How about this, I was with Carol and Hayes (her husband, 1956 Olympic Gold Medalist+) at their home today (5-18-2023)! They are an amazing and beautiful couple. Life has been great to both, Carol is as beautiful as ever with the energy from her youth! Hayes (90 last March) is sharp as a tack, a little slower right now only because of a recent medical issue, yet not letting that slow him down much. Their lives have been a storybook and well deserved. They are a national treasure and someone should do a documentary about them. Imagine, husband and wife Olympic Gold Medalists and World Champions, wife becomes a highly respected and successful coach, husband becomes a Harvard educated International lawyer in the same house! Truly an honor to call them friends!
....Carol jumped four Axles in a row, down the long axis of the ice in both directions! Just saying... She was an innovator on the ice as a competitor, As a Coach, she created the quad! She taught the Quad Salchow to the" King of Quads" Timothy Gable. Figure skating would be very different without Carol's influence. I write this with much respect and gratitude.
The first skater to successfully throw a quad in competition was Canadian Kurt Browning in 1988. Petr Barna of Czechoslovakia won the Bronze with a quad in the 1992 Olympics. Heiss coached the first skater to land 3 quads and the first 3-salchow, Timothy Goebel who took the 2002 Olympic Bronze, but she did not create the quad.
@@waynehentley4332 I don't know. I read it in an article about her accomplishments but I suspect they meant she coached the first American to complete one in competition.
I was 13 years old when I watched this on tv, spellbound. It made a huge impression on me and I fell in love with skating. After watching this I would go out and skate on the frozen river behind my house in Michigan in the winters. When I grew up my love for skating continued and I took my daughter to an ice show; after seeing it she wanted to skate so I started her in skating lessons when she was 5. She went on to become a 5 time US Champion and a 2002 Olympian. So thank you Carol for being a mesmerizing and beautiful skater in these 1960 Olympics.
When I went to Nationals in Providence Rhode Island in the 70s can't remember the exact year I actually met Carol Heiss Jenkins in the women's bathroom and got to talk to her. She was amazing and very gracious. She and Janet Lynn we're actually sitting two rows behind my friend and I.
Me too....I think Carol Heiss was the first skater I really remember and she started my love of ice skating. I think she was far more interesting than some who followed her. I'm a 1950 baby too.
Carol Heiss was one of the most influential skaters for women's figure skating ever. Her attention to detail is impressive, and variety in her moves was so very inventive. She was doing moves at least ten or fifteen years ahead of her era. Her influence on Janet Lynn and Dorothy Hamill is quite obvious.
I almost can't believe that she could jump axels in both directions and one after the other too! Being able to see this video is a dream come true to me. I was in fifth grade in 1960 and my teacher, who was a German war bride, used Carol's last name to teach us something about German pronunciation, "Heiss rhymes with ice." This is wonderful! Thank you soooo much.
Carol Heiss Jenkins was indeed ahead of her time, and skaters today can learn something from just watching her grace, carriage, and ease of skating. Sometimes less is more!
Wow...so interesting. I counted eight Axels, no Lutzes and no toe loops. The whole skate was really enchanting. Plus, some of the music Carol used is the same that Peggy Fleming used in her 1967-1968 seasons.
This was a very different time in skating. It wasn't about feats of athleticism in jumping but rather about beautiful and technically perfect skating. A large component of the scoring was mandatory figures, where skaters where required to skate shapes on the ice and the judges would inspect them to see who had the most precisely controlled skating. That was removed as athleticism became the focus instead.
I think her programs were very engaging for the 1950's, especially when compared to some of the less highly ranked skaters of the era. However...by today's standards, I do agree that there's a lot less going on!
Carol was an 'ambidextrous' jumper which is very hard! :) After watching both I would say Tenley Albright was the better 'all around' skater with a balletic style, better expression and choreography while Carol was more of the 'athletic' style of skater.
In the 1968 Grenoble Olympics, Janet Lynn did double salchows in both directions that were intertwined with her musical interpretation (Afternoon of a Faun). Janet also did walleys in both directions in all her programs. czcams.com/video/jukiKL0di58/video.html - @ 2:54 and 3:02. Carol executed her alternating axels with a lot more speed than what Janet did with the salchows, making that even more impressive for Heiss at least 8 years earlier than Grenoble.
Her limbs don't seem as close to her body as they could be, and while she's rotating in the air, she seems bent... BUT switching directions between jumps is insane! She's riveting to watch!
After her amateur days, including five consecutive world titles, Carol Heiss was considered beautiful enough to carry on with Sonja Henie's tradition. Carol showcased her acting non-talent by starring in the epic movie, Snow White and the Three Stooges, which began and ended her movie career: czcams.com/video/kPQuiuWvfvg/video.html
@Chutson353 Her spiral is beuatiful indeed but easier to do and maintain the position for three second than the variant which the leg is perpendicular with the ice. So while I agree with what you say that her spiral is beautiful, I still go for perpendicular cause it's harder to do.
The spiral naturally progressed. That is sport. I'm sure Mrs. Heiss-Jenkins herself teaches her young female skaters to perform the spiral in perpendicular attitude if they have the flexibility. It's the 2000's not the 1950's unfortunately we can't turn back the clock.
Очень. Стиль катания напомнил мне Линду Фратианни. Может быть Фрэнк Кэрролл ориентировался на программы Хэйсс, когда готовил Линду. Не знаю, но похожи. Очень красивое катание.

Wow - I had never seen jumps done left and right before, way cool, and in 1960 too!
you have to do that to past the tests....some people just kept it in their programs...Michele Kwan did spins both ways as well..
Yes but these are single axels I think, so for modern days skaters this would be very easy

Unusual, she spins one way and jumps the other way. I've never seen this before.
I have seen it a few times.
Clockwise - anti clockwise double axels!!!! Am I dreaming!!! So gorgeous!!!!
Single axels, not double. Remarkable nonetheless
Сильное впечатление. Очень женственно, музыкально, прекрасное катание, легкость и продуманность каждого движения.

The most influential was Tonya Harding. Without her, nobody would care about figure skating.

I don't think it's fair to compare Carol to today's skaters. She was ahead of her time. Remember, she was the first woman to do a double axel.
Excellent!!

+Jason Edwards I so appreciate your comments about Ms. Carol Heiss.Jenkins.
@J.J. Edwards Used by Peggy? What part of the routine? The Axel?🤔🤔
The music
Wow...so interesting. I counted eight Axels, no Lutzes and no toe loops. The whole skate was really enchanting. Plus, some of the music Carol used is the same that Peggy Fleming used in her 1967-1968 seasons.
I saw a flip? A near fall on a double Salchow? A double Axel?🤔🤔

@Chutson353 ya don't know since at this point she was also a four time World Champion - and claimed a fifth after winning Gold in Squaw Valley.

I am not a figure skater but I enjoyed her series of jumps. None looked forced. Very beautiful skater.
If she skated today judges would ping her hard for waving her arms around during cross overs. 😂
Nonsense!! That was 1960. She obviously wouldn't skate like that today. Her students don't. The sport has evolved! Geez!!!😅😅😅

A near fall-she had to put her hands down.
What are the jumps she’s doing???? I’ve never seen that before!
Single Axels to the right and to the left down the length of the rink.
😱😱😱❤️😱😱❤️❤️❤️ i can duet
Transitions weren't really emphasized back in the day. Even the choreo evolved.

А мне она похожа на Загитову в юные годы. Ну вернее Загитова на нее))) такие же хоккейные пробежки,высокий темп и прыгучесть.
А о чем танец?бабка ёжка на метле?😃
I think Tenley Albright had better style. Heiss's skating looked messy.
