  Beatrix Schuba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beatrix Schuba (born April 15, 1951) was an Austrian figure skater.
Schuba's victory at the 1972 Winter Olympics proved the catalyst for diminishing the importance of compulsory figures in figure skating competition.
Schuba won the Olympic title despite a lackluster free skate because of the points she racked up in the compulsory figures portion of the competition, which counted for 50% of the overall score at that time.

 Karen Magnussen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While both were competent at the compulsory figures, they were outshone by Beatrix Schuba, the great Austrian skater and 1972 Olympic Champion in Ladies' Figure Skating, who is acknowledged to be the best practitioner of the school figures in the entire history of the sport.
The uproar from television audiences worldwide, who had largely seen only the freeskate and not the dull, lengthy, and tedious-to-watch school figures component, catalyzed a growing dissatisfaction within the sport's governing body over the prominence of the school figures.
As the sport sought greater appeal to a wider television audience, it was felt that the school figures confused and turned off the potential viewing audience, who would tune in to see a freeskating component of a competition, only to see the best freeskaters place behind others who had excelled in the school figures.

There used to be figure skating in figure skating, but then Beatrix "Trixie" Schuba of Austria came along.
Schuba, though probably a good person and kind to animals, was a, shall we say, big-boned skater who performed with the on-ice grace of Dick Butkus.
So by the time America's Janet Lynn wowed the crowd with her free skating performance, she was hopelessly behind Schuba and had to settle for bronze.
