Liechtenstein is a small country made up of only 35,000 citizens. They became the smallest nation ever to produce an Olympic gold medal in 1980 when Hanni Wenzel won the slalom and giant slalom events. She also won a silver medal in the downhill at the same Olympics and had previously won a bronze medal at the 1976 Winter Olympics. The country has won nine Winter Olympic medals in total, all in alpine skiing, which gives Liechtenstein the record for most medals per capita, with one medal for every 3,888 citizens.

American Kristi Yamaguchi is the 1992 Winter Olympic Champion in ladies figure skating. (She's the Dancing With the Stars Champion as well. Totally the same thing.) At the beginning of her career, Yamaguchi split her time between solo skating and pairs skating. She competed in pairs skating with partner Rudy Galindo. In 1989, Yamaguchi became the first woman in thirty-five years to win two medals at the U.S. National Championships - silver in singles and gold in pairs. Shortly after that, Kristi stopped pairs skating to focus solely on her singles career (which was clearly a wise move). Her partner, Galindo, later went on to win the mens National Championships in 1996 and won the bronze at the World Championships that year as well.
