Janet Lynn 1968 Olympics - at the microphone: Eva Pawlik
At the microphone: the 1948 Olympic runner-up Eva Pawlik. Pawlik (who happened to be the world's First lady to be a TV figure skating commentator) underlined in her commentary Janet Lynn´s enormous artistic abilities. I was asked to translate my mother´s commentary for the non German speaking audience:
"Though participating for the first time at Olympics or Worlds Janet Lynn is well known to us. Last year, she did some training in Switzerland (Davos) and then came to Vienna where the Worlds took place. Lynn did not participate but showed her free program at a skating exhibition in Vienna. We were all deeply impressed by the enormous artistic abilities of the then 13-year-old girl.
She is extremely fit. When practising she skates her free programme three times non-stop without getting tired. These 12 minutes are by far longer than a normal free programme at the men´s events which lasts 5 minutes.
Delayed axel. Double axel. Double flip. Inside axel (in German the sort of axel landed on the inside edge is called inside axel). Double lutz.
Triple salchow, though not perfect (but nevertheless - after the sounding of Pawlik´s voice when mentioning it - a small sensation).
Her greatness is her style (special emphasis on the word „style" in the sounding of Pawlik´s voice). Other young skaters may be technically brilliant as well but it is the charisma they lack. Lynn, however, though only 14 years old, has already developed her artistic abilities almost completely. Double salchow.
Perhaps Peggy Fleming is Lynn´s role model as Fleming also skates remarkably fluently. Lynn is skating in a certain sense undemonstratively, without using her arms and hands to be able to overcome technical difficulties as other skaters tend to do.
Double axel and double loop (in German: Rittberger) as a combination.
Double toe-loop. Double lutz. Flying sit spin.
In the end of her commentary Pawlik once again underlined Lynn´s ease and effortlessness in her skating and admired Janet showing several walley jumps - in both directions! - and one more double axel even in the very ending of her program.
An outstanding free skating!"
