Olympic Champion Figure Skater and Cancer Survivor
The most recognized male figure skating star in the world, Scott Hamilton has earned 70 titles, numerous awards and honors including an Emmy nomination, and induction into both the United States Olympic Hall of Fame and the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame.
In 1984, Hamilton captured the attention of the world with his Olympic gold medal performances in Sarajevo and since has shared his love and enthusiasm for the sport as a analyst/commentator, performer, producer and best-selling author (Landing It, 1999; The Great Eight, 2009). He further inspires others as a speaker, as a humanitarian, and as a cancer and pituitary brain tumor survivor.
After losing his mother to cancer, then becoming a survivor himself, Hamilton turned activist, launching the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation (Cancer Alliance for Research, Education and Survivorship). He founded several education and survivorship programs including Chemocare.com and the 4th Angel Mentoring Program. Events such as Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer and Scott Hamilton & Friends galas fund research into treatments that treat the cancer and spare the patient.
He is also the founder of the Scott Hamilton Skating Academy at Ford Ice Center in Antioch, Tennessee, where he frequently coaches Learn to Skate students and shares his love of skating.
In what little free time remains, Hamilton can be found on the golf course and enjoys spending time with his wife Tracie and four children at their home outside Nashville, Tennessee.
