About Scott Hamilton
Scott Hamilton is a retired American figure skater and Olympic gold medalist. He won a gold medal in the 1984 Winter Olympics, four consecutive World Championships (1981–84) and four consecutive U.S. championships (1981–84). His signature move, the backflip, a feat few other figure skaters could perform at the time, is against U.S. Figure Skating and Olympic competition rules. Yet, he would include it in his exhibition routines as an amateur to please the crowd. Later, he also used the backflip in his professional competition routines. He is widely recognized for his innovative footwork sequences. In retirement, he has been involved in charitable work and is the author of three books.
Family life
Hamilton was born on August 28, 1958, in Bowling Green, Ohio. He was adopted at the age of six weeks by Dorothy (née McIntosh), a professor, and Ernest S.

On November 14, 2002, he married Tracie Robinson, a nutritionist. The couple welcomed their first son in 2004 and a second son in 2008. Later in 2013, the couple adopted two orphaned brothers from Haiti. The family resides in Franklin, Tennessee. (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0)
