You might be mixing up names... both Gus Lussi and Carlo Fassi have since passed away.

Wow, back in those days, there was no "kiss and cry" area, no time to absorb what happened during the performance. It was just right from the ice into the camera and a microphone shoved in your face.

I was 14 when she performed here, and had a crush on her along with Button and the rest of the world. Always loved this program. I remember another broadcast of this same program where commentary on the layback spin was compared to watching a music box. (Now that I think of it, that might've been Dick Button also.)

All world class skaters of today need to watch this - this is absolutely lovely and so well put together and wonderfully delivered. The layback is a 6.0 a million times over and the top girls today are nowhere close. The position of her spins - gosh I love her back in the sitspins, no one today is that good. Excellent footwork sequence, nice height on double axel and flying sitspin too. Dorothy - you are truly a classic. Thanks northtexasdude for posting this! :-)
