Gustave Lussi

Gustave Franois Lussi was a figure skating coach. His students include many champions, such as Dick Button, Tenley Albright, Maria Jelinek Otto Jelinek, Donald Jackson, Alena Vrzov, Ronald Robertson, Ronald Ludington, Barbara Ann Scott, David Jenkins, Hayes Jenkins, Emmerich Danzer, Dorothy Hamill, John Misha Petkevich, and John Curry.

Lussi was born in Stans, Switzerland. He himself was not a competitive skater but a ski jumper. He lost his nerve for that sport after a fall, and became interested in skating instead. His previous experience with the sport was only recreational skating on Lake Lucerne as a boy.
