BALTIMORE - Olympic gold medalist Dorothy Hamill is back on the ice.
She was to return to the national “Broadway on Ice” tour Wednesday night after taking time off because of breast cancer. The 51-year-old skater left the tour this month for treatment at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
She will headline the performance in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., said Gerry Porter, a publicist representing “Broadway on Ice.” Olympic gold medalist Brian Boitano and two-time Olympic medalist Nancy Kerrigan filled in during Hamill’s absence.
Hamill was a three-time U.S. champion and won the world title and Olympic gold in 1976. She retired and joined the Ice Capades in 1977.
