Two-time World Champs in Ice Dancing, and the 1980 Olympic champs let a third World title slip thru their fingers, mostly due to a bobble in the compulsory rounds, as I recall. The Hungarians Kristina Regoczy and Andras Sallay would take the title after climbing one place each year at Worlds from 7th to 1st (1974 -1980).
Linichuk/Karponossov also earned World Bronze in 1977 and 1974. European Champs (79,80) Silver(78), and Bronze (74,75,76,77)
He fell in the OSP in Dortmund.
