Need info on World champion ice skater Ronnie Robertson (circa 1956.) Any videos available of him? Please help
Ronnie Robertson was World and Olympic champion and was the fastest spinner ever. He also did an unbelievable sit spin/barrell roll type of trick that I haven't seen duplicated. I would LOVE to have footage of his performances.
