...skater of both athletic power and aesthetic sensibility. She has a natural fizz that makes the efforts of most others look labored. In fact her coach, Jutta Muller, is a stern drillmaster who is accustomed to Olympic triumph: her daughter Gabriele Seyfert took the silver medal in 1968, and Anett Poetzsch, another pupil, was the Lake Placid gold medalist...
...land of Peggy Fleming, Dorothy Hamill, Carol Heiss and Tenley Albright, the silver-medal performance by Linda Fratianne at Lake Placid four years ago was considered a slip-up (the gold went to East German Anett Potzsch). But it is not standard for U.S. women to be fighting among themselves the way they are now; so evenly, that is.

She got a new hairdo, a nose job to repair the deviated septum that impaired her breathing, and checked in with Pat Collins, the Hip Hypnotist of Sunset Boulevard, to learn "positive reinforcement self-hypnosis." She gets up at 6:30 a.m. six days a week to travel to a rink near her Northridge, Calif., home for practice. She takes...
