- Lot Description
The late Frank Michael Carroll was the most decorated U.S. figure skating coach in history. He coached one Olympic champion, six Olympic medalists and 11 Olympians from five countries over 10 Olympics. He notably guided Americans Linda Fratianne, Michelle Kwan and Evan Lysacek to World Figure Skating titles. Lysacek won the men's gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
“He made me believe that I could skate perfectly in the Olympics,” said Lysacek. “When I first heard the results, he was the first person I thought about. He owns just as much or more of my Olympic gold medal as I do.”
Kwan won nine U.S. titles (1996, 1998–2005), tied for the most ever, under his wing. She took silver at the 1998 Nagano Olympics and bronze at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.
“He changed the lives of every skater and parent he came across,” said Kwan.
A graduate of Holy Cross, Frank Carroll won junior bronze medals at the 1959 and 1960 U.S. Championships. His coaching career spanned 60 years before he retired in 2018. Carroll was named 1997 Olympic Coach of the Year, and in 2007 he was enshrined in the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame. This past June, Carroll passed away in Palm Springs at the age of 85.
Featured here is Frank Carroll’s 1997 World Figure Skating Championships Team USA ring. Held in Lausanne, Switzerland, the Ladies singles event was won by American Tara Lapinski. Carroll’s pupil, Michelle Kwan, finished second. Issued by the U.S. Figure Skating Association, the lovely 10-karat gold ring has the USFSA logo on one shank and “1997” on the other. The face reads “World Figure Skating Team” around a flat red stone. Carroll’s initials “FMC” are etched inside the band along with the “Balfour 10K” hallmark. The size 9 ring weighs 18 grams and exhibits light wear. Consigned directly by the trustee of the Carroll estate.
