Edi Scholdan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edi Scholdan was a figure skater and figure skating coach.

Scholdan was born in Vienna and, as a competitor, represented Austria at the 1933 World Figure Skating Championships. However, he became better known as a coach; he worked at the Broadmoor Skating Club in Colorado Springs, Colorado beginning in 1945. His students included 1956 Olympic champion Hayes Alan Jenkins and his younger brother David Jenkins, who won his own Olympic title four years later. Other students included James Grogan and Ina Bauer.

In 1961, Scholdan and his 13-year-old son were among those killed in the crash of Sabena Flight 548, which was carrying the entire US Figure Skating team to the 1961 World Figure Skating Championships. Scholdan was to have attended that event as the coach of Gregory Kelley and ladies' runner-up Stephanie Westerfeld. He was 49 years old at the time of his death.

In Scholdan's honor, the Professional Skaters Association's annual awards are called "EDI awards". Scholdan was the first president of that organization.
