Longtime figure skating coach Frank Carroll, who over the course of a 60-year career helped guide six Olympic medalists at 10 Winter Games, including Michelle Kwan and Evan Lysacek , died Sunday. He was 85.

Much of it was gleaned from his own first coach, Maribel Vinson-Owen, the two-time world medalist and 1932 Olympic bronze medalist.IOC boss Thomas Bach says snap elections in France won’t impact the Paris Olympics“She taught me great discipline, about being on time, always showing up, never backing out, not saying, ‘Oh, I don’t feel well today,’” Carroll recalled later in life.
Carroll also coached Tim Goebel, Gracie Gold and Denis Ten to Olympic medals. His lone champion was Lysacek, whose stirring free skate at the 2010 Vancouver Games was enough to beat out Russia’s Evgeni Plushenko for the gold medal.
