Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - 1987 World Figure Skating Championships, Men's Long Program - Brian Orser of Canada finally had a great skate in the Long Program to win the World Title that has eluded him for two years.
Munich, GERMANY - 1991 World Figure Skating Championships, Ladies' Original Program - 6-Minute Warm-Up period for Japan's Midori Ito went awry when she and France's Laetitia Hubert collided at top speed, throwing Midori up against the boards, knocking the wind out of both skaters. Midori would leave the ice winded, shaken, with bruised ribs and a cut into her skate boot by Laetitia's blade.
Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - 1988 Winter Games, Figure Skating, Ladies' Long Program - Katarina Witt of East Germany didn't have the most difficult program, but the judges rewarded her for her artistry, enough to finish 2nd in the Long Program, which allowed her to win the Gold Medal here. Had she placed lower in the Long Program, Elizabeth Manley would have won.
Hamar, NORWAY - 1994 Winter Games, Pairs' Free Skate - Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov of Russia skated to the Gold Medal, even though they had some minor errors in their program to Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata," particularly with the last side-by-side jump sequence where Sergei fell out of the double Salchow.
Copenhagen, DENMARK - 1994 European Figure Skating Championships, Ladies' Technical Program - First, a profile on Katarina Witt, followed by the Technical Program of German National Champion Tanja Szewczenko, and then the Technical Program of Katarina Witt of Germany, where she placed 9th.

Lausanne, SWITZERLAND - 1997 World Figure Skating Championships, Ladies' Short Program - Nicole Bobek of the United States missed the solo triple jump and would place 8th here.
