BIC PENS-Famous ballpoint pen TV Commercial

This was probably the most famous Bic Pen commercial of the early 1960s where famed ice skater, Aja Zanova, attaches a BIC to her skate proving that
"Bic writes first time, every time!"

Oh my God! I remember this ad from when I was a kid! :D

I remember this. Haven't seen it in over a half century.

The skater was Aja Zanova. She actually WAS a world champion figure skater.

Also, she made headlines in the 1950s by defecting to the West from what was then Czechoslovakia. She was 19 years old.

She died in New York at age 84.

Didn't they have one where a big game hunter shot one out of his rifle and into a board?

Looking at the way it was attached... did that ballpoint even touch the ice once after she took off?

I hate commercials, I literally hit at 5 seconds Everytime. I only wish I had a 5 sec select back then.
