@macerface Remember they had only just begun to start doing multiple rotation jumps-especially the women. Lady skaters were even PENALIZED for doing jumps at the turn of the last century. Jumping styles became more refined as time went on and with better skate boot equipment.
-
I had never seen this footage of Tenley before! Thanks for sharing! :)
-
why do skaters from this era's jumps look so awkward? the freeleg is hardly crossed and very bent on the landings.
-
Such a gem!! The footwork sequences are superb. And the simple things like transitioning from backward to forward crossovers without moving the upper body at all really give the impression of floating on air. Thank you for sharing this!

I love her double axel - it's like a beautiful exclamation point in exactly the right spot.
-
@applebread38 You miss my point - I don't mean that she had the attitude of "jus whatever" - I mean that the program is executed with such ease and so naturally that it comes across as if everything is done easily, with no great effort or preparation - she just does the moves and everything flows and works together as one movement flowing with ease to the next without obvious preparation or effort.
-
she just looks like shes having so much fun! she makes me want to be on the ice.. and I don't even skate!
-
Dr. Albright is always wonderful to watch. Thank you for posting this.

I like this program, which won Albright her first world title, better than her '56 Olympic program - and I find her just as enchanting, engaging, and beautifully artistic as any other female, elite competitive figure skater giving allowances for the level of skating at the time she competed.
