http://library.preservice.org/T0110467/Sports.html

Extractions: In 1961, the entire United States Figure Skating team was killed in a plane crash on its way to the Prague World Championships. Peggy Fleming was eleven years old and her coach was one of those killed. With all of her role models gone, it would be up to her to create an image of style and grace that would carry her to five U.S. Titles, three World Titles, and in 1968 to an Olympic Gold Medal. ABC televised the 1968 Winter Games live and in color for the first time ever, and the enduring image from that coverage will always be of Peggy's free-skating program. It was a program that won her the Gold Medal by 88.2 points over her closest competitor, and it would be the only Gold Medal the United States brought home from Grenoble. That image, televised by satellite, of a young woman in a chartreuse dress fulfilling her dream as a nation watched, was the beginning of a long and mutually satisfying relationship with television. Six months after those Olympics, Peggy would star in the first of five TV specials. Her Sun Valley Special won two Emmy Awards, and in 1973, her fourth special became the first joint production by Soviets and Americans filmed entirely in the USSR. Her career has continued to expand, not only in television appearances ranging from "Diagnosis Murder" and "Newhart" to hosting a special on poaching in East Africa, but also into commercial endorsements. The diversity of Peggy Fleming's marketing development set the standard for today's generations of figure skaters. Because of her continuing popularity, corporations have come to realize the universal appeal of her sport, and Peggy remains its graceful symbol and most identifiable personality.

http://www.hickoksports.com/biograph/blairbon.shtml

Extractions: Alpha Index Index by Sport Index of Women Blair began in short-track speed skating, which has a whole pack of skaters racing around a track. When she was sixteen, she began Olympic style racing, in which only two skaters are on the track, racing against time rather than against one another. In 1982, Blair was advised to compete in Europe to sharpen her skills, but had difficulty raising money for the trip. The police department of Champaign, IL, where she was living, held a series of raffles and bake sales on her behalf, and Jack Sikma of the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks donated $1,500 to the cause. Blair gained much-needed experience in Olympic style speed skating during her European tour. Blair won the U. S. indoor title in 1983, 1984, and 1986, and was the North American indoor champion in 1985. She became a definite Olympic contender by setting a world record of 39.43 seconds in the 500-meter event at the 1987 worlds. At the 1988 Olympics, Blair set another world record to win a gold medal in the 500-meter event. After winning the world over-all sprint title in 1989, she finished second in 1990 and third in 1991 and entered the 1992 Olympics as a favorite in the 500-meter and a strong contender in the 1,000-meter. She won both, becoming the first skater ever to win two consecutive gold medals in the 500-meter sprint, and she received the Sullivan Award as the nation's outstanding amateur athlete.
