I wish skating was still like this. Sure, we have more difficult things that we do now, but I just think back then it was so much more graceful and artistic.
Now this is how figure skating should be. With the new way of scoring, it's no longer a matter of flow and grace, but the added awkwardness of triples and combinations and quads. Notice Ms. Flemings spins - she doesn't travel. Her edge work is obvious. Too bad this technique has gone out the window.
Hoping Olympics & Worlds establishes FS into two competitions. One for Artistry & a second for Athleticism. IOC open to new ideas. Today's FS like a decathlon. Can borrow model from gymnastics, track & swimming. FS, without artistry, isn't Figure Skating. Can't b only one who sees this as answer to today's jam packed exercise called FS. Miss Michelle's spiral, Sasha's gliding, Sarah's smiral, Janet's Joy, & Dorothy's style. FS can have the best of both worlds.

Peggy Fleming simply the greatest ever
what made her amazing is she didn't try to be amazing...it was all effortless!
So she went back to an older long program for worlds that year? The 66 LP was the one she did in 68 as well.
That is some serious drag queen hair.
We LOVE you Peggy!
