Fuller FRA Monique Georgelin JPN 1870 Kinuko Ueno GDR Helga Wiecki GBR Geoffrey Yates Ladies The results of the women's free skate caused an uproar in the arena and were one step towards the demise of compulsory figures. Janet Lynn skated a clean free skate that was well-loved by the crowd, and she placed first in that segment with scores ranging from 5.8 to 6.0; however, due to her scores in the compulsory figures segment of the competition, which were not aired on television, she could not advance to a medal position despite her performance. Coverage on the Wide World of Sports showed Lynn looking at the medalist stand. The crowd in the arena booed; Pierre Brunet, a well-known coach, approached Lynn and told her to take a bow to appease the spectators, a move she later regretted as distracting from the medalists: "I have not been in touch with Karen or Trixi, but I've apologized to Julie for that because it was wrong for me to do that. I was a young girl; I should have had better judgment and said no, but my superiors told me that's what I needed to do."Lawrence Kelli Skating on air: the broadcast history of an Olympic marquee sport 2011 McFarland 978-0-7864-4608-7 Jefferson, NC Rank Name CP FP Points Placings 1 AUT Beatrix Schuba 1 7 2763.0 10 2 USA Julie Holmes 2 5 2697.3 24.5 3 CAN Karen Magnussen 4 2 2697.7 27 4 USA Janet Lynn 5 1 2680.0 34 5 ITA Rita Trapanese 3 8 2623.6 47.5 6 GDR Sonja Morgenstern 9 3 2606.6 52 7 HUN Zsuzsa Almássy 6 4 2599.9 57 8 SWI Charlotte Walter 8 14 2480.7 83 9 GDR Christine Errath 13 6 2493.5 86 10 USA Suna Murray 14 9 2475.0 91 11 URS Yelena Aleksandrova 10 13 2450.5 100 12 GBR Patricia Dodd 7 16 103 13 JPN 1870 Kazumi Yamashita 12 11 116 14 TCH Ľudmila Bezáková 11 15 122 15 GBR Jean Scott 15 10 132 16 CAN Diane Hall 19 12 132 17 SWE Anita Johansson 16 18 145 18 FRG Judith Beyer 20 17 159 19 CAN Ruth Hutchinson 17 20 168 20 AUT Sonja Balun 22 19 177 21 FRA Joëlle Cartaux 18 22 188 22 ITA Cinzia Frosio 21 21 197 Referee: TCH Josef Dědič Assistant Referee: ITA Sonia Bianchetti Judges: FRG Eva von Gamm AUT Ludwig Gassner CAN Barbara Graham GDR Walburga Grimm HUN Éva György URS Nonna Nestogina ru Картавенко, Нонна Алексеевна SWE Elof Niklasson ITA Giorgio Siniscalco USA Mary Wright Pairs Rank Name SP FP Points Placings 1 URS Irina Rodnina / Aleksey Ulanov 2 1 419.4 11 2 URS Lyudmila Smirnova / Andrey Suraykin 1 2 418.9 17 3 USA Alicia Starbuck / Kenneth Shelley 3 3 410.3 29 4 GDR Manuela Groß / Uwe Kagelmann 4 4 404.1 37 5 FRG Almut Lehmann / Herbert Wiesinger 5 5 399.7 48 6 USA Melissa Militano / Mark Militano 6 6 394.9 56 7 GDR Annette Kansy / Axel Salzmann 8 7 392.3 62 8 URS Galina Karelina / Georgiy Proskurin 6 8 387.9 76 9 CAN Sandra Bezic / Val Bezic 9 9 384.1 80 10 POL 1928 Grażyna Osmańska / Adam Brodecki 11 10 381.0 88 11 USA Barbara Brown / Doug Berndt 12 11 98 12 FRG Brunhilde Baßler / Eberhard Rausch 10 12 104 13 GBR Linda Connolly / Colin Taylforth 13 13 118 14 FRA Florence Cahn / Jean-Roland Racle 14 14 121 15 JPN 1870 Kotoe Nagasawa / Hiroshi Nagakubo 17 15 137 16 SWI Karin Künzle / Christian Künzle 18 16 146 17 POL 1928 Teresa Skrzek / Piotr Szczypa 16 17 149 WD AUT Evelyne Schneider / Wilhelm Bietak 15 DNF Referee: SWI Karl Enderlin Assistant Referee: FRA Néri Valdes Judges: GBR Pamela Davis USA Norman E.
