Her tally of five medals (2 Silver, 3 Bronze) at the 1992 Olympics was the most medals won by a US athlete.

Scott Hamilton
The most popular and beloved male figure skating star in the world, Scott Hamilton is also a network TV skating commentator, an actor, performer, producer, Emmy Award nominee, best-selling author, role model, humanitarian, philanthropist, and a cancer and brain tumor survivor.
Scott contradicts the saying that "good guys finish last." As a humanitarian and philanthropist, he avails himself to any plight that will improve mankind. But, more important, as a cancer and brain tumor survivor, he is constantly reminding others that, with fortitude and determination, anything is possible. Scott's bout with testicular cancer in 1997, and his November 2004 diagnosis of a benign pituitary brain tumor (from which he is successfully recovering), were not the only times he had faced such adversity. Scott has also become a much sought after motivational speaker at various events throughout the country, speaking to a wide variety of groups on a variety of inspirational subjects. His motto, "The only disability in life is a bad attitude," which made worldwide headlines in 1997, rings true to this very day.
Scott appears regularly on television. He hosted Fox’s reality series "Skating with Celebrities" this past season. He recently made a guest appearance on ABC’s prime time game show, "Wanna Bet?" and was a celebrity juror on the nationally syndicated, "Jury Duty." He provided voice-over and appeared live in an episode of "Fairly Odd Parents." He is a popular guest on national news shows like the Today Show, and entertainment news programs such as Access Hollywood, Inside Edition, The Insider, Extra!, E! Entertainment, the TV Guide Channel, and Entertainment Tonight; and in various national news publications like People Magazine.
Scott made his motion picture debut in On Edge, a hilarious 2001 mockumentary of figure skating, and in March of 2007, and Scott starred in the recent, mega box office hit, motion picture comedy Blades of Glory with Will Ferrell and Jon Heder .
As an author, Scott received notable critical praise for his New York Times best-selling autobiography Landing It (Kensington Books, October 1999), an intimate, candid and insightful look at his professional and personal life on and off the ice. His new inspirational book, The Great Eight will be published by Thomas Nelson Publishing in January, 2009.
Scott does exclusive speaking engagements over twenty-five times a year. He has inspired audiences at various events throughout the country, speaking to a wide variety of groups and organizations about his life and overcoming cancer. Never ceasing to impress, his clarity about living the life he’s been given, has inspired audiences from as small as 500 to as large as 15,000 at numerous engagements for such organizations as Hilton Hotels, Bank of America, John Hancock Financial Network, MassMutual, Healthcare Management Systems, Institute for International Research, Elekta, Inc., America's Second Harvest, the Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, Liberty Mutual, Peak Vista Community Health Centers’ annual "Breakfast of Champions," the Toledo Children’s Hospital, the James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, Goshen Health Systems, the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, St. Vincent Oncology Center, Pituitary Network Association, University of St. Thomas Lecture Series, Robert Wood Johnston University, the University of Chicago Hospital, the American Society of Health-Systems Pharmacists, the Congress of Oncology Nurses, Kansas City Life, Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, CanCare of Houston, Inc., Nationwide Mutual Insurance, and the Million Dollar Round Table.
From 1986-2001, audiences saw Scott perform in his own Scott Hamilton's America Tour, with numerous U.S. symphony orchestras, and 15 national touring seasons in Stars On Ice, which he also co created and, for which, he served as co producer until his retirement from the tour in April 2001. Since then, he returned to Stars on Ice as a Special Guest Star in select cities for two seasons thereafter, and continues to be the creative producing force behind each annual production.
In 1986 and 1987, he also toured the country as co-headliner in the proscenium theater production of Festival on Ice highlighted by a two-week engagement at the Opera House of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
Festival on Ice was such a national success that it was immediately followed by Broadway on Ice, a 1989 "book" show specially written to showcase Scott’s many talents -- which also served as his "musical theatre and acting" debut.
During a fourteen-year tenure with the CBS Television Network as one of their most articulate sports analysts, Scott’s coverage of the figure skating competition at the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan, the 1994 Olympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway, and the 1992 Games in Albertville, France, were heralded as incisive, exuberant and refreshing. Scott was highly praised for his NBC Television Network commentating and coverage of figure skating at the Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, and at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Torino, Italy, as well his co-hosting of the NBC-produced show titled Olympic Ice which aired on the USA Network nightly during the 2006 Winter Games.
Scott has recently signed a three year exclusive agreement with NBC Sports to cover all of their skating broadcasts including the upcoming winter Olympics in 2010.
Six weeks after his birth on August 28, 1958, Scott was adopted by Ernest and Dorothy Hamilton. When Scott was about two, he contracted a mysterious illness that caused him to stop growing. For the next six years, doctors prescribed a variety of unsuccessful treatments. After his illness was mistakenly diagnosed as cystic fibrosis and he was given six months to live, the Hamilton’s took their son to Children's Hospital in Boston where his ailment began to correct itself by special diet and moderate exercise. From the beginning, Scott skated with great confidence and uncommon speed. He began taking formal lessons, joined a hockey team and within a year, his illness disappeared and he began growing again although he would always be considerably smaller than his peers. His miraculous recovery was attributed to the effects of intense physical activity in the cold atmosphere of the rink.
At thirteen, he began training with Pierre Brunet, a former Olympic gold medal winner and, despite steady progress, abruptly quit competitive skating in 1976 due to financial struggles and enrolled at Bowling Green. But before he began classes, an anonymous couple who had supported other Olympic hopefuls volunteered to sponsor Scott. He immediately resumed training.
By 1980, he earned a solid fifth place finish at the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid. Then in March of 1981, Scott's dazzling free skate program at the World Championships enabled him to win the title, only the second American to do so since 1970. Later that same year, he took an individual gold medal at the first Skate America tournament and was voted Male Athlete of the Year by the United States Olympic Committee.
Scott held onto his national and world titles in 1982 and 1983. As the winner of sixteen consecutive championships after the 1980 Winter Olympics, he was heavily favored to take the Gold medal at the 1984 Olympic Games in Sarajevo, and that is precisely what he did, despite an uncharacteristically tentative free skating routine. A month later, he went on to score a stunning victory at the World Championships in Ottawa, Canada. Shortly thereafter, in April of 1984, Scott turned professional after being inundated with
lucrative contracts from the major ice shows. The Ice Capades secured his superstar talents for two years.
In 1987, the United States Olympic Committee awarded him the first Olympic Spirit Award given for the 1984 Winter Games.
His October 1997 comeback to skating (preceded by a People Magazine cover story profiling his courageous battle against cancer and Maria Shriver's highly-rated profile of Scott for NBC's Dateline) was capped by the live CBS Television Network Special Scott Hamilton: Back on the Ice. By all accounts, the event was one of the most emotional and riveting evenings of the year. His life has also been profiled by the A&E Network’s Biography series, and E! Entertainment’s Celebrity Biography series.
In March of 1988, Scott received perhaps the second most important award in his career from the International Skating Union. This institutional governing body of all world amateur competitions presented him with their highest recognition of merit, the Jacques Favart Award. A most prestigious honor, he became the award's first solo male recipient.
To add to a remarkable list of achievements, which now includes over 70 titles, awards and honors, in 1990, Scott was inducted into the United States Olympic Hall of Fame. In that same year, he also became a privileged member of the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame.
In 1997, Scott was the recipient of yet another distinguished honor when on March 14th in front of a sold out crowd of 17,000 at Madison Square Garden, he became the first figure skater ever to be inducted into the Madison Square Garden Walk of Fame. Scott is now in the permanent company of such luminaries as Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, the Rolling Stones, and Frank Sinatra.
On December 14, 2002, at a small, very private ceremony held in Malibu, CA, Scott married former nutritionist, Tracie Robinson. It was the first marriage for both. On September 16, 2003, Tracie gave birth to the couple’s first child, Aidan McIntosh Hamilton. Their second child, Maxx Thomas Hamilton was born January 21, 2008.
When he is not working or performing or participating in a wide variety of charitable events, or acting as an official spokesperson for Target House at St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, as well as his own Scott Hamilton C.A.R.E.S. Initiative (Cancer Alliance for Research, Education and Survivorship) at the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Center in Cleveland, Ohio, or promoting his web site Chemocare.com (in conjunction with the Cleveland Clinic and CARES), or serving on the Board of Directors for Special Olympics, Scott can be found on the golf course and enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons at their home in Nashville, Tennessee.
Mary Lou Retton
Mary Lou Retton catapulted to international fame by winning the All-Around Olympic Gold Medal in women's gymnastics at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, becoming the first American woman ever to win a gold medal in gymnastics. She also won silver medals for Team and Vault, and bronze medals for Uneven Bars and Floor Exercise. Her five medals were the most won by any athlete at the '84 Olympics.
In addition to this, other gymnastics victories achieved by Mary Lou include being the only woman to win three American Cups (1983-85), the only American to win Japan's prestigious Chunichi Cup (1983), two U.S. Gymnastics Federation American Classics (1983, 84), and the All-Around title at both the 1984 National Championships and Olympic Trials. Mary Lou retired from competitive gymnastics in 1986.
But after 20 years into retirement, Mary Lou is still winning awards for her gymnastics legacy. In 1994, the U.S. Olympic Committee established the Mary Lou Retton Award, granted for athletic excellence. She was also honored with the Flo Hyman Award in 1995, the annual award given between 1987 and 2004 to a female sportsperson who excels in athletic performance and charitable activism. And in 2000, Mary Lou was inducted into the World Sports Hall of Fame, an organization that annually recognizes world-class individuals with athletic ability, who act as role models in their community and have a strong record of humanitarian efforts.
Today, she continues to touch the lives of millions. A national sports survey found Mary Lou to be the most popular athlete in America. She is in great demand as a motivational speaker and corporate spokesperson and also travels the world as a "Fitness Ambassador" promoting the benefits of proper nutrition and regular exercise. Mary Lou serves as national chairperson and sits on the Board of Governors of the Children's Miracle Network. She was a commentator for NBC at the '88 Olympic Games and wrote a daily column for USA Today at the '92 and '96 Olympics. At the '96 Olympics in Atlanta, Mary Lou also served as an on air reporter for Gannett Broadcasting's NBC affiliates, the largest NBC affiliate group in the United States. In addition, she co-hosted the weekly television series Road to Olympic Gold.
Mary Lou has appeared in the motion pictures Scrooged and Naked Gun 33 1/3. She has made appearances on numerous television shows including Guiding Light, Knots Landing, and Dream On, and guest starred in one of the highest rated episodes of the series Baywatch.

dancing team to win an Olympic medal since 1976. The
duo began skating together in 1998, and qualified to be

the duo has continued to make their mark in the sport,

Founded in 2003 by Nichole Hancock, our signature program is the first ever Shades of Pink Breast Cancer Survivors Mass Choir. The choir is comprised of over 70 breast cancer survivors from all over North Georgia . Under the direction of Vivian Varner the group has been inspiring audiences all over the country for nearly three years. The vision of the Choir is prove that there is life after a cancer diagnosis by offering program that allows breast cancer survivors to celebrate their survival through song. This unique type of music therapy soothes the soul, by allowing one to testify through song how "they survived their storm." Susan Polis Schultz states, "Music transcends barriers among people." Music is a universal language that has the ability to reach a wide variety of individuals regardless of age, ability, or cultural background. Because of its versatility we have chosen to incorporate music and song as an instrument to increase awareness and education about breast cancer. Research has also shown that music therapy can also help people who have had cancer to feel less anxious and more relaxed, as well as feel less pain, which in turn can improve the overall quality of life for many of our members and other survivors. The Choir has performed for over 200,000 people across the country at over 50 venues since May 2004. For more information, visit www.shadesofpink.org.
