3/16/1991:
Three women from the same country finish 1-2-3 at the world figure skating championships for the first time in the 73-year history of the event when Americans Kristi Yamaguchi, Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan finish in that order in the finals at Munich. Yamaguchi skates to music from Samson and Delilah and nails six triple jumps to win her first senior-level world title. She'll repeat in this event next year and will take the gold medal in the 1992 Winter Olympics at Albertville, France.
