Feb. 02, 1969 - European Championship in Pair Skating: With a surprise did the European championship in pair skating end in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on 5th February, 1969. The well-known Russian couple, Ludmilla Beloussowa and Oleg Protopopow, did not win this championship like in the last few years as expected, but another Russian couple - Irina Rodnina and Alexej Ulanow-came out as the winners. It was only the second time they participated in an international competition and they really presented an excellent show.
