As I've been watching the Olympics the past week with the 'Rents, I couldn't help but flashback to the 1976 Winter Olympics held in Innsbruck, Austria. The star of that Olympiad was figure skating great Dorothy Hamill, who brought home the gold medal for the U.S. in the women's figure skating.
Not only did she give us her signature move, the Hamill Camel, she also gave us the awesome hairstyle "The Wedge." I had long hair during that era, and wasn't about to get it cut into a short wedge, no matter how much I worshipped Dorothy Hamill.
Though her skating style would be very outdated today, she was still a class act back in the day. I wish the Olympics had more Dorothy Hamills.
