1972 Janet Lynn (w/commentary) US Nationals

The fresh faced, 18 year old, from Rockford, Illinois......puts one in the record books. An effort to capture the excitement and magic of the moment by matching the commentary with the Howard Cracker film.

Love the program, but on my computer the audio was so loud and distorted that I had to mute in order to enjoy Janet's program.

@ja3399 It helps to lower the volume on the player......but yes, it is a very old cassette tape recording. I thought the commentary worth the sufferring. best wishes

i saw this performance on tv in 1972 and remember everyone saying how great she was that was an understatement she was unique and magical and set the benchmark for me for other ladies skaters i didnt find another to come close until roz sumners in 1982

Roz did have a lot of 'sparkle'! but Janet seemed to always be skating from the inside-out......that's why it looked so different from everyone else. Few capture that kind of magic anymore.....best wishes

The audio on this is SO loud that it's distorted on the lowest volume setting.

Sorry....it was made from an aged cassette recording, taken off a 12 inch sears black and white television set......i find it tolerable if you lower the sound level on the video......amateur broadcasting!!.......best wisehs

@SOLE2SOUL Yes, audio was SO loud and distorted on my computer too. Finally I had to mute it to enjoy the program. But otherwise, Janet was and is without peer. Magical, spiritual, and with such a gift of interpretation that I cannot find words for it.
