Michelle Kwan !! she really inspired me, and Caroline Zhang

Janet Lynn and Peggy Fleming. Not that I think I could ever be as graceful as they are, but hey, I can dream!

Debi Thomas was the first skater that I actually followed as a fan. I also scoped out Scott Hamilton.

It was easier to be a skating fan back then because the TV coverage was so much better. I remember watching figure skating weekend after weekend. Of course, I didn't realize it wasn't live and I couldn't get real-time results over the internet.

Hmm. Where I live we only get to see skating when the Winter Olympics is on. I do recall living in England at the time John Curry won the Olympics, and we did try to go skating but the queue was around the block so it didn't happen. I held that desire subconsciously until a rink opened here in 1980. So I guess John Curry's win was the impetus to try skating.

Hi

Well, for me, it has gone to be Torvill and Dean. They are so good in their ice dancing moves, I so love their bolero. Only trouble I do not have a skating partner and I do not know how to do a bolero lol.
