- Lot Description
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 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics Team USA ring. The elegant 14-karat gold ring has the Olympic rings and USA flag in raised relief on the face, surrounded by “United States Olympic Team” and four small-cut genuine diamonds. One shank has “Carroll” and “Sochi 2014” engraved. The other shank has “Figure Skating” and a pictorial depiction of a skater. Inside the band are “O.C. Tanner” (maker) and “14K USA” hallmarked. The size 9.5 ring weighs 16 grams and shows a good amount of wear. (Please note: dark area on ring face is shadow from image, nothing from ring itself.) Consigned directly by the trustee of the Carroll estate.
