I like that this program kept the same theme throughout rather than switching between 6 non-related pieces in 4 minutes, as we saw so often throughout the 70's and 80's. I also thought this program felt complete, with nice nuances, pacing, and strong skating. Most judges went down on their second marks, which doesn't make much sense to me. Very enjoyable.
Great costume, and great height on that first double axel... but the program construction and the in between elements are very unrefined and even a bit sloppy! It is amazing how much Linda improved in just four years time... she looked like a completely different skater at the Lake Placid games!

It's an OK skate, but it's a pale imitation of the program she performed at Nationals to get to the Olympics.
Wow - overmarked!
+Matt G. guess that they marked the practices
Matt G. stupid comment
She and Pötzsch were boring, if it wasn’t for the school figures, Denise Biellmann, would have won gold in 1980.
