Olympic Charmer

Olympic Gold, Grenoble, France – Free Skate

Peggy Fleming’s victory in Grenoble, France was the only US gold medal during the 1968 Olympics. Wearing her iconic chartreuse dress which her mother, Doris, had hand-sewn, she skated across the ice to selections by Tchaikovsky, Saint-SaĆ«ns, and Rossini. It was the first time the Olympics had been broadcast live and in color and her performance will live on as one of history’s most vivid sporting triumphs.
