  • @foresure88 Actually, Lu Chen won the 1997 Karl Schaffer Memorial which served as a secondary qualifier for the 1998 Olympic Games for those who didn't qualify in the traditional way by finishing top 24 in Lausanne the year before. The top 6 skaters from countries that didn't already qualify were then granted places in Nagano. Szewczenko's place was actually earned by Eva-Marie Fitze at the Worlds the year before, and her withdrawl in Nagano had no direct effect on Lu Chen's place in Nagano.

  • @TonyWheeler Yes I believe your right. I heard it from the commentators because Lu Chen's spot wasn't fully guaranteed but she was able to pick up some points in some other events during fall to qualify.

  • @foresure88 Not exactly. Chen earned a spot back for China at a competition in the autumn of 1997. Szewczenko's withdrawal was late and therefore there was no replacement for her.

  • I think she would of won Bronze like Chen Lu. Because of her flu, Chen Lu was able to get her spot and replaced her at the Olympics.

  • How ? Really , silber ?

  • of course! And I'm meeting the queen tomorrow to have tea with her^^

  • Great performance from Tanja. Pity that she didn't get to skate at the Olympics again. I wonder where she would've placed if she had been well.

  • Hey everybody ! I have Tanja's email address ! I even chatted her on my Yahoo and Hot Mail instant messengers !

  • She finished other performances much better. In 1994 she was 6th at the Olympics and 3rd at the World Championship. She won the German championship 3 times, placed 2nd twice and 3rd twice. She has landed as many as 7 triple jumps in a single competition, but this wasn't it.

  • Since a few years she´s an actress in german tv. Since 2006 she plays a figure skater, who become world champion. In November 2007 she skated at holiday on ice. This was her comeback.
