Scott Hamilton, star figure skater and winner of the Olympic gold medal, has overcome many obstacles. As a child, doctors discovered that he suffered from a partially paralyzed intestine. Skating was both an escape from his illness and therapy toward getting well. During this time, skating also became his passion. Yet skating could not cure all of his problems. Having already watched his mother suffer and eventually die from cancer, Hamilton maintained a positive outlook while he went on to win his own courageous six-month battle with cancer. From his fantastic skating programs in the Olympics, to his comeback with the Stars on Ice professional tour, Hamilton's courage, strength and emotion continues to shine as an example for all aspiring athletes.
