Four female skaters Lutzed out of Lillehammer in 1994 as international household names, and each would probably like to redo at least part of the re-entry. Ekaterina Gordeeva, two-time gold-medal winner in pairs skating, watched at a skating rink as her 28-year-old partner and husband died in her arms of undiagnosed heart disease, in November 1995.
