24 Olympic Moments That Defined the Sport of Figure Skating

Olympic records are made to be broken, but this one still stands, nearly 25 years later. At the 1998 Olympics, 15-year-old Tara Lipinski became the youngest figure skater ever to finish atop the Olympic podium, besting fellow American skater Michelle Kwan and China's Lu Chen to take home the gold. So far, no woman has beaten her record, although the 2018 women's champion, Alina Zagitova, came close; Zagitova was less than a month older than Lipinski was when she won gold. Lipinski left competitive figure skating after the Olympics, but today, she's a commentator for NBC.
