Here's a link to several shots of the young Dick Button in Olympic competition. He won seven US titles, five World titles, and two Olympic gold medals. Dick was the first skater to complete a double axel in competition (1948) and he became the first skater to complete a triple jump (loop) in competition (1952).
Way to go, Dick!
