Timeline

1965

Elaine Kathryn Zayak (born April 4, 1965) is an American former figure skater.

1979

She won gold at the 1979 World Junior Championships.

The next season, she began competing on the senior international level.

Zayak stood atop the podium at the 1979 Skate Canada and Prague Skate and then appeared at her first senior World Championships.

1980

She was included in the first trip to China by American skaters, in 1980.

Zayak was the first woman to consistently land many triple jumps in her programs.

1982

She is the 1982 World champion and 1981 U.S. national champion.

Zayak attended Paramus High School and was awarded the Dial Award for the national high-school scholar-athlete of the year in 1982.

Zayak was coached jointly by Peter Burrows and Marylynn Gelderman throughout her amateur and professional career.

At the 1982 World Championships, she landed six triple jumps to win the title, although four of them were triple toe loops.

While she also had triple salchows and loops in her repertoire, they were less consistent.

Zayak's skating contributed to the creation of what became informally known as the Zayak rule, enacted at the 1982 ISU Congress, which states that a skater may not perform the same kind of triple jump more than twice, and for it to be given full credit on both occasions, one of the two triples must be incorporated into a combination or sequence.

The rule encouraged skaters to display a greater variety of skills.

After her World title in 1982, Zayak's placements suffered from generally poor performances in the then-prevalent compulsory figures (attributed after the fact to her damaged foot).

1983

She took the bronze medal at the 1983 U.S. Championships and was sent to the 1983 World Championships.

1984

She competed at the 1984 Winter Olympics, placing 6th.

Zayak was born and raised in Paramus, New Jersey.

At age two, she lost three toes on her left foot as a result of a lawn mower accident.

On the advice of her doctors, she began figure skating as physical therapy.

Her left boot was stabilized with a wood mold to compensate for the irregularity in the shape of her left foot.

Zayak won the bronze medal at the 1984 U.S. Championships.

She placed 6th at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo and won bronze at the 1984 World Championships.

Zayak turned professional later that year and performed with the Ice Capades from 1984 to 1986.

1993

In 1993, Zayak was the only U.S. female singles skater to reinstate to eligible status in an attempt to make the 1994 Olympic team.

1994

Including triple jumps she had not performed in a decade, she finished 4th at the 1994 U.S. Championships and was named an alternate for the Olympic Games.

2003

Zayak was inducted into the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 2003 and the New Jersey Sports Hall of Fame in 2004.

2011

Ranked 11th in the middle of the school figures portion, Zayak abruptly withdrew from the competition with just one more tracing to go and flew back to the United States.

She attributed her poor figures to a sore, injured ankle and equipment problems.

2013

In 2013, she was elected into the National Polish-American Sports Hall of Fame.

Zayak teaches figure skating at the Ice House in Hackensack, New Jersey, and is a spokeswoman for U.S. Figure Skating.

Among her current and former students are Joelle Forte and Amelia Xu.
