the truth is with the championships outdoors and the potential weather related issues and inconsistencies it wasn't a fair playing field for all competitors. Being able to control the environment has also enabled the sport to include much more difficult elements than those being executed at the time the championships were outdoors.

[josny1]

It's more authentic, outside, one with nature seeing the scenery behind them...they did it then and was fine

[HowDareThey1970]

@josny1 Hockey players no longer play outside, either. No reason to have figure skaters outside if the hockey players aren't.

'Funny to see the men and women on the ice together warming up '

WHY, IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY IN RINKS AROUND THE WORLD. ;-)

[ItsEmmalicious]

[azsk8fan]

Funny to see the men and women on the ice together warming up

[figureprincess11]

te arent cold duh they have lots of layers on. im a skater and i know what they do!

[azsk8fan]

They dont' even act like their cold brrrrr

[waddleduckie1]

I forgot to now mention that there is a new ice skating rink over at Northstar Villiage. It is  an outdoor rink and is pretty big.

[josny1]

They should bring back outdoor skating at the Olympics. Makes it more special I think.

[HattieLovesCattie]

They won't,too dang cold.The last Worlds outside was with Peggy Fleming at Davos in 1967.

[figureprincess11]

no its not and they probably couldnt any more cause the ice doesnt freeze as good as it was then and it has to be a sertante length so then the zamboni can get onto it

[jkygogo]

No Sound because this is home movies 8 mm?

Just curious.

Thanks.

npe1 - you comments are so knowledgable. On another clip you mention that John Curry was the inspiration for you to skate. May i ask, are you British, and if so would you divulge your name?

[waddleduckie1]

i remember squaw valley... Though when the olympic games were held there, I wasn't even born yet. I skied there frequently and I supposed to go there this coming weekend. I hope that Squaw valley will be hosting a future olympic game again.

At that time in 1960, sk8inprincess, the top men were already doing triples, just salchow and loop I think, the top ladies could do double axel. But back then, 60% of the marks were for school figures. There is, however, footage elsewhere on youtube of David Jenkins doing a triple axel in 1957 in practice, 21 years before Vern Taylor did the first in competion in 1978!

[floskate]

David is also said to have landed the triple axel in the exhibition at these very games. Great footage. Thanks for posting.

[sk8inprincess21]

what were the highest jumps they could do?

[barkingtree88]

Women - Double Axel, Men - Triple Loop

[josny1]

They should have the ice skating outside again, looks nice with the trees in background.

[k9henrydog]

We need to identify as many girls as possible. I think the two Dutch girls are out there (blondes), Soujke Djitrystra and Joan Hannappel...???

[k9henrydog]

This is just fascinating and wonderful!! Terrific
