Wow! This is why I love skating! The legend Janet Lynn!!

Just amazing, wow in 1970 they were really packing the arena. I miss actual figure skating now I feel like this sport has now changed its name to ice acrobats

She was from Rockford Illinois? Not too far from where I was raised. I think that’s where the Gilles family is from too including Piper

No edge jumps? And lots of axels…. I think I saw Axel’s, toes and flips? Did she have edge jumps?

Finally registered after years of lurkdom.

The first program that came to my mind when I saw the title was Jeff Buttle's Nationals performance of Naqoyqatsi. 16 years later it still gives me chills.

Axels are edge jumps

Also, the 2A and 2Lz were the hardest jumps routinely being done.

Janet does have a seamlessly integrated 2S at the 1:41 mark. She has a 2Lp out of nowhere at the 2:58 mark.

Most Romeo/Juliet programs bore me, mostly same music and not very interesting programs. This was one of the few I did enjoy. Thank you for the reminder of this FD. And thanks to everyone in this thread, for the many programs I either never watched or haven't seen in a long time.

I love watching this performance because their skates tell a story of entrances to moves they would and could have done if their bodies still allowed them . . . like the death spiral at the 2:25 mark . . . or the lift they were entering at the 2:40 mark.

I was not their fan but I love this performance of Rodnina Zaitsev to Kalinka. Their speed and power was amazing. I also like their unison, stretch of the bodies. They were athletic skaters, not artistic/lyrical like those before (Protopopovs) or after them (G/G, B/S, and the creative M/D). They were way ahead of others in their era.

And here is a much later skate to Kalinka by a slower Rodnina and - Tikhonov. Not exactly chilling but very enjoyable. Amazing that she could still skate and do lifts, with a different partner.

And of course I can’t find it: It was Skate Canada called by the Brits ( I am assuming Eurosport) and it was the Shibs introducing their retooled “Fix You.” Beautiful.
