Paul Wylie, 1992 Olympic silver medalist and, with partner Dana Graham, 1980 U.S. junior pairs national champion speaks out about falling:
In pairs in Paris in 1980 I was doing a lift, and when I put [Dana] down, her toe picks dug into the ice. She pitched onto her knees, and I fell on top of her. We were skating to the song Somewhere from West Side Story, and after a fall you can lose your place in the program. As we were getting up, Dana asked, "Where are we?" "In France," I said.In conclusion, Michelle Kwan. (She has to keep her lead as most frequently mentioned woman on the site)
