Tara Lipinski

Tara Lipinski, the internationally acclaimed figure skater who won over the world’s hearts when she earned the gold medal at the 1998 Nagano Olympics – earning her the distinction as the youngest individual Gold Medalist ever in Winter Games history – has applied the same grace, finesse and assiduous character as a role model to empower a whole generation of young girls to achieve any goal they set their minds to. In the now 26 years since her Olympic triumph, Lipinski takes the same championship-style approach to her roles as a TV sports commentator for NBC, an actress, a philanthropist and Mom.

Today, Lipinski is NBC’s prime time figure skating TV Analyst, covering events like the World Figure Skating Championships, U.S. National Championships and the 2018 & 2022 Olympic Games. Aside from figure skating, NBC has enlisted Lipinski for their live event coverage of the Kentucky Derby, Superbowl XLIX, the 2016, 2020, and 2024 Summer Olympics. Prior to her role at NBC, Lipinski attended multiple Olympic Games where she worked with many of the world’s top media outlets and partnered with sponsors, further burnishing her global stature as an iconic Olympian of accomplishment and inspiration.

She and her husband started their podcast, “Unexpecting”, that chronicles their 5-year infertility journey in hopes of bringing this conversation to the forefront and help others feel less alone. They welcomed their daughter, Georgie, via surrogate in September 2023.
