1980 Manuela Mager Uwe Bewersdorf - Worlds / East Germany

The 1980 Olympic Bronze medalists, place 2nd at Worlds. They had to sit out the 1979 competitive season, after winning a silver in 1978), due to injuries. Interesting, athletic skaters.....The East Germans had made a very competitive effort with their national prorgam in the 70's and early 80's.....starting with Maneula Gross and Uwe Kagelmen (72 Olympic Bronze medalists), and Romy Kermer with Rolf Osterreich 75, 76 Silver World medalists, and 74 bronze.

Always a favourite pair team of mine. They seemed to show much joy whenever they skated. Does anyone have their complete long from here in Dortmund ? I thought that they skated the best long in the pair event here even with a minimum of overhead lifts.

Thx for posting. While I absolutely LOVED them in '78, I wasn't impressed when they came back in '80 after a year of absence. She had developed such a typical DDR ladies style--e.g., Carola Paul, Constanze Gensell, Sabine Baess, Simone Koch, Manuela Gross, etc., with jerky stroking, rough edging and unrefined lines...
