Scott Scovell Hamilton (born August 28, 1958) is a retired American figure skater and Olympic gold medalist.
Hamilton won four consecutive U.S. championships (1981–1984), four consecutive World Championships (1981–1984) and a gold medal in the 1984 Olympics. His signature move is a backflip, a feat that few other figure skaters could perform and is against USFSA and Olympic competition rules, but which he would include in his exhibition routines to please the crowd.
