"We believe Hanyu could win the gold because Daisuke Takahashi, the ace in Japan’s men’s figure skating, paved the way to the world for the other Japanese figure skaters."
The Japan News, February 2014
Dorothy Stuart Hamill (born July 26, 1956, Chicago, Illinois) is an American figure skater and 1976 Olympic champion.
Hamill was born in Chicago, but her family moved to Greenwich, Connecticut shortly after where she spent the rest of her childhood. She has a brother and a sister.
Hamill started ice skating when she was eight years old on her grandparent's backyard pond. Her skates were too big, so her grandmother would put stuffing in the toes to make them fit. She asked her mother if she could have lessons so she could learn to skate backwards. Her mother said yes.
Hamill was U.S. champion from 1974 through 1976. She is credited with developing a new skating move; a camel spin that turns into a sit spin, which became known as the "Hamill camel." The bobbed hairstyle that she wore during her Olympic performance started a fad. A Dorothy Hamill doll was made in 1977.
Hamill made her big breakthrough at the 1974 World Championships in Munich, Germany. She was in 3rd place after the compulsory figures and the short program. She was set to skate directly after the German skater whose marks were mercilessly booed while Hamill was already on the ice. Visibly upset, she left the ice and burst into tears. After the crowd settled down, she returned to the ice and skated a perfect and inspiring program; almost winning the gold medal, but capturing silver behind Christine Errath of East Germany.
Hamill won silver again at the World Championships in 1975 at Colorado Springs, Colorado behind Dianne de Leeuw of the Netherlands but ahead of Errath. In 1976, Hamill switched boots to skate the compulsory figures better (she had been wearing special boots created by Carlo Fassi that did not seem to be helping her). At the Olympics, Hamill came in second in the figures and then won the short and long programs, taking the gold medal ahead of de Leeuw and Errath who came in second and third, respectively. She also won the world championships that year and then turned professional.
Hamill was an Ice Capades headliner from 1977-1984; she bought the financially-strapped company in 1993 but sold it to Pat Robertson's International Family Entertainment, Inc. soon after.
Hamill went on to write a book, On and Off the Ice. She was married and divorced twice: to the late Dean Paul Martin (1982 - 1984), and then to Kenneth Forsythe (1987 - 1995), with whom she had a daughter named Alexandra. Dorothy and her daughter reside in suburban Baltimore, where she occasionally conducts figure skating classes. She was a judge on the 2006 Fox television show Skating With Celebrities.
Hamill continues to skate in shows, and when asked when she will stop, says "never".

Short on money,
But long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And i'm running late,
And i don't need an excuse,
'cause i'm wearing my brand new shoes.
c'est la vie

daca tot vorbeam despre legende , m-am uitat pe lista World Figure Skating Hall of Fame. ma simt rusinata dar sunt o gramda de nume de care nu am auzit niciodata.

"Nobody objects to a woman being a good writer or sculptor or geneticist if at the same time she manages to be a good wife, good mother, good looking, good tempered, well groomed and unaggressive."
Ati auzit vreodata de Caryn Kadavy (USA)? Am citit azi pe un blog despre ea; nu e chiar in categoria "legende" dar are un bronz mondial in 1987 cot la cot cu Katarina Witt. Este in schimb trecuta in categoria "printesele ghetii", mama ei a fost prim-balerina, si a avut ca antrenor pe Carlo Fassi care a antrenat-o si pe Peggy Fleming. Nu imi aduc aminte de ea sau de programele ei, dar acum ca le-am descoperit imi plac mult.

"Cand simt nevoia de maretie, la Yagudin ma intorc."
Multumim mult pentru recomandare! Eu am auzit de ea, cred ca mama stie chiar mai multe, poate si-o aduce si aminte, dar mai mult de nume nu stiam cine a fost sau pentru ce tara a patinat!

Inegalabilul Yagudin: SP din 2002 ( pt mine unul din cele mai frumoase SP din istorie)
MITIM:
Lawrence of Arabia:
Maria Butyrskaya: Otonal (1999):

P.S. Ile, sper ca macar o parte din programe sa-ti placa
