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.

Hi, writing this to you from Hong Kong where 1956 US, World and Olympic Silver Medallist, Ronnie Robertson is teaching for a month. We've really enjoyed your photo site. Attached is a photo of Ronnie taken in 1979 at Knotts Berry Farm ice show, his last professional performance year. Ronnie is now living in Irvine, California and teaching at the Irvine Ice Arena, while making annual trips to Hong Kong for teaching at Cityplaza Ice Palace along with Sashi Kuchiki (whose photo you already have posted). Hope you can include another Harlick Boot user by having Ronnie's photo in the Historical section
