Scott Hamilton is one of my favorite male
skaters.
Scott was born on August 28, 1958. When he was five years old, he mysteriously stopped
growing. For four years he went from
hospital to hostipal and the doctors had no idea what was wrong. When he was 9 he tried
figure skating and loved it. After that, he actually started to grow again (this is why he is only around 5'3").
