About this audio guide
This guide to Olympiaworld in Innsbruck follows two silver medals from the same 1964 pairs figure skating event that ended up on opposite sides of a decades-long dispute. It traces West German skaters Marika Kilius and Hans-Jurgen Baumler from their program on this ice through a 1966 disqualification over a hidden contract, and the Canadian and American pairs whose standings shifted with it. An appeal reopened the case in 1987, though the final word took even longer to arrive. Best heard rinkside, where the marks once went up.
