Here’s a little Rockford nostalgia for you! Janet Lynn grew up in Rockford and she is what some people would say was the greatest American skater that ever lived.

Janet Lynn won five consecutive national championships and a bronze medal at the 1972 Olympics in Sapporo, Japan. On the “Growing Up in Rockford,” Facebook page, someone shared a video of her figure skating at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships back in 1970, check it out below!
