^ I believe Yagudin's injuries were due to a congenital abnormality in his hip. It could not be corrected by surgery.
Here's one. ALLEN SCHRAMM. Wildly creative men's skater from the US back in the 80s.
I don't know what he's doing now. I do know in the 1990s he was coaching in Detroit and later in Texas, and also working with the French team on choreography.
I always wondered whether the backspin-first spins that were popular with French skaters at the time, and rare elsewhere until it became a feature under IJS, were a product of Schramm's influence.
How about Josée Chouinard or Jennifer Robinson? Or Elena Bechke?
