The Most Famous Olympic Champions of All Time – Where are They Today?

Dorothy Hamill, 64

Dorothy Hamil was born in Chicago, Illinois who is now a retired skater. She started her skating lessons at the age of 8 and got serious about this sport. Hamill is the 1976 Olympic champion and in the same year World champion in ladies singles. She also wrote two autobiographies, On and Off the Ice and A Skating Life: My Story.

However, her life was a bit of a struggle. In 2008 Hamill was diagnosed with breast cancer, and she already suffers from chronic depression, which her daughter also suffers from. This American skater now spends time with a program she started called I-Skate that allows disabled children to skate on ice.
