nats, where Elaine took bronze.
