Oksana Baiul - Olympic Gold Medalist & World Champion Figure Skater (Ep. 39)

Oksana Baiul captured the world’s heart at the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games, where she won the Gold Medal in ladies’ singles figure skating. Her victory was a testament to her determination and unyielding spirit. In the years that followed, Oksana faced personal struggles with alcohol, but through resilience and surrounding herself with positive influences, she emerged stronger than ever. Today, Oksana continues to inspire—sharing her perspective on the war in Ukraine and reflecting on the tragic loss of fellow figure skaters in the American Airlines plane crash. She is also the author of the 1997 autobiography Oksana, My Own Story, and remains active in philanthropy and creative projects.
