[Germanice]

Witt, Baiul, Chen!

Anke

First choice -- Elizabeth Manley, because I first saw her at the 82 Worlds and thought this girl is good and should not be in 23rd place after the SP, so 6 years later when she won the silver in Calgary I considered it to be one of my better early-career "scouting" acheivements.

Second -- Chen Lu. Ever graceful, always a joy to watch, and her bronze showing in Nagano coming off a disaster of a Worlds the previous season was for me one of the best Olympic skating moments ever.

Third -- Midori Ito, just edging out Roz Sumners. Just because she's Midori Ito.

I picked Katerina Witt, Oksana Baiul, and Other.

For Other, I'm kind of leaning between Irina Slutskaya, Lulu Chen, and Debi Thomas.

 

[new_europe2006]

Michelle, Nancy, and Dorothy

They're both wonderful elegant skaters and it doesn't mean I don't like any of the other medallists on or off the list.
