Trivia: In 1998, Tara Lipinski became the youngest U.S. gold medalist in what?

Skiing
Figure skating
Curling
Speed skating

The correct answer is Figure skating

So why is this answer correct? : At just 15 years old, Tara Lipinski made history at the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics when she became the youngest woman to win the gold in figure skating. (She also made history as the first woman to complete a triple loop, triple loop combination in competition.) However, Lipinski pulled off an even more impressive achievement a year earlier when she won the world championships at only 14 years old. Both records will likely never be bested because of new age limits set by the International Skating Union, which changes the age minimum in most competitions from 15 to 17.
