Biography
Dick Button is an American figure skater and skating analyst. He is a two-time Olympic champion (1948, 1952) and five-time World champion (1948–1952). He is the only non-European man to have become European champion and is credited as having been the first skater to successfully land the double axel jump in competition (1948), as well as the first triple jump of any kind – a triple loop (1952). He invented the flying camel spin, which was originally known as the "Button camel".[1]
Richard Totten Button was born July 18, 1929. Richard is still living.

We are featuring this profile in the Connection Finder this week. Between now and Wednesday is a good time to take a look at the sources and biography to see if there are updates and improvements that need made, especially those that will bring it up to WikiTree Style Guide standards. We know it's short notice, so don't fret too much. Just do what you can.
