Women’s figure skating is one of the most exciting events in the Winter Olympics. Itbecame an Olympic event in the 1924 games in France. In 1976, a nineteen-year-oldAmerican won the gold medal. Her name is Dorothy Hamill. At the time she was thegreatest skater in the world. Dorothy Hamill was born in 1956 in Chicago, Illinois. She has an older brother andsister. Shortly after she was born, Dorothy’s family moved to Connecticut. When Dorothy was eight, she went skating with her sister and a friend. She got upsetwhen the other two girls were able to skate backwards. She was unable to do that andcried about it to her mom. Mrs. Hamill signed Dorothy up for skating lessons. When she turned fourteen, Dorothy’s family took her out of school so that she couldskate more. She skated seven hours a day, six days a week. Private teachers helpedDorothy keep up with her schoolwork. Dorothy began training with a well-known skatingcoach, Carlo Fassi. Together they created Dorothy’s famous move, the “Hamill Camel.”This is a camel spin that turns into a sit spin. It was the best skating move ever created! Dorothy won three national championship medals in a row before the 1976 OlympicGames in Austria. She won the gold medal and became an idol to girls all over America.Many girls showed their love by cutting their hair in Hamill’s famous short haircut. Later in 1976, Dorothy decided to turn pro.

Hamill says she does not like to see videos of herself from her Olympic days. “I wasn’tvery good, not compared to what they can do today [or] to what I can do today. I don’tthink people realize that skaters get better as they get older.” Dorothy says of her success, “I worked as hard as I could. I was always the first oneon the ice and the last one off.” Dorothy Hamill now lives in Baltimore, Maryland, with her daughter. She became amember of The Olympic Hall of Fame in 1996.
