Figure skating at the 1968 Winter Olympics was held at Le Stade Olympique de Glace in Grenoble, France. Ice dance, then known as "rhythmic skating," was a demonstration event and was won by the team of Diane Towler and Bernard Ford of Great Britain.[1] It became a medal event eight years later in 1976 Innsbruck.[2]

American figure skater Peggy Fleming built up a huge lead after the compulsory figures and won the first-place votes of all nine judges.[3] Her victory marked the first gold medal won by an American after the death of an entire US figure skating team in an air crash in 1961, and heralded an American figure skating renaissance.[4]
