Scott Hamilton is the living example that "good guys CAN finish first!!" He is an Olympic Champion, television broadcaster, philanthropist, motivational speaker, author, husband, father, cancer survivor, and eternal optimist.
In 1984, Scott captured the hearts of millions of viewers worldwide with his incredible Olympic gold medal-winning performance in Sarajevo. Since then he has entertained millions more with his exciting performances, complete with backflips, artistry and humor. Considered one of the greatest male figure skaters of all time, and figure skating's voice of authority in the U.S., Scott has spent the last 30+ years providing his infectious analysis of national and global skating competitions. He also founded Stars on Ice, in which he performed for many years and which is still touring with other celebrated skating champions today.
Following his mother's passing from cancer and his own highly publicized survival of cancer, Scott launched the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation (Cancer Alliance for Research, Education and Survivorship) with a mission to improve cancer patient survivorship by supporting world class cancer research and the highest quality patient treatment and care. The Foundation supports two cancer education websites and a patient mentoring program, as well as spearheading nationwide initiatives, including Skate to Elimin8 Cancer to raise money to "turn cancer upside down".
