Dorothy Hamill
Olympic Hall of Fame
I think the reason I won the Olympics was sheer perseverance. Not because I was certainly more talented than anybody else. I worked as hard as I could. I was always the first one on the ice and the last one off. I'm just one of those people that has to be overtrained and overworked before I can do my best. That's unlike a lot of my friends and colleagues today. But so, you know, it was just sheer perseverance. I was not the most talented, still am not the most talented. Whatever I've done has just come through hard work really, and the love of it and the passion for it.

Scott Hamilton
Olympic Hall of Fame
I went for two years with Ice Capades, and they didn't know how to produce me or anything else. I ended up kind of having to produce myself because they never had to do that before. And then they called me in and they said, "We've just been sold and the gentleman who bought the Ice Capades feels that only a woman will sell tickets and he wishes you well." Basically saying, time for you to find a job somewhere else. And so, once again, the adversity, I had to find a way of reinventing something and I created a show with the help of International Management Group that became, now 10 years later, Stars on Ice. And it's huge, and it's changed figure skating, as the professional ranks and the integrity that I brought -- I don't like bragging, I don't mean to-- to the professional side of the sport like it'd never been done before.
