At the 1911 championship in Vienna, she caused a stir by bringing a military band along to play during her free skating program,[5][6] which included a "clear interpretation"[7] of the music she used, even though the use of music during international figure skatine competitions was rare at the time.

[4] She was inducted into the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 1997.
