Rosyln Summers wasn't one of the most famous amateur skaters in this country, but when she turned pro, she was a knock out. Nobody could capture an audience like Ros. I saw one of her performances here in Waterloo, Iowa, once, and she captivated me and the rest of the audience. She will always be one of the most talented performers on ice skates of all time,in my opinion.

Pretty Decent !

She really came into her own after the Olympics. I saw her in Stars on Ice a few times, and she was always really good; her strength was always her artistry. By the way, this is a judgment on her skating, not on whether she is a great humanitarian.

I never liked her at all.She came across as a snob.She still married to that old man?

Well she certainly profited from the school figures back then; it saved her not just this time. But she did have that 'polish' that so many of the commentators would comment on; a polish that Witt did not at all yet have (and still didn't have in '87; we had to wait till '88 to see it), and Zayak would never have, and Chin was too young to have. I don't think she was overrated; she was just inconsistent, and she profited greatly from the figures. (Too bad she didn't have a decent layback.)

Easily the most boring and over-rated world champion of the last 30 years. How she ever became world champion I'll never know - there were plenty of better skaters around, including plenty in the USA.

Ah! Most interesting. I had you mis-classified as a disgruntled Elaine Zayak fan. My apologies.
At Indianapolis in 1982 there were so many falls in the long program that in the seats we were all desperate for someone to skate cleanly--thus the ovation when Roz finally did. I guess the USFSA did and does everything it can to keep bad backstage behavior out of the public eye.

Sorry I wasn't specific about this, Mikey300. I competed with her in the late 70s through 1981. Even before she was famous for her skating, she had a reputation of being a fur-wearing princess with colorful off-ice behavior. She'd throw tantrums, tell others off unsolicitedly, etc. OFF THE ICE. She was basically how Paris Hilton is supposed to be in real life. I'm not familiar with her interactions with the audience, so I can't really comment on that.

Okay, I'll bite--just how did Roz "treat people around her back then?" I have _heard_ that Roz really didn't like to sign autographs (although a friend of mine had no trouble getting one at the practice rink in Pittsburgh in 1983), but how does that constitute being "the meanest girl around". At Salt Lake in 1984 I was close enough to speak to her several times at the practice and figures rinks but I never did--she was, after all, "working".
