How Tara Lipinski Became Famous
At the age of fourteen, Lipinski gained a significant amount of attention after winning a gold medal at the 1997 World Championships. With that, she became the youngest skater to have ever won a World title. That season, she had also finished first in the ladies’ singles event at the Grand Prix Final.
A year afterward, she represented the United States at the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan. After placing second in the short program, she performed seven triple jumps to overtake Kwan, for a gold medal finish. Only fifteen at the time, she became the youngest female skater to achieve such a feat.
A few years later, she announced that she would be retiring from skating in 2002.
