This CBS Sports coverage of the 1986 Figure Skating World Championship competition was hosted by John Tesh and Scott Hamilton from March 18 – 23 in Geneva, Switzerland….in an event where five of the top six ice dance pairs finishers were either Russian or American…..with Soviets pairs Natalia Bestemianova + Andrei Bukin taking gold, Marina Klimova + Sergei Ponomarenko winning silver and Natalia Annenko + Genrikh Sretenski coming in 4th place…..with Americans pairs Suzanne Semanick + Scott Gregory placing 5th….and Rene Roca + Donald Adair coming in 6th…..while Canada’s Tracy Wilson + Robert McCall was won the bronze.
From this lil ole chiweenie Sportsphile’s perspective…..I think I enjoy the ice dancing more than any other discipline in the world figure skating competitions….cuz I really love to dance and watch folks dance…. and it just seems to be that dance on ice is more serene and beautiful than on a dance floor…..so, for any and all fans of figure skating…..you will love this 1986 World Ice Dance Championships…..for it is just a joy to watch.
