Don Jackson - 1962 World Figure Skating champion - Prague

In 1962 Don Jackson stunned the skating world by winning the World Figure Skating Championship with one of the greatest performances of all time, receiving 7 perfect scores. A record that stands to this date
Dick Button was hilarious. Seeing him that wound up in later years over anyone's long program just didn't happen.
"...into a jump!" always makes me laugh. I'm not sure why. Dick is always such an animated speaker.
Donald had one of the best free programs of all time and an action packed full 5 minutes long!
He did some amazing jumps, turns, and spins that I've never seen before. Athletic and artistic excellence ... all while wearing a suit and tie. Incredible!
He had enough height for three revolutions for almost EVERY double-revolution jump including double Axels! He almost finished rotating when reaching the highest position. His rotation was fast enough actually.
Fantastický výkon
Thank you so much for uploading this. What a magnificent performance and so many groundbreaking elements. Of course the triple lutz was stunning as well as the arm variations on the jumps and the axels in both directions. I adore his edge work as well.
Pulling out of scratch spin-Wow
I couldn't stop watching this!!!! Had to watch it twice!
Прекрасное исполнение .Как смотрится элегантно и реально настоящее мужское катание !Здорово !
I never knew that a 3axel was landing in competition before a 3 Lutz was landed. Interesting
Эталон мужского катания!!!
Fantastic bravo 🙏👏👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I'm amazed that he managed to spin that fast with the tiny ice surface available. Pretty damn good for almost 25 years after his world championship.
"I think you did it for yourself." That's right Dick. You put him in his place. 😛
Wonderful performance paved the way for today’s skating
It's interesting how skaters back in the days were able to do the difficult doubles and triples without crossing their legs in the air. Dick Button did cross his legs for his 2axels and 3loop though.
Def would’ve done quads
Love one foot axel🥰
Dang! We love his skates too
An exhsusting 5:00 long program opening with a brilliant deep outside edge 3Lutz, jam packed with jumps in both directions, a 3Salchow in the last minute, great spins, great footwork, transitions in and out of every element and ... he is not even winded ... crazy good 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great speed and some unusual field moves. The jump out of the spin was brilliant. This performance holds up and feels exciting. Also I think this is a 5 minute program, today the long is only 4 min 10 seconds. There is a purity and beauty in this performance that is not evident today. Clean uncluttered. No phony or pretentious emoting and preening.
Wow! Beautiful performance!
I wonder what it would be like if Nathan Chen were to somehow travel back in time to these olympics. he would knock their socks off with all of his quads
⛸️ That's the point. In 1962 NO ONE had done a triple lutz. It's the 2nd most difficult jump (after the axel) because the skater jumps in the opposite direction from his/her comfort zone AND the takeoff is from a back outside edge and landing on the back outside edge of the opposite foot. Training in the 21st century is nothing like what it was in 1962. To begin with, the skates used today are nothing like the ones in 1962. Weight, materials and blades are totally different; which impacts every element of a skater's performance. These days figure skaters augment their stamina and skill-set by incorporating ballet, fitness trainers etc. None of that existed for skaters back then. There is no comparing Nathan Chen to Don Jackson. The field wouldn't be equal. AND Nathan Chen didn't have to perfect compulsory figures (stopped in 1991), which were a huge element in a skater's overall performance score. It wasn’t until 16 years later, 1978, that Swiss skater Denise Biellman (for whom the 'Biellman spin' is named), performed the 1st women's 3-lutz. A quad-lutz wasn't performed until 49 years after Don Jackson did his, when Jason Mroz performed the quad in 2011. ⛸️
Wow! Incredible! And I will never say that routines today are just about the jumps… that was a LOT of jumps!
Такой легкий
Donald was such a natural skater and humility always came with him. I think he might have been the first "modern skater" who combined athleticism with art. He set the standard for many Canadian men's world champions who followed.
The music he skated to here in 1962 is exactly the same music used in the 1976 movie “The Bad News Bears.”
Благодаря интернету я увидела это чудо. Папа рассказывал, что в 62 году в 12 ночи неожиданно включили Прагу, где Дональд Джексон трижды потряс зрителей прыжками в 3 оборота. Это был фурор--такие прыжки ещё не делали. Дональд легко мог стать Олимпийским чемпионом 64 года, но сразу после ЧМ ушёл в профессионалы, тк призовых не платили Это очень жаль!
Any language it was perfect
The 5.8s were coming from USSR?
This guy is amazing! I had never seen his performances but what a revolution in technique from Dick Button in 1948 to Don Jackson in 1962. I think if he were competing today, he could be World Champion again. I keep admiring his technique and especially his landings from his magnificent jumps. All too often we see skaters land jumps before they can stop their rotation, Don lands them on edge and continues his routine flawlessly. I am very impressed!
THAT IS A TRUE TRIPLELUTZ WOW!
I REALLY HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR THIS MAN! HE IS TRULY A"LEGEND!"😁
OMG he jumps so high that he can even to 5 :)) what a man btw: the ice rinks were smaller back then and no side panels as u can see
That was THE BEST EVER. And I mean ever!
His skating is better than of those boys of today.
I met Don Jackson at a Skate Canada competition. What a humble, kind man!
I get the feeling that if this guy was born in 1995 ish instead of 1940 that he would be right up there with the top guys now.
По-моему, его так никто и не превзошел.
Now that's a Gus Lussi Salchcow!
Many years ago I had the pleasure of having Don Jackson, Marilyn Thompson (coach of Lynn Nightingale) and the late Ossie Colson as coaches for a one week provincial skating seminar I was in charge of. One evening when we were done for the day a group of us were sitting around after the skaters had retired having a good chin wag. It was during this chat Mr. Colson made a comment along these lines: "Give me a male skater who is slightly bow legged and jumps clockwise and I'll give you a world champion" to which Don Jackson replied, "I've heard that before from my coach" who was none other than the late Sheldon Galbraith to which Mr. Colson responded with, "I rest my case."
Hey no ones talking about Jackson Ultima skates
Donald Jackson was the greatest figure skater of his generation. You know just how good he was when Dick Button (the greatest of the previous generation) called his '62 World Championship free skate program the finest performance he has ever seen.
Agreed R. Crompton. I remember as a 11 year old watching his performance in 1962 from his and my home town of Oshawa, Ontario. I just finished re-watching it and it was a perfect performance. A gentleman on and off the ice.
I watch that on RUclips of couple of days ago and he was a Phenom reminds me a lot of Scott Hamilton.
Wonderful. Thank you!
That was exciting!
SUPERB!!!
I’ve never seen something like this in figure skating. Oh my goodness, I can’t believe my eyes 😮😮😮 Just...WOW 😮
Amazing..he jumped from either direction, delayed jumps. Remember also that skates and boots were not up to today's standard, nor so supportive. He was incredibly strong.
A double salchow at that age is pretty damn amazing especially after prostate cancer. What an inspiration!
Wow, that was an exciting program. Love Dick, as usual.
