She’s fast and graceful ! Really good selection of music, she just looked like she’s having fun . Fun is what it should be and she has that infectious smile !

Go get 'em Liz. When she skated at the Olympics, for the long program, I cried for her. I was so happy for her, and still am.

I much prefer the choreography and layout of this program at Calgary. But what a great fine. Thanks for providing this skate. It is still a good skate and those marks were deserved. 4 Triples and 2 Double Axels. And she had no idea what was to come a few months later. Won the LP and Silver medal!

The music from around 1:28 to 2:44 is stunningly beautiful. Almost haunting. I cannot find it anywhere. I hear it referred to as "A Canadian Concerto" but no luck finding it. Can anyone help? It is simply beautiful. Thanks.

@nondescriptnyc Thank you so much for the info I appreciate it. I am going to look for the song with the reference info you provided. God Bless.

Cute

@rickram1961 the music does have sort of a circus feel to it.

I just read her book Thumbs Up! She talks about this performance and she was really rattled during it. I guess the rink configuration was identical on both ends, so she did her program backwards by accident. She said everything felt weird.

I read that book too, and she mentioned in some other article, she heard a conversation that Debi Thomas coach said..."Oh don't worry about Liz, you know, she'll fall as usual"...lol..i guess he was right...thank gawd she did so well at the Olympics in Calgary

[@PhilAlumb]

With the exception of her Calgary Long..Liz always had an issue.

[@nondescriptnyc]

eddiehaskell7, I have the LP from the early1960, and it's by an obscure easy listening guy (Engelhausen or some German name...forgot what his name was exactly)--he was like Paul Mauriat, only much less famous... It was already out of print when I got it in the early 80s, so you should check those stores specializing in out-of-print LPs.
