Biography
Sonja Henie, a Norwegian ice skating champion during the 1924 Winter Olympic games Sonja Henie was born in Kristiania, current Oslo, the daughter of Wilhelm Henie, a one-time World Cycling Champion and a prosperous Norwegian fur trader. Her father hired the best experts in the world, including the famous Russian ballerina Tamara Karsavina, to transform his daughter into a sporting celebrity. She took the gold medal in the 1928, 1932 and 1936 Winter Olympics. She first placed eighth in a field of eight at the 1924 Winter Olympics, at the age of eleven. During the 1924 program, she skated over to the side of the rink several times to ask her coach for directions.

She also won six consecutive European championships. She is credited with being the first figure skater to adopt the short skirt costume in figure skating, and make use of dance choreography. Her innovative skating techniques and glamourous demeanor transformed the sport permanently and confirmed its acceptance as a legitimate sport in the Winter Olympics. Henie became so popular with the public that police had to be called out for crowd control on her appearances in various disparate cities such as Prague and New York.
