Do you remember?

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

Do you remember?

Post by Elizabeth »

On this day in 1984, Barbara Underhill and Paul Martini won the pairs title at the World Figure Skating Championships in Ottawa, Ontario. ⛸️

Yes, I sure do remember! At the time I was in Amherst, Nova Scotia studying my Masters in Deaf Education. I lived in the residence and we watched it together on TV. I've stayed in contact with 5 of the people I trained with and it feels like yesterday. Time has not changed our friendships. So, I do remember and how exciting it was! :) I think I got up in the middle of the night!?!

The event was in Ottawa which is only an hour off Nova Scotia time but I think there was a delay, perhaps due to a power outage.

I was watching on TV, I'm sure. Memory fades now. (My, I am getting old). I have a vague recollection of immense joy. & thinking that it would have been so much nicer if they had won the Olympics also, but this was shear happiness.
