Skaters on Magazine Covers

[Norlite]

I am most certainly no prude, but I don't particularly think the first of the older LIFE covers (1938) is um.....er....... flattering. LOL......

It's the history of the crotch shot that Yahoo is so famous for.

More wonderful magazine covers!! The three-year-old figure skater was absolutely charming!

And I distinctly remember the Life magazine cover photo of Peggy Fleming, atop the Grenobe Olympic podium with her gold medal.

THANKS AGAIN, IDLERACER! These photographs are fantastic!!

I can't import the image, because geocities has all sorts of software implanted in their websites that prevents people from doing that.

How about Dick Button? Was he pictured on the cover of any magazines? Maybe Life, Sports Illustrated, or some other major magazine from 1948 through 1952?

Are there any real old timers? Jackson Hines, Ulrich Salchow, Madge Sayers?

I'm sure that Dick Button, Tenley Albright, Hayes Jenkins, David Jenkins and other top skaters from the 1940s and 1950s were featured on the cover of "Skating " magazine. Perhaps "Sports Illustrated"? If anybody has access to those covers, I'd sure love to see them. Thank you in advance,
