On this day in 1984, Barbara Underhill and Paul Martini won the pairs title at the World Figure Skating Championships in Ottawa, Ontario.
I certainly remember - I was in the arena

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.
