About Peggy Flemming Memorabilia & Collectibles
Peggy Flemming is a retired figure skater. If you are fond of watching figure skating competitions, you might have been hearing her voice without realizing it. Flemming has been commentating in figure skating events including those in the Winter Olympic Games for more than 20 years now.
Flemming was coached by Carlo Fassi who helped her develop her unusual style which would earn for her five US titles, three World titles, and a gold medal during the 1968 Grenoble Olympics. Winning the gold in Grenoble became very memorable because it was the only gold medal that the country won during the said Winter Olympics. And after the 1961 Sabena Flight 548 crash which took the lives of the entire United States figure skating team, the win signaled the resurgence of the country in the field of figure skating.
She was named the 1967 ABC Wide World of Sports Athlete of the Year. In 1993, Flemming was named as the third most popular athlete in the entire United States which was published by the Associated Press with the help of the Nye Lavalle’s Sport Marketing Group.
All in all, Flemming was able to win the gold medal during the 1968 Winter Olympics, the 1966-1968 World Championships, the 1967 North American Championships and the 1964-1968 US Championships. She took the silver in the 1965 North American Championships and the bronze in the 1965 World Championships.
