1965 United States Figure Skating Championships
The 1965 United States Figure Skating Championships were held at the (1932) Olympic Arena in Lake Placid, New York from February 10 to 13, 1965.
In the ladies' event, Peggy Fleming retained her title. She had placed 2nd to Christine Haigler in the compulsory figures, but Haigler fell three times in her free skate, while Fleming skated a clean program with superior connecting moves as well as clean double axel and double lutz jumps. Tina Noyes also skated a strong program with a double axel and several double jump combinations to take the bronze medal.
Gary Visconti defeated defending champion Scott Allen in the men's event, winning both the compulsory figures and free skating. Visconti skated a clean free skate with double jumps while Allen, although landing a triple salchow, fell on a triple loop and made oter mistakes. Tim Wood was third in both figures and free skating, where he landed a good triple salchow.
In the pairs and dance competitions, the 1964 champions had retired. The new pair champions were Vivian and Ronald Joseph. Both they and the second-place team Cynthia and Ronald Kauffman performed unusual pair spin variations in their free skating programs. Kristin Fortune and Dennis Sveum were the new dance champions.
