Re: [RC] Medals at European Championships 1985-2005 - Tom Sites
Susan, The dawn has come, and its a new day
and a new battle, as life brings its complexities and unneeded confusion as we
all sift thru what is real, meaningful and true VS what is not.
I would think that whoever put that 'data' together
was aware of the facts. Its just another attempt to re-direct History and
change the course of human perception. I truly believe it was not ERROR,
but INTENT. ts

After looking at the results of that data, I didn't see
the USA anywhere in any of the data. What's up with that?

This is in referance to the above, listed on RC's
front page. I really don't want to disallusion anyones ideas of
grandeur, but there is an ERROR.
At the 1987 OPEN European Championships the Team
Gold Medal was won by the USA (after much discussion) and not Belguim who won
the Team Silver. I have in my possession the Team Gold Medal and we
theTeam, Title of "Champions of Europe". The Belguims were the "European
Champions"being the first European Team. We as a Team also have the
German Silver Platter from those Championships, signed by Franz Joesph.
At the time, it was controversy because it was an 'Open' Championship and the
USA showed up and won the Team Gold Medal. That rule was changed the
next year so the Championships were no longer 'Open'.
Now this may not be important to most, but to
post results that are wrong instills History to accept falseitudes and not
facts. So it is my intent to correct this inaccuracy today, before
tomorrow comes.
I, along with Jeannie Waldron, Mike Marino and
Victoria Varley all have a Team Gold Medal from the 1987 European
Championships, so how can this information say Belguim won the Team
Gold? You will also notice in these 'facts' that in 1987 the Team Gold
was awarded and not Team Silver and Bronze. ERROR ERROR
The complete story was printed in Trail Blazer in
October, 1987, for anyone interested.
