Figure skating coach, Janet Champion, has worked with numerous elite figure skaters. She has been on the board of the Professional Skaters Association and has received numerous awards for her contributions to figure skating.
Champion's husband, Dr. Louis Schlom, passed away on October 22, 2009. He was a physician. Janet met him at the "House of Ice," the rink in San Diego where she taught skating when she was young. He was an excellent adult ice dancer. Janet skated everyday on the noon public skating session just for fun; during those sessions, they started ice dancing together. He liked all the same things she enjoyed: skating, ballet, cooking and photography. They became close and traveled to Los Angeles every week-end to take ice dance lessons from Bert Wright, a U.S. National Ice Dance Champion.
Janet Champion and Louis Schlom were married for over thirty years. The couple had two children.
