Happy Birthday, Irina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some people never seem to age. Figure skating legend Irina Rodnina is one of them, and it is hard to believe that the three-time Olympic pairs champion turns 60 on Saturday, Sept. 12. The Russian not only won three Olympic gold medals, but 10 world and 11 European titles from 1969 to 1980 as well, making her the most successful figure skater in history. Together with partners Alexei Ulanov, followed by Alexander Zaitsev, Rodnina re-invented pairs skating with a modern, fast-paced style and more athletic programs.
Happy Birthday, Irina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
