Olympic Greats: Before There Was Hanyu, There Was Button
While it’s tough to argue against Hanyu as the best-ever, he is not the first man to win consecutive Olympic gold medals for figure skating. That distinction belongs to Dick Button, who won back-to-back gold medals for the U.S. in the 1948 and 1952 Olympics.
Button, who trained at the Skating Club of Boston, wasn't just the first man to win back-to-back gold medals, he was the first U.S. men’s figure skater to win any Olympic medal.
His gold medal performance at the 1948 Olympics included the debut of a double axel, which Button became the first man to land.
