Peggy Fleming

Peggy Gail Fleming〔 (born July 27, 1948) is an American former figure skater. She is the 1968 Olympic Champion in Ladies' singles and a three-time World Champion (1966–1968). Fleming has been a television commentator on figure skating for over 20 years, including several Winter Olympic Games.
==Life and career==
Fleming was born in San Jose, California, the daughter of Doris Elizabeth (née Deal) and Albert Eugene Fleming, a newspaper journalist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peggy Flemming )〕 She began skating at age nine〔Woolum, Janet (1998) ''Outstanding Women Athletes: Who They Are and How They Influenced Sports in America''. Greenwood Publishing Group. ISBN 1-57356-120-7. p. 124〕 when her family moved to Cleveland and soon began skating in earnest on the advice of her father. In 1961, when Peggy was twelve years old, her coach William Kipp was killed in the crash of Sabena Flight 548 along with the rest of the United States figure skating team while en route to the 1961 World Figure Skating Championships. Fleming was subsequently coached by Carlo Fassi. Her unusual style led to five U.S. titles, three World titles and the gold medal in the 1968 Olympics in Grenoble, France. Her award in Grenoble was singularly important for the American athletes and the nation as a whole, for this was the only gold medal that the U.S. Olympic team won in the 1968 Winter Games. It signaled a return to American dominance in the sport of women's figure skating following the unprecedented tragedy of the 1961 plane crash.
After becoming an Olympic champion, Fleming turned professional, performed on TV shows and toured with many skating shows, like Ice Capades. During the Cold War, Fleming had filmed a TV show in USSR and skated to ''Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto'' in China. Since 1981, She was a skating commentator for ABC Sports.〔 In 1993, the Associated Press released results of a national sports study. Fleming was ranked as the 3rd most popular athlete in America, behind fellow Olympians Mary Lou Retton and Dorothy Hamill.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Athletes )
Peggy Fleming was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998. The cancer was detected in its early stages, and surgery was successful. She became a breast cancer activist who recommends not procrastinating and advocates for early detection.
In June 13, 1970, Fleming married her teenage sweetheart Greg Jenkins, a dermatologist and a former amateur pair figure skater. The couple have two sons, Andy in 1977, Todd in 1988,〔 and three grandchildren. They also owned and operated Fleming Jenkins Vineyards & Winery in California. The winery produced close to 2,000 cases of wine a year with such brands as "Choreography Cabernet" and "San Francisco Bay Syrah Rosé."〔Sports Illustrated, July 2, 2007, p. 87〕 Profits from the "Victories Rosé" went towards charities that supported research towards breast cancer.〔 The winery closed in 2011.
In 1988, a Peggy Fleming all-porcelain doll was made by Franklin Mint Heirloom Porcelain Dolls.
