Beatrix Schuba (born April 15, 1951) was an Austrian figure skater. Figure skating is an ice skating sporting event where individuals, mixed couples, or groups perform spins, jumps, and other moves on the ice, often to music. ...
The XI Olympic Winter Games were held in 1972 in Sapporo, Japan. ...

She won the European and World championships in 1971 and 1972 and was the Olympic gold medallist at the 1972 Sapporo games. She was especially noted for her skill in performing compulsory figures. In fact, some say that in the compulsory figures, she was the best ever. 1971 (MCMLXXI) was a common year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1971 calendar). ...

Compulsory figures or school figures were a former aspect of the sport of figure skating, from which its name (in English) derives. ...
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. However, compulsory figures were not watched by television spectators. The free skate was widely televised, however, and viewers expressed frustration that the enchanting American skater Janet Lynn and the Canadian skater Karen Magnussen skated so well and yet placed behind Schuba, who did not skate her free program nearly as well. Janet Lynn Nowicki, known athletically as Janet Lynn, is a skater and an Olympic bronze medalist. ...
Karen Diane Magnussen (born April 4, 1952) is a Canadian figure skater. ...
To counter the growing criticism, in 1973, the importance of compulsory figures was diminished, and a new 'short program' was introduced, which required skaters to perform mandatory jumps, spins, and footwork elements. However, Schuba retired from amateur skating after the 1971-72 competitive season, so the new changes did not have an impact on her amateur career.
