Barbara Wagner & Robert Paul

Class of 1993: Athlete

Claiming the Canadian Senior Pairs title in 1956, this team from the Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club would go on to dominate pairs skating throughout the world for the next four years. Undefeated Canadian champions from 1956-60, they claimed two North American titles and were World Champions from 1957-60. Their electrifying performance at the 1960 Olympic Games in Squaw Valley resulted in first place marks from all judges and earned them the distinction of becoming the first North American pair ever to win an Olympic gold medal. Retiring from amateur competition in 1960, they went on to skate professionally for the next five years.
