Biography

Representing "Oslo Skøiteklub" (Oslo Skating Club), Lie became Norwegian Allround Champion in 1933 after having already won the unofficial Norwegian Allround Championships the year before. At the unofficial 1933 World Allround Championships, she won silver, something she would repeat in 1935, while in 1934, she won bronze. In 1936, the World Allround Championships became official and Lie won the bronze medal there. In 1937, she would win silver and in 1938 bronze again.

Personal records

To put these personal records in perspective, the "WR" column lists the official world records on the dates that Lie skated her personal records.

Note that Lie's personal records on the 1,000 m, the 3,000 m, and the 5,000 m were not world records because in all three cases Laila Schou Nilsen skated faster at the same tournament. Nilsen's respective times were 1:38.8, 5:29.6, and 9:28.3. Also note that the "Old combination" was not an official world record event, as governed by the International Skating Union, until 1949.
