  • Many of todays young ladies would be hard pressed to skate this progran move for move an do it with the stlye and grace Janet did.

  • Janet skates with sooo much joy! Where do we see anybody today skate with so much speed, grace, unbelievable technical perfection? what a Lost Art in skating is such beautiful moves like a 'half-axel' or "mazurka's" ? Or is it simply because Janet did them the best,, no one tries to compare?

  • What is the music.....does anyone know????

  • @Kounting6 I take that back. shes great. But don't knock on today's skaters cuz they are faced with much more preassure in the sport than before.

  • @Kounting6 Well if the difficulty standards were the same as before, if all you had to do were doubles many more wold skate with joy. But now, athleticism real flexibility is a must and thats a good thing in my opinion. And i think these rinks were smaller thats why she appears faster. I respect Lynn, but I also respect the skaters of today.

  • Her joy on the ice is magical. The one thing that confuses me though is: Did she use the same program every time she skated. It seems that every clip I watch of her it's the same music and program. Was that normal back then? Anyway, she is a legend.

  • Which move is the "mazurka"? Time please.

    I love to watch skating and I'm soooo thankful for being able to see all these great old programs. 

  • She was so magical on the ice. I get chills when I watch these videos of her. She looks like a beautiful little pixie.

  • We keep hearing, "there is more to skating than jumps." Anybody who does not know what that means can watch Janet Lynn, and begin to find the meaning. Absolutely breathtaking. Exquisite. And timeless.

  • LEGS!
