Evgeni Plushenko (RUS) tied the record of four Olympic figure skating medals (in the early years of the sport, Gillis Grafström won four medals between 1920 and 1932).[5]

Yulia Lipnitskaya (RUS) became the second-youngest Olympic gold medalist in figure skating, behind Maxi Herber who won pair skating at the 1936 Winter Olympics.[citation needed] Under modern age eligibility rules, Herber would have been 99 days too young to skate at the Olympics.
