Tara Lipinski
Lipinski made history by becoming the youngest woman to ever win an Olympic gold medal with her triumph over Michelle Kwan, who was largely regarded as the favorite to win the medal. She apparently surprised the judges with a triple loop combo while performing to music from the cartoon movie Anastasia. A series of hip injuries forced Lipinski to give up competitive skating at an early age, but she is still active in the sport as a commentator. In Sochi, she made her Olympic commentary debut, and according to reports, she will be joined by Johnny Weir for the future Winter Olympics.

Andre Agassi
Despite having a difficult start to the competition, Andre Agassi, one of the top players in the world, went on to win the men’s singles gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. He did it in the sport of tennis, becoming the first American to do so since 1924. Agassi is still actively engaged in the world of professional tennis even if he officially retired in 2006. He frequently participates in competitions and charitable events. He participated in the 2017 French Open as Novak Djokovic’s trainer.
