U.S. Figure Skating is celebrating its centennial anniversary in 2021. In the April issue of SKATING magazine, we look back at those skaters and moments which made the 1950s special. This decade was considered the peak of the Golden Age of American Skating.” We also continue to honor “100 contributors” — 10 in each issue of 2021 — who have dedicated their time, talents and passion at the grass roots level to make the sport fun and fulfilling for others. The 10 people featured in the April issue are Dr. Richard Porter, Valarie Berger, Joe Blount, Joan Burns, Becky Jobling, Tiffany McNeil, Nancy Meiss, Christine Pozanac, Nancy Simpson and Jackie Wong. Top U.S. skaters and officials also give their answers to a centennial-related question.
