		Norwegian figure skater Sonja Henie first skated in the Olympics in 1924 when she was 12 years old, and was the world skating champion for ten years.

		Henie enjoyed other sports as well, and was an accomplished skier and tennis player.

		Born into wealth, Henie was given every advantage when it came to developing her talent, from private rinks and skating teachers to ballet lessons.
		Henie revolutionized the sport in two important ways: Combining her extraordinary skating skills and her artistic training, she choreographed her programs so that her sits, spins and leaps flowed from one to the other in time with the music.
		Henie's 10 consecutive world championships, from 1927 to 1936, and three consecutive Olympic golds, in 1928, 1932 and 1936, will likely never be duplicated.
