I think it was Debbie Thomas the American who skated against her..Witt just caught the attention of the crowd and poor Debbie didn’t have a chance.
I thought Debbie Thomas was the better skater. It’s a tragedy how low she has fallen in life.
It was more than that. Debbie Thomas just flat-out quit during her long program routine when she botched a few of the early steps.
She apparently had a reputation for being a self-centered, snotty competitor.
One of the few Olympic sports I watch. Remember this fab performance.
I took figure skating lessons as a kid and flunked. Incredibly difficult.
Was this the Olympics when Elizabeth Manley outskated Witt but lost?
See post #24- i was there that night- Thomas was awful; missed jumps, double footed landings...went from first to third
