Correct. Which proves my feeling that if I ask a question it will surely be rather easy.... ))

Go ahead and ask another if you like, I don't have one! :lol:

"8. Who's sister paired with him to win a Oly silver?
Peter Carruthers (with his sister Caitlin/Kitty)"

Nope.

"11. Who's sister recently left him to retire?

Yup.

"13. Who coached her daughter to world gold and Oly silver?
Jutta Müller (her daughter Gabi Seyfert)"

Yup.

"Another question for Sister Act:

Did Karen Kwan marry Peter Opelgard, or are they still engaged?

Re: Trivial FS Pursuit

I just took the dog for a walk, and was listening to one of my old CDs, the oddly named "Figure Skating's Greatest Hits". I guess it was just an excuse to throw together a compilation of popular classical peices. Anyway, each piece is identified with a famous skater, sort of a tradmark program thing. Can anyone guess the correct skaters:

1. The Sleeping Beauty
2. Scheherazade
3. Carmen
4. The Four Seasons
5. "Pathetique" Sonata
6. Tales from the Vienna Woods Waltz
7. The Planets
8. Swan Lake
9. Swan Lake again
10. The Firebird

Huh?? Well you might have someone else in mind, but at least the Carruthers won Olympic silver in 1984...

But perhaps you mean the Duchesnay's in 1992?

 

[tdnuva]

Re: Trivial FS Pursuit

Perhaps the answers depend a lot to my age... ;-)

2. Scheherazade - John Curry
3. Carmen - Katarina Witt
7. The Planets - Torvill & Dean (and yes, I know the Duchesnays did it, too...)

Re: Trivial FS Pursuit

"Huh?? Well you might have someone else in mind, but at least the Carruthers won Olympic silver in 1984..."

Peter Caruthers is not the answer to #8 for a slight technical problem that is somewhat tongue in cheek.

"But perhaps you mean the Duchesnay's in 1992?"

I didn't even think of Paul, but I suppose that he could be correct as being "paired" with his sister. Bully for you!

"2. Scheherazade - John Curry"

Yup.

"3. Carmen - Katarina Witt"

Nope

"7. The Planets - Torvill & Dean (and yes, I know the Duchesnays did it, too..."

Nope

Mind you, the match ups were done by the record company, not me. I'm sure that Carmen could have a dozen answers. :lol: I think that most of the selections were based on famous Oly programs, if that's any help.

Re: Trivial FS Pursuit

9. Who's "sister" paired with him to win a Oly silver?
Peter Carruthers (with his sister Caitlin/Kitty)


Ok. I changed the number of the question (if it's not 8, then 9 I guess)...

But I'm still eager to learn the story behind the ""s. (I thought they're really siblings.)

Re: Trivial FS Pursuit

1. Who's sister won a silver medal at nats, the same year he/she won gold?

Carol Heiss?

3. Who's brother married another OGM, and was an OGM herself/himself?

Katarina Witt?

4. Who's sister won nat's pairs the same year he/she won singles?

Laurence Owen

BTW, by "nats" in the questions that contain that, do you mean U.S. Nationals, or would you accept answers from other countries?

 

[berthes ghost]

Re: Trivial FS Pursuit

SammyJ you must have the same CD, nobody could have guessed those all so perfectly right. :lol:

EllenK, I did mean US nats. Heiss and Owen are correct, but Witt is not the answer to #3. It's all in the details. :lol:

Music

Is it ok to ask questions where I don't know the answers?? )

As I have been learning to identify the jumps lately, I'm still at the beginning to identify music (means music I never did myself, I'm singing, so those instrumentals can be reaaaally hard for me).

Olympic gold winning programs:
1968 Protopopovs
1976 Dorothy Hamill
1980 Robin Cousins
1984 Scott Hamilton
1988 Brian Boitano (and Brian Orser would be nice to know, too)
1992 Klimova & Ponomarenko
1994 Baiul
1998 Grishuk & Platov - please with composer ;-)
2002 Lobacheva & Averbukh (ok, only silver but gold at worlds, but here the answer is widely disputable)

Any input is welcome. )))

Re: Trivial FS Pursuit

2. Who's brother married another OGM?
David Jenkins (but this is also the answer to 3, so may not be
what you meant.) This is the one that is Kat Witt as her brother married Anett Poetzch (spelling?)
3. Who's brother married another OGM, and was an OGM herself/himself? David Jenkins.
Hayes Alan Jenkins married Carol Heiss. Quite the family gold
collection.

5. Who's sister helped coach him/her to a world medal?
Rudi Galindo

7. Who's sister isn't really his/her sister? Peter Carruthers
(they are both adopted)

9. Who's "sister" paired with him to win an Oly silver?
Peter Carruthers

10. Who's sister left him for another?
Johnny Stiegler

Means Witt's brother (never knew she had one I'm afraid) married whom?

Re: Trivial FS Pursuit

Another question:

Debi Thomas got a vanity license plate in 1987.
What did she have put on it?

dpp

 

[DORISPULASKI]

Re: Trivial FS Pursuit

tdnuva,
Witt's brother married Anett Poetzsch.

Also, cheating on 8, (I looked it up) was the brother and sister silver medallists you wanted at Olys

Karol and Michael Kennedy?

They came up earlier as a wrong answer for earliest brother/sister winners.
