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.
