Scott Hamilton is one of my all time favorite people!!!! I've been a fan for a long time. Seeing this, Scott deserved the gold medal. Bar none. This man ruled men's figure skating in the early 80s. No one did it better than him. And no one does it better than Scott when it comes to entertaining. Every time I watched Scott, I i knew, knew, that it was goign to be great! He gives you something to look forward to every time. God bless you,Scotty!!
CaterinaShanghai he actually knew the scoring system worked to its advantage. He figured he would probably place 2nd in figures and well enough ahead of the best free skaters that he wound win overall. That’s exactly as it played out.
There were no quads back in 1984. Triple -triple was the highest-scoring combination and not many men were doing them. I think that changed in ‘88 with the rivalry between Orsor & Boitano.
