A blast from the past.... Don Jackson CBC interview from 1962

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

A blast from the past.... Don Jackson CBC interview from 1962

Post by Elizabeth »

It was on this day in 1962 that Don Jackson landed that historic triple lutz.

CBC Digital Archives has a video of an interview with Don a few weeks after the World Championships: http://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/don-ja ... g-champion

That was a great interview! Thank-you, Elizabeth. It was also nice to see the relaxed nature of it. Interviewing and TV anchors seem to have been much more relaxed and well spoken that they are today.
