I would still like to know when Brian Orser landed the first triple axel combination in competition. I have been through his book and can't find him mentioning a triple axel combination early in his career -- he mentions Fadeev doing a triple axel-double toe loop at 1984 NHK, but nothing about himself doing one, and I've seen Boitano's triple axel combination at 1982 U.S. Nationals. I'm really curious to know how much earlier than that Orser landed the first triple axel combination in competition. (Vern Taylor was the Canadian who landed the first triple axel in competition, at 1978 worlds, and as mentioned, I think, Donald Jackson, another Canadian, landed the first triple lutz at 1962 Worlds, I believe.)

The 2003 World Ice Dance podium (I believe) was the first to not include a Russian team since the inclusion of ice dance as a World Championship discipline (1. ITA 2. FRA 3. LTU)
nysk8r said:Are you thinking of another year? The 2003 podium in ice dancing was
1. Canada (Bourne & Kraatz)
2. Russia ( The Loverbuhks)
3. Bulgaria (Denkova & Staviski)
Perhaps it was 2000 or 2001?
