Joining the club Sumners, Laws make U.S. skating Hall of Fame
BOSTON (AP) -- Rosalynn Sumners, a three-time U.S. and 1984 Olympic silver medalist, was inducted into the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame on Friday night. Sumners, who also won the 1983 world championship before finishing second to Katarina Witt at the Sarajevo Olympics, recently retired after a 13-year stint with the Stars on Ice tour. She did not miss a show in those 13 years. She now is a figure skating commentator who worked the 1998 Olympics in that capacity. Also entering the Hall were Gary Visconti, Don Laws and Arthur Vaughn. Visconti won the U.S. title in 1965 and '67 and was a two-time world bronze medalist. He finished fifth in the 1968 Olympics. Currently a coach, Visconti works with Trifun Zivanovic, who was third at the 1999 nationals. Laws coached Scott Hamilton to four U.S. and world crowns and the 1984 Olympics gold medal. He is a past president of the Professional Skaters Association, the top organization of skating coaches. Vaughn won the 1943 U.S. title. His sister, Jane, was the 1941 and '42 women's champ.
