I put the link mostly because of the photo - she looks nice and energetic on it, and IMO better than she did as a young girl.

Fröhliche Geburtstag! Trixi!!!!

Here's some clips of her from Sapporo (with Janet Lynn and Karen Magnussen too)

There's also some footage of her head and shoulders as she does a loop figure (those shoulders are just so rock solid!)

There used to be some clips of her free skating but I can't find them right now....
