Sample Questions
Olympics
Name the American figure skater who won four straight U.S. men's championships in the 1980s and capped off that run with a gold medal at the Olympics. He turned professional shortly after winning the gold medal, and his later career included television commentating on figure skating and a cameo in the film Blades of Glory. He was able to return to the Olympics years later due to a rule passed by the International Skating Union allowing competitors to regain amateur status, but did not medal.
