	Dorothy Hamill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dorothy Hamill is an American figure skater who was born on July 26, 1956, in Chicago, Illinois.
		The U.S. champion from 1974 through 1976, Hamill developed a new move, a camel spin that turns into a sit-spin, which became known as the "Hamill camel." The bobbed hairstyle that she wore during her Olympic performance started a brief fad.
		In 1976, Hamill switched boots to be able to skate the compulsory figures better (she had been wearing special boots created by Carlo Fassi that did not seem to be helping her).
