WHY VAKE UP
Triple Crown the World Championship,
National Senior Title, and the North
American Championship.
Looking ahead, there is the 1960 Olym
pics at Squaw Valley, Calif., where she
will be striving for her first Olympic gold
medal. After that, perhaps Hollywood,
television, and professional ice shows.
In the 1956 Olympics at Cortina, Italy,
when only 16, she won a silver medal as
runner-up to Tenley Albright, four years
older than Carol and now retired.
Later that same Winter Miss Heiss re
taliated by winning the World's title from
Miss Albright in Germany.
A reported feud between the two girls,
blown up out of proportion in some news
papers, broke out at this meet It had
something to do with Carol acting "swell
headed" about her victory.
Most members of the press find Carol an
easy-to-talk-to, poised little charmer who
impressed everyone, including the Rus
sians, with her personality.
Of Miss Albright, Carol says, "I miss
the competition with her. I think our
rivalry was good for skating, because
people seemed more interested when we
were competing. In spite of what you may
have read, we really got along very well."
Carol had other troubles that Winter.
She was subjected to criticism because
she stayed with her mother at a hotel

additional pupils from wealthy families.
"The most coachable pupil I've ever
had. A real joy to work with. Never stops
trying to learn," Brunet says.
Unlike many athletes who gradually
work up to a short peak period, Carol
says she reaches a peak each year after
about five weeks of work and maintains
that level for six or seven months by
skating three to four hours a day.
"There are many good young skaters
coming along now who are really tough
by the time they are 19," Carol says. "The
18-21 age bracket is where you find the
best. I think by the time you hit 24 your
skill in skating is not the same, although
Sonja Henie competed until she was 29.
I hope to keep going until I'm 26."
Paying proper respect to the great
Sonja, who won three Olympic titles along
with other honors, Carol figures she has
a way to go to catch up with her.
"I really think it's harder now that I'm
on top than it was when I was trying to
get there," Carol says. "People still wish
you luck, but now they say you don't
need it. You're more alone."
Since Carol is sheer poetry in motion on
ice, it was startling to hear that she gets
butterflies before every performance.
She has even been known to make an
occasional slip, but like a great champion
she quickly recovers.
"There's no room for big shots in our

quality skaters. We know none is perfect;
so if I sound off about a jump I thought

Before her mother died, Carol promised
she would remain an amateur throughout
her college career and the 1960 Olympics,
where she has vowed she will win a gold
medal. She will be a college senior then.
Concerning the future, she will wait
until after the Olympics. Right now she
doesn't know whether it will be more
amateur competition or the start of a
professional career. Part of all her plans,
of course, are the ultimate ones for mar
riage and children.
People constantly ask Carol what she
will be doing in two years, but she has
a stopper for this question. She asks them
what they will be doing in two years.
"I never get many answers to that one,"
she laughs.
