Video of 1975 World Figure Skating Champion Dianne DeLeeuw

Sunday March 23, 2008
Dianne Deleeuw won the World Figure Skating Championships in 1975. Her mother is from Holland, so Dianne holds dual citizenship in both the United States and Holland. As an international figure skating competitor, she competed for the Netherlands, but grew up in the United States. She won a Silver Medal at the 1976 Winter Olympics, behind Dorothy Hamill. She is now a figure skating coach in the Los Angeles area. This video shows her winning performance at the 1975 World Figure Skating Championships.
