might have a terrific anchor man,
but someone must bring him the
baton.
It's true what they say about
Ronnic Robertsonl
And then some.
The former Olympic skating
champion, star of the Ice Capadcs
al the Olympia Stadium from
Feb q through March l6). was
described in such ccstatic terms
in advance publicity that ii all
sounded too extravagant to be
believed
Now that he is here, however.
these earlier comments seem like
rrdcrstatcmcnts
He is an amazing virtuoso OF
the blades. lie can rise four feet
Ct. tie ice and cover span
Of l6 feet in his tremendous
leaps His triple Axel Paulsen
performed with flawlcss grace.
Yet lie triple Axcl, four and a
half revolutions in a single leap,
is to figure skating what the
lourminute mile was to track
His spinning is something 10
see Experts estimate that he
sifsins a peak Of 40 miles per
hour in his continuous whirIs. He
can do this for t,No solid minutes
and eon'e cut ~ IL in complete
command e his movements, al.
ways facing the audience. He
never misses, although he spins
50 f,st Re becomes blur.
Ech".lsrn has tremendous skill
am ncssc But he always has
an even rarcr quality--a consum-
mate Shownanship that makes
ms every move on the ice an
exciting event Even those who
hFc only casual knowledge
q figure skating will thrill to
hobcrtsons performance.
