Manfred Schnelldorfer

Schnelldorfer is the kind of polymath I cannot help but admire. Winning both the Olympic and World figure skating titles in 1964, plus eight German national crowns, would be a complete career for most people. Instead he carried that on-ice artistry into singing and acting, while also studying at the Technical University of Munich. I read that as a refusal to be defined by one talent, and as proof that expression learned on the ice translates anywhere. He also has an official site.
