Tracey Wainman - 1981 Canadian Nationals Long Program

Yes, Kay Thomson fell on hers, and I don't think Liz Manley attempted her triple lutz. I have a dim memory but I think Elizabeth tried a triple toe loop and fell, and made another mistake.. it wasn't a great skate.

I would assume both Kay (Thomson) and Liz (Manley) missed on their (triple) lutz attempts.

Wow....I can't believe how mature she is for 13. Remember Michelle Kwan at 13? She had jumps, but didn't have the choreography and flow and speed that Tracey had....who knows what might have been.

This was probably the best performance of her career technically. What an improvement in skating quality in one year. She left out a double axel, but the two she did do were fantastic. Wonder how she lost it so soon after this. Her performance at Worlds two months later had more fire, but only one double axel, and a terrible fall on the other axel. Great triple salchows though. Lots of sparkle, but by 1985 and 1986 her artistry was even better. Canada's Janet Lynn.
