(4) 4-6 Female Figure Skating Legends series. Illustrated with black-and-white photos, each volume begins with a dramatic episode, then goes back to trace the dedication that led each skater to become an elite athlete. Facts are often repeated several times within each book and the biographical coverage is perfunctory and glossy, but the information on technique and competitions is solid. Other titles in the series profile Oksana Baiul, Nancy Kerrigan, Katarina Witt, and Ekaterina Gordeeva. Bib., glos., ind.
