Catalog Press Room E-newsletters Sign Up Archives ... Women's Rights on Trial Sarah Elizabeth Hughes Born : May 2, 1985 in Great Neck, New York, United States Nationality : American Occupation : figure skater American figure skater Sarah Hughes is among the most consistent competitors in the sport, but no one expected her show at the 2003 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah. Hughes, just sixteen years old, upset both the favorite, Michelle Kwan, and other strong contenders to take the gold medal in women's figure skating. Hughes was born May 5, 1985 in Great Neck, New York. She is the fourth of six children of John, a lawyer and former hockey player, and Amy Hughes, an accountant. She began skating at age three in the backyard rink, following the lead of her two older brothers and sister. Her parents bought her hockey skates, but Hughes was incredibly competitive from an early age, and wanted to skate by herself. When she started taking classes, it was obvious that she had natural ability; she quickly mastered moves that challenged other skaters her age. She was a jumping whiz and began training with a coach, Patti Johnson, at age four. By the time she was five, Hughes knew she wanted to skate for the rest of her life. As word traveled about the precocious young skater, Hughes was invited to skate in ice shows and exhibitions, performing in front of thousands of people. She loved being the center of attention, and thrived on the crowds. At age six she was part of a show that included Kristi Yamaguchi, whom she had just watched win the gold medal at the 1992 Olympic Games. She appeared on a Christmas special with Kathie Lee Gifford, and did a European tour with famous Russian coach Natalia Dubova and the world ice dance champions. She was friends with figure skating legends Scott Hamilton, JoJo Starbuck, and Peggy Fleming by the time she was eight years old. When Hughes was nine, choreographer Robin Wagner joined her team to help prepare her for competitions. Wagner would later become her coach. She entered her first major competition in 1996 at age ten, the North Atlantic Regional, and came in third place in the novice division. In 1997, she placed first.

Women of Note Artists/Photographers Athletes/Aviators Brave Business ... Writers Artists/Photographers Dorothea Lange Mike Venezia In the "Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists"series, Mike Venezia has made a career out of writing basic but solid introductions to the art world's big names. An artist himself, Venezia's gimmick is to sprinkle cartoon-like commentaries along with the Real McCoy. Sometimes these efforts leave the reader wondering why the space wasn't used for more reproductions of real art, but in the case of Lange, it works. Venezia's double-page spread explaining the Great Depression to youngsters is brilliantly keyed right to their level, as is his cartoon that succinctly explains Lange's divorce. Dorothea Lange's photography takes over from there, as it should. Her work is grippingfrom a study of her own polio-stricken foot to her unforgettable images of poverty-stricken migrant workers. The end result is a successful introduction to Lange's work and to the art of photography. 2000, Children's Press, $22.50. Ages 6 to 9.

18. Rainbow Ice - Flavor Of The Month biography because they are not biographies or autobiographies too friendly with anyof the other boy skaters. of Eisler s relationships with women (including a http://www.plover.com/rainbowice/flavor0900.html

Graphic by YIKES,Inc. Skaters and autobiographies Homophobia affects all male skaters, regardless of their personal sexual orientation. Many assume that all male skaters are gay; even when individual male skaters are known to be straight, they are frequently the target of anti-gay slurs just for being in the sport. When it comes to autobiography or authorized biography, male skaters have taken a number of approaches to this phenomenon. In a few cases, the silence has spoken loudly. Of the male skater autobiographies Rainbow Ice is aware of, only one, Icebreaker: the Autobiography of Rudy Galindo , with Eric Marcus, acknowledges the subject as gay. Another, Toller Cranston's Zero Tollerance , with Martha Lowder Kimball, describes a same-sex rendezvous, although Cranston does not identify as gay or bisexual. Of the other male skater autobiographies, there are a few which employ a curious "don't ask, don't tell" strategy. It cannot be easy to decide to collaborate with a writer on the story of one's life while omitting any mention of a love life whatsoever, but this is the choice made by Brian Orser in his 1988 book A Skater's Life with Steve Milton, and by the 1998 authorized biography

CM . . . . Volume IV Number 1 . . . . September 5, 1997 Super Skaters: World Figure Skating Stars. Steve Milton. Toronto: Key Porter Books, 1996. 48pp., hardcover, $xxxx. ISBN 1-55013-806-5. Subject Headings: Skating-Juvenile literature. Skaters-Biography-Juvenile literature. Grades 4 and up / Ages 9 and up. Review by Irene Gordon. Not only will Super Skaters be of great interest to avid figure skating fans, but it will also be very useful for school research projects. The book is introduced by a history of figure skating, from the first use of animal bones as skate blades some 4000 years ago, to the use of metal blades in Holland in the 14th Century, to the founding of the first skating club in the world in Scotland around 1650, to the present. As well, there is a description of how skaters prepare their programs, illustrated explanations of how the various jumps are done, a listing of the Olympic gold medalists in the four skating disciplines (men's, women's, pairs and ice dance), and an explanation of how competitions are judged. "As more and more people in Europe and North America discovered the pleasures of skating, they began to skate together on ponds and lakes. The first skating club in the world, the Edinburgh Skating Club in chilly Scotland, came into being around 1650. To join the club, you had to be able to skate in a circle on one foot, then on the other foot, then jump over a pile of three hats. Perhaps these tricky exercises could be considered the first skating competition. "(Page 3)
