- A short documentary featuring rare practice and competition footage of the great skaters of the day competing at the 1971 Worlds in Lyon. Including Rodnina & Ulanov, the Bezics, Starbuck & Shelley, Ondrej Nepela, Patrick Pera, and Janet Lynn.

They loved Janet and Ondrej Nepela was so handsome.
Goodness me! Where did you find this? Phenomenal. Immensely grateful! Thank you!
25:37 - the eternally fabulous Pakhomova and Gorshkov.
True, Schuba did look heavy here. IMHO, her free skating was not as bad as it was made out to be - it's just that Janet Lynn was so innovative, bright and effervescent that people were amazed.
Nepola certainly seemed entranced.
How refined and dignified the costumes were back then !
Wow, Ondrej Nepela was a real hottie, so handsome. No wonder Toller Cranston had the hots for him. This is fantastic. You can see Ulanov's error on the double toe in the short program which is why they were behind entering the free. Schuba was well...she looks heavy here compared to the 70 Worlds (on youtube) and the following Olympic season (her European Ch. free is on here), so I guess she slimmed down a bit before Sapporo.
Thank you very much for uploading this. Of many skaters from previous eras, I still haven't seen (much) skating footage. The description of their skating and results makes me very curious to watch their programs. You've helped quite a lot with that!
Always glad to be of help
I love watching ths styles of competition clothes from another era. A journey back in skating time.
Janet Lynn skating has something special, I don't know what it is, but you can't take your eyes away from her.
