The most well-known Olympians among the general public tends to change over time as new Olympic Games are held. For example, in the late 1990s one of the most well-known Olympic figures was Michelle Kwan, a figure skater. About twelve years later, Michael Phelps became a household name with his impressive streak of wins in swimming event.

Skater skirts are named for their association with skateboarding culture and the active lifestyle of skaters. The design features a flared silhouette that allows for ease of movement, making them practical for skating. The style gained popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s, often worn by young women who embraced a casual, sporty aesthetic. The combination of functionality and fashion contributed to the name "skater skirt."

Irina Ronina, a Russian figure skater, competed professionally during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Her competitive career included participation in various national and international events, but specific details about the length of her skating career aren't widely documented. She is primarily known for her performances in singles and pairs skating during that time.
Skater skirts are often associated with a more modern interpretation of fashion, but their roots can be traced back to the 1950s when similar styles were popular. The 1950s saw the rise of full, flared skirts, often made from stiff materials that created a characteristic shape. However, the contemporary skater skirt, typically made from lighter and stretchier fabrics, gained prominence in the 1990s and early 2000s, influenced by skate culture and casual fashion trends. Thus, while they share stylistic elements, skater skirts as we know them today are not exclusively from the 1950s.

Michael Phelps is not in the Olympic hall of fame yet, i think it takes years to be entered because some people who were entered this year competed in the 1980s and 1990s
