xoi, it seems that every other former world-class figure skater is your coach ;)
Karen's moves were amazing. Instead of triples/quads that injure skaters, I'll take any of those combo jumps.

@grandmagrumpy There was nothing simple about her program at the time, it was the most difficult program.. at the time. Karen had a triple jump but didn't need to use it.

no offence to Karen Magnussen, but i find it kind of..... unfairish that back then u could be a world champion with only a double axel, but now are world champions are doing triple axels, and some are doing quads. i know skating like evolved, but like if it was still like only double axels, i would like be at worlds which would be weird but fun!!!

Her music at the end is from the Rach 3, the same music Michelle Kwan skated to at the Olympics. I wish this were not out of sync so we could see better how she interprets the music. I love her spiral!

@ynotallec "out of synch"

So great to see her video...for the first time. Her performance is very solid. I took lessons from her back in '88 at the winter club as a school activity...very very lovely lady. good to hear she still coaches there : )

those are North Shore Winter Club thunder thighs! the height of her jumps! wow
-
I'm just curious what were the second set of marks there 4 Karen?
-
I did a training camp with Linda Brochmann in Australia in 1985. She was a great coach.

@bunnyinskates i feel so special :3
she's so nice!!!
She skated very well but I didn't see much relationship between her skating and the choreography. Does anybody else feel the same?

I believe if you watch the video and listen to the music and the commentators you will notice that the video is out of sink. also notice she ends far to early. This is partly due to this being a 35 year old clip and remember there weren't vcr's in 1973
