Here we have the Protopopov's very early in their career, before they were married skating at the 1960 Europeans in Garmisch-Partenkirschen. They finished a distant fourth here, but the crowd booed heartily, clearly wanting higher marks. Nine years later (and with a partial roof then in place) the crowd booed once more for what they believed were marks that were too high, and they were defeated by Rodnina & Ulanov.
