featuring The 1973 European Figure Skating Championships: The Pairs Championship
The Russian pair, Irina Rodnina and Alexei Ulanov, have been World and European champions for the last four years. Now they have split up.
Will Irina Rodnina retain the European title with her new partner Alexander Zaitsev. Or will Alexei Ulanov win again - this time with his new partner-also his wife - Ludmilla Smirnova, herself second in last year's World and European Pairs Championship?
