Skaters Meno and Sand Win Short Program at Worlds
Meno and Sand, the three-time American champions, won the short program at the World Figure Skating Championships in Minneapolis as injuries and waning form shadowed their career. They faced a depleted field but held off Olympic runners up Berezhnaya and Sikharlidze, who could not match them. The duo, 1994-96 U.S. champions, will leave Olympics-eligible ranks after this event and remain strong contenders for a third world medal with bronze previously in 1995 and 1996.
