It seems as though the “Nagano Flu” that ravaged through the 1998 Olympics, hit the figure skaters the hardest:
Elvis Stojko who also pulled a groin muscle a month before the Olympics.
Alexei Yagudin. Alexei won the gold four years later.
Tanja Szewczenko was so ill with the flu she went back to Germany and never had a chance to skate. Tanja also had a horrendous 1994 Olympics after colliding with Oksana Baiul in practice.
Marie-Claude Savard-Gagnon and Luc Bradet. I remember watching this on tv, and wondering if that girl was going to vomit right there on the ice.
Marie-Claude Savard-Gagnon is not impressed.
