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.{{cite web | title = Rapport Officiel Xes Jeux Olympiques D'Hiver 1968 Grenoble | url= http://library.la84.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1968/or1968.pdf | publisher = LA84 Foundation | work = Comité d'organisation des Xemes jeux olympiques d'hiver | year = 1968 | access-date = 28 January 2014}} It became a medal event eight years later in 1976 Innsbruck.{{cite web |url=https://www.olympedia.org/games/38/sports/FSK |title=Figure Skating at the 1968 Winter Olympics |work=Olympedia |access-date=3 July 2020 |archive-date=3 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200703181603/https://www.olympedia.org/games/38/sports/FSK |url-status=dead }}

American figure skater Peggy Fleming built up a huge lead after the compulsory figures and won the first-place votes of all nine judges.[http://en.beijing2008.cn/spirit/pastgames/winterolympics/grenoble1968/n214049648.shtml Beijing 2008] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071101035947/http://en.beijing2008.cn/spirit/pastgames/winterolympics/grenoble1968/n214049648.shtml |date=1 November 2007 }} 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.{{Cite news|url=http://www.espn.com/espn/eticket/story?page=110215/skatingcrash&redirected=true|title=Still Crystal Clear|quote=The plane crash that killed the 1961 U.S. world championship figure skating team decimated families and the sport, but alongside grief came renewal.|last=Ford|first=Bonnie D.|year=2011|publisher=ESPN|access-date=February 19, 2014}}
