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."
