You're half right =) Now on to the other similar podium =)

I'm thinking the other would have to be Lillehammer

Gold - Gritshuk & Platov (1st OMG)
Silver- Usova & Zhulin (Russians, weird costumes; tho that hardly narrows much down... )
Bronze - Torvill & Dean

1994 Worlds
1. Baiul
2. Bonaly
3. Chen

I'm going out on a limb here for this one LOL...since it was before my time (I was three months old! LOL)

1981 Worlds
1. Biellmann (her only world medal)
2. Zayak (Zayak rule)
3. Kristofics-Binder (she won bronze again in 82)

I thought of 1994 when Yuka Sato won, but the bronze medalist there was a one-time bronze medalist.

Andy and thingcalledlove:

You're both correct! (Well, except for the typo, thingcalledlove )

 

[icenut84]

Gold-14 letters in their name
Silver-competed in more than eight Worlds
Bronze-Russian

I got one!!!

Gold - 14 letters in their name = Julia Sebestyen
Silver - competed in more than eight Worlds = Elena Liashenko
Bronze - Russian = Elena Sokolova

= 2004 Europeans! Am I right? (Not sure about the other podium though, will have a think)

 

[icenut84]

I thought of a new parellel podium (Should be tricky, lol)

Gold - turned a standard move into their trademark
Silver - won two Olympic medals
Bronze - from a former Soviet nation, and performs moves requiring back flexibility

Wow, Jonny! You rock! Btw- you're a rollerskater, right?

 

[JonnyCoop]

Rollerskater? Me? With my sense of balance and WAY off center of gravity? I'd have a perpetually bandaged head!!

I think Worlds 1996...
GOLD: Michelle Kwan (Spiral)
SILVER: Chen Lu (won Bronze in 1994 and 1998)
BRONZE: Irina Slutzskaya (Belliman Spin)


Yes? No?
