Lisa-Marie was expected to win the 1981 US title, but a nervous free skate was overshadowed by another triple jumping whirlwind.

  • Well, sorry gang....but we can add JUDY COLLINS to our list of 'creeps' who don't want their music on YOUTUBE! Had to replace the soundtrack. I didn't have any Judy Collins records to break up, but I certainly have destroyed all my GENE KELLY and the ARTIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS Puutz!!! I'll bet we were the only people listening to her stupid song anyway.......what a jerk!!!! best wishes

  • I hear you on this...Can you believe Rodgers and Hammerstein rose from the grave and took down my Brian Boitano- Carousel Wattz video? :(

  • It's artistically criminal,! Kind of like ripping all the 'flesh tone' paint off the Mona Lisa cause your grandpa made the formula for it!! The USFSA paid performance fees for this in 1980, they made their money on it. Once artistically linked to a performance, they SHOULD be glad, if indeed they truly are so-called 'Artists"....which we know they are NOT!!! slow burn..........................­...hope you are well! best wishes

  • Is that Michael Seibert hugging her at the end w.those big glasses?

  • Yes, that's ole Michael! I am not sure if he had anything to do with the choreography, or may have just been there as a friend. He and Judy were skating in California at the time. best wishes

  • Lisa Marie Allen was one of the most special skaters this country has ever produced; she was the Janet Lynn of the 80's, and that is one of the highest compliments that can be paid to a skater: she was humble, unassuming, appreciative, an artist who skated for the love of the sport.  Every element had a reason and a meaning and a connection in the program. Her musicality, presence, technical skill on spins and jumps, will never be eqauled nor forgotten. What a true champion!

  • I would have to second that quite strongly!!

  • What a beautiful skater! She was always robbed by the judges; I guess they couldn't believe you could be that tall, that beautiful and that talented.  Wow!

  • At 5'10' she is an inspiration to all skaters who do not look like the "baby ballerinas" as Dick Button would say.

  • You can tell the REAL champions, because they stop to hug or acknowlege the flower children!!!!! A Cinderella on Ice!!!!
