Scott Hamilton

The backflips and footwork of four-time U.S. and World champion Scott Hamilton were his trademark moves. He participated in the 1980 Olympics as the flag bearer and finished in the fifth position. When Hamilton won the gold medal in the 1984 Olympics, he put a stop to a 24-year streak for men’s Olympic figure skating. In 1990, Hamilton was admitted into the American Olympic Hall of Fame. At the age of 63, Scott’s goal changed from winning gold medals to helping others. The Olympic Hall of Famer has now performed a significant amount of charitable work after going through such depressing circumstances due to his ailments. The Scott Hamilton Cares Foundation, which supports cancer patients, was established by him.
