Make it about sports for the next two years please.

She was in several films - that's probably why she hasn't been entirely forgotten. When you look at her routines though, they do look pretty basic

She was a big deal, pretty - they put her in movies. Yeah, in 1924 they weren't doing triple & quad axles & back flips on ice. It was literally 'figure skating' - judged by the ice lines cut on their figures, their posture, transition. There used to be a mandatory technical test where they would cut circles, loop crossovers, back insides turns. That was abandoned about maybe 20 years ago if my memory serves me. Jumps & flips had to be 'approved' to be in a performance. Back fkips were only approved last years in some events. Watch Ilian Malinin's champion performance in the 2025 USA Men's Free Skating or Adam Siao Him Fa routines. It's evolved just like skiing, snowboarding....I love the WOs!

Me too but only beat 96%....I really think my extremely slow network connection is a scoring handicap!

I didn't even realize the Olympics were happening. It's sad. They used to be such a huge deal. International competition is so much more common now, so these athletes are competing against the same people all the time. Really sucks the excitement out of it. They're still great, but it's never going to feel the same as it once did, when there was genuine excitement about seeing how your national rep would fare against the competition. Now we all know in advance, because they do it all the time.
