Liz Manley saved the ladies event. Both of the favorites flubbed, Debi Thomas had a terrinle outing and Katarina Witt was uninspired and uninspiring. Not only did Manley hit some big jumps, but you gotta love a Calgary cowgirl performing at the Stampede Corral rink (or was it at the Saddledome?)ETA : Just don't like the idea that skating from the past is "less exciting" I remember well when Manley did her LP at Calgary '88 Olympics and landed her big exotic triple Back then, very few women could perform either the flip or the lutz, so to see her land a triple lutz at the Olympic was SUCH AN EXCITING THRILL !!!! ...
And the men's event wasn't exactly chopped liver, either.
