3 Time Olympic Gold Figure Skater Sonja Henie

To this day there has never been another ladies figure skater to win Olympic Gold three times.  In this modern day age of triple jumps, there probably will never be another to break Sonja's record, given the advanced difficulty.  The closest to Sonja's record was of course Katerina Witt with her two olympic gold medals.  Yuna Kim could possibly try to match Katerina's record, but Yuna doesn't seem to have much interest in competiting anymore.  Only time will tell.

Sonja Henie was a wealthy Norwegian who was rumored to have bought many of her championships with her father's money.  With all the controversy aside, she was a legendary and charismatic skater.  With her love for fur and diamonds, Sonja Henie transcended figure skating with her costumes and white figure skates.  Sonja later became an actress.  Known for her greed, love of jewelry, fashion, lavish hollywood parties and men, she definitely was the Kim Kardashian of the 20th century.  Here are some videos from her time:
