@GlitterMagnet Janet is a coach? Where? I would pay just to see her coach.

she's a coach at the rink i skate at! i want her to be my coach:) she looks SO different now. she's gained weight but she is still a brilliant skater.

When I watch something like this, it makes me despair at how much skating has devolved in the current era. Which current skater shows this much musicality, this much perfection in body-line, the intricacy in steps and movements with little dependence on crossovers, the ride-out from her jumps? Will we ever see a beautiful layback like hers again instead of a bad foot and leg position in preparation for pulling the foot up into a Biellmann? Sad.

Such a pleasure to watch; I love how smooth and seamless she is going into and landing jumps...just flawless..and she had one of the beast lay=back spins EVER...

Her skating is so smooth and she makes it look effortless. The skaters today can take a lesson from her! gorgeous to watch!

She seems to really understand the true beauty that figure skating can be!! I LOVE how she holds out every move to the fullest, and there's simply not a mediocre position or line in the entire program. A masterpiece.

Janet Lynn makes each moment on the ice a precious one! Ahhhh.....
-
she moves like the wings of an angel - i found myself holding my breath watching this. truly enchanting!

That was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Entranced from the very first second.
Magic! The restraint of Janet Lynn's style is timeless. I fully agree with Toller's astute comments; the point of the free toe, the stretch of the free leg, the stretch of the neck and the relaxation in the shoulders. All attributes not seen at all in competitive skating today.
Janet's rock solid jumping technique almost 10 years after ending her amateur career is a testament to Miss Kahout's excellent coaching.
