1987 Jill Watson - Peter Oppegard WORLDS EXHIBITION United States

In perhaps a foreshadowing of the great novice and junior pairs programs we would see from Tiffany and Johnny Steigler in the 1990's, Watson and Oppegard give us a little dance/pair skating for a Worlds Exhibition following their Bronze medal.

The chest lift is extraordinary!

Thanks so much for posting this! I knew they had the chest lift in there but couldnt remember what it looked like. Very unique.

20 years ahead of its time, you might say.......we only recently started seeing similar things from the Russians.....best wishes

One of the all-time GREAT pairs. They were STUNNING, especially that last death dragging spiral and final swoop lift.

One of my favorite teams of all times!!!
