IT WAS ADJUSTABLE Answer: Isabelle Brasseur and AND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF EACH SKATERS CIRCLES WAS BASED ON THEIR HEIGHT AND POWER. SKATER’S Lloyd Eisler TYPICALLY GOT THEIR FIRST “SCRIBE” WHEN THEY WERE ON THEIR THIRD FIGURE AND THEY WERE STARTING Lloyd Eisler thought his competitive days were coming to an end when he paired up with his third partner, Isabelle Brasseur in 1987. He could not have been more wrong. This dynamic duo stayed together for 17 years and became famous for their daring moves, innovative lifts and entertaining programs. One of their most famous exhibition programs was called "Patricia the Stripper" where the hulking Eisler was dressed as a woman, and the petite Brasseur was dressed as a man. The pair co-wrote two books, "Brasseur & Eisler : To Catch a Dream" in 1996 and a follow-up called, "Brasseur & Eisler: The Professional Years" in 1999. 6 of 9 PAGE 3. TRIVIA ANSWERS CONTINUED… Answer: Brian Orser Brian Orser and Brian Boitano had completely opposite skating styles. Orser was light and quick on his feet while Boitano emphasized long, powerful edges. For the entire competitive season leading up to the 1988 Olympics, Orser was undefeated. However, at the Olympics Boitano beat him by one tenth of a point to win the gold medal. Orser turned professional after the 1988 season and toured with Stars on Ice. He played Escamillo in a made for television movie called "Carmen on Ice" and won an Emmy for Outstanding Performance in Classical Music/Dance programming. He coached Yu Na Kim to a gold medal win in Ladies figure skating at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010. Answer: Elizabeth Manley Elizabeth Manley, only a few tenths of a point from winning gold, won the silver medal at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary. In a career with many ups an downs, she was not considered in contention for a medal. She won another silver medal at the World Championships in 1988. Manley's unexpected Olympic medal was celebrated across Canada, giving her instant celebrity status. She retired after the 1988 season and started a professional career with Ice Capades. Answer: Pairs Skating The notorious scoring issue in the 2002 Winter Games was sparked when the first and second place teams faced the judges. Russian team Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze faltered in their Long Program/Free Skate while Canadians Jamie Salé and David Pelletier excelled. Nonetheless, the judges awarded the gold to the Russians and, when officials investigated they found that the French judge, the swing vote in the final program, was pressured into voting the Russians through to win. Both pairs were given the gold and the entire scoring system for figure skating was revamped. Answer: Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz formed a partnership in 1991 and in just two short years became Canadian ice dance champions, a feat they would repeat a total of 10 times. Their innovative style went against the grain of traditional ice dancing and gave them a reputation as rebels. It caused them to speak openly about unfair judging practices. Bourne and Kraatz became famous for their use of hydroblading in their performances, a technique where the body lays low and almost parallel to the ice. Their most famous program was "Riverdance" with its fast and difficult footwork sequences. It was a hit with spectators, but less so with the conservative judging panel. The three-time Olympians placed fourth at both the Nagano and Salt Lake City Winter Games. Answer: Elvis Stojko Canadian figure skating icon Elvis Stojko became the first man to land a quadruple toe loop, double toe loop combination jump cleanly in competition. He is most remembered for his athleticism and jumping ability. He was heavily favoured to win gold at the 1998 Olympics, but a bout with the flu and a serious groin injury forced him to downgrade his jumps. Not able to take painkillers because of drug-testing, he battled on to win silver. He limped off the ice after his final performance and, unable to skate any longer, accepted his medal on the podium in sneakers. 7 of 9 TRIVIA ANSWERS CONTINUED… Answer: Jamie Sale and David Pelletier Pairs skaters Jamie Salé and David Pelletier won gold medals at the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002, but they had to share them with Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze of Russia. When it was discovered that the French judge received a bribe to change her vote in favour of the Russians, her vote was discarded. She and several other judges and officials were suspended. As a result, the Canadian and Russian teams ended up with a tie. The scandal spearheaded an overhaul of the judging system and a new point based system was implemented by the International Skating Union in 2004. In a unique twist, Sale and Pelletier became good friends with Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze while on a professional skating tour with them. Sale and Pelletier were married in December 2005, and later divorced in 2010. They have one son together. PAGE 4. ANSWERS WHAT IS THIS? A TRIPLE SOW COW! 8 of 9 9 of 9.
