When you mentioned figure skating...
In black-and-white TV era there was a sport commentator from Zagreb, who used to cover figure skating for all CBS speaking part of former Yugoslavia.
Her name is Milka Babovic and she is still alive and kicking (*born 1928, like my aunt) former hazena player (*hazena is now extuingished, it was handball played on football pitch), and she compete in athletics (100 m hurdles), sand recently she was in a jury for riality show "Let's dance with stars"!
Well, I remembered her from sixties and seventies when no one had colour Tv in Yugoslavia, she covered figure skating and 90 per cent of her talk was description of dresses and costumes (colours in so many nuances, turquoise being most famous, and that colour is still in some Yugoslav urban idioms.
