Jim McKay was 86 years old. I've heard he might have had an illness (in one story I read), and also that he simply died quietly at home from natural causes. And saying that 'he is one of those people that feels like he should always be there' is very close to the truth. I think that's how a lot of us feel about Jim McKay, and it probably is at least partly because so many of us have grown up on his work at the Olympics and Wide World of Sports. In my case my earliest memories of watching the Olympics involve Jim McKay and Munich. I probably watched Mexico City in 1968 (I was six) but I just don't remember.
No, I didn't know you had gotten it four times. I thought I had sent it twice by mistake, but I didn't know it had gone four times. I belong to three different Boitano lists though, so I might have accidentally sent it to this group that many times.
Subject: Re: [Boitano] Sportscaster legend Jim McKay has died
I was too so sad to hear he died. I know he was old and seems he didn't suffer from a long illness, just old. At the same time though, he is one of those people that feels like he should always be there. Maybe because I grew up on the Olympics and Wide World of Sports and have been an avid Olympic fan and general sports fan since. He was someone that felt so familiar. Sorry to hear him go. And I found out about it while watching the Belmont on Saturday. That was an ugly dissappointment as well.
By the way, Gail, did you know that we got your email 4 times?

Yes, we all know about his time on 'Wide World of Sports' and 'the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat' (probably the only sports related saying I remember nearly as well is Al Michael's 'Do you believe in miracles? Yes!'), but one of the first things that came to my mind was 1972 in Munich. I can not think of any other sportscaster who could have handled that horrible situation with the kind of class and dignity that Jim McKay handled it with. To be honest, since I was ten years old at the time I remember it more from documentaries and rebroadcasts, but I can't possibly ever forget Jim McKay coming out in Munich and saying the worst possible thing had happened and then 'They're all gone.' I remember when the FS Nationals were held in San Jose in 1996 (I was lucky enough to be there in person!), a friend and fellow Boitano fan saw the semi-retired Jim McKay on the skating broadcasts and told me it was her first time seeing him and now she understood why he was considered a 'legend'.
There will never be another one like him, and he will definitely be missed.

I think I may have found the skater who will help ease the pain for me
if Brian should ever completely leave the ice. (god forbid, but if it
should ever happen).
Last Olympics I noticed one particular skater who interested me.
Out of all of them, he had what I like to call 'IT'. That elusive
qualtiy that I am forever searching for in skaters. Only a handful
have 'IT', Brian being first and foremost.
His name is Evan Lysack, and the more I see of him, the more I am sure.
Evan has something. I would even dare to say that same something
special that first drew me to Brian.
Each time I see him, I am more and more impressed with him.
He was great during the Wynnona show, and believe me, it takes alot to
draw my attention away from Brian when he's on the ice. But I found
myself looking for Evan too during the end program. That says something.
Perhapes I now have someone else to make me happy on the ice.
I look forward to and long career from Evan. Here's hoping I'm not
disapointed again.
I found this on the Blades On Ice website while looking for some information about the Champions on Ice tour (https://bladesonice.com/oldnews1.htm):

Witt Plans Farewell Performance
BERLIN (AFP) — Double Olympic figure skating champion Katarina Witt of Germany is to call time on her professional skating career with farewell performances in Germany and Russia during the Spring of 2008.
The 41-year-old, also a four-time world champion and six-time European champion, will take part in galas in Chemnitz, Moscow and St Petersburg, as well as potentially the United States as she says goodbye."For the last two years I've been thinking about saying goodbye, something that makes me feel both happy and sad," she said.
"Happy because I'm going to focus on new professional ambitions and sad because it's the end of a magnificant era."
Witt won the Olympic title in 1984 and 1988 and made an unsuccessful attempt at an amateur comeback for the 1994 Games in Lillehammer.
*******
I don't know if I would call her performances in Lillehammer 'unsuccessful'. So, she didn't win. I don't think she expected too. I think she did what she wanted to do, though she might have hoped to place better. It took me years to appreciate her, and now I'm going to miss her. Scares me that Brian might not be far behind...
