which skater at the 1976 olympics tried to run her over with a car driven by her coach?? This was just brought to my attention, and although Dorothy didnt say who it was, I am thinking it was Isabelle De Navarre, or Christine Errath. Anyone know more>
@claireshana This was over 35 years ago. It really is silly to be trying to compare Yu Na to Dorothy. Technique has changed so much since then, skates are better, blades are better, boot construction and materials are better. Also we know so much more about how to train a body. Also these were amateur skaters they did not get paid until they turned professional, something that's different now. Both in their own time are lovely skaters.

What I love is that Dorothy didn't skate to the same, boring atypical music. Even today skaters are boring me to death with tangos, etc.
