Todd Eldredge’s Profession & Career
Eldredge moved from Chatham, Massachusetts, to Philadelphia when he was ten years old to study with Richard Callaghan. He then began training at the Detroit Skating Club in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and the Onyx in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
Todd was crowned American Novice National Champion. He won the junior national title in 1987 and the junior world championship a year later, in 1988. In addition, at the age of 18, he won his first senior U.S. National Championship.
He was on his way to the 1992 Olympics after capturing a bronze medal at the 1991 World Championships. It turned out that the Olympics he had longed for will not take place.
He suffered from a back issue and finished tenth in Albertville. During this period, many people dismissed his career. Todd, on the other hand, made the choice that he was committed to the sport and began working out more. He persevered and regained his confidence and focus prior to the 1994 Nationals.
Regrettably, he was still experiencing numerous challenges. Furthermore, he developed a serious flu infection just a few days before the competition. Despite his condition, he participated but finished fourth, failing to make the Olympic team in 1994.
More
Todd returned to the podium after a three-year break, capturing his third US National championship in 1995. He went on to win silver at the World Championships. Then he wrapped the silver medal around his father’s neck as a symbol of thanks for his years of support.
In December 1995, Todd toured with the Nutcracker on Ice production. Todd earned silver in the US Nationals that year despite a lack of training time while on tour and was named to the US World Team.
The 1996 World Championships were held in Edmonton, Canada. His performances were technically difficult and imbued with incredible beauty. He won the gold medal, becoming the first American man to do it since Brian Boitano in 1984. Todd presented his mother with the gold medal like he had done with his last World medal, as a sign of his appreciation.
Todd stumbled and fell during the long program warm-up at Skate America in Detroit in 1997, dislocating his right shoulder. Despite snapping his shoulder back into position and being in agonizing pain, he skated an excellent long program.
He eventually won Skate America, getting a standing ‘O’ and his first-ever 6.0 score. Despite this victory, the rib injuries and persistent shoulder trauma presented problems later on.
Success persisted
He was a podium favorite in Nagano as the current World Silver Medalist. Todd finished third after introducing a new short program to “Les Miserables” and skating with a positive artistic approach.
Two days later, he skated on the ice for his freestyle. He also did a triple axel after duplicating the second leap twice. Always a strong competitor, he attempted but failed a second triple axel. He finished fourth, barely off the podium.
He went on to execute a tremendous performance in the 1998 World Championships, winning the free skate and collecting his third World silver medal. In 1998, he ended his season at the Goodwill Games. He also won the gold medal with a beautiful free skate performance following a strong short program.
For the next two years, Todd took advantage of the new ISU regulations, which permitted him to compete in “open” events while boycotting Nationals, Worlds, and other eligible-only contests. He did this to keep his Olympic eligibility while also giving his body a respite from the rigorous pace. Furthermore, he won a substantial proportion of these tournaments.
Olympic Winter Games 2002 & World Trade Center Flag
Although returning to the hard tempo of Olympic-eligible skating was more difficult than expected, Todd’s athletic prowess and willpower helped him to finish on the podium in both of his Grand Prix competitions.
He finished second at the 2001 United States Nationals, earning one of two slots for the United States World Team. In addition, he came in third place at the 2001 World Championships. He not only won an unexpected bronze medal, but he also helped the US men’s team win three Olympic slots.
Todd Eldredge became a six-time US National Champion and a member of the 2002 US Olympic squad with his triple axel, triple toe combination.
He was a member of the honor guard chosen to carry the World Trade Center flag during the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Salt Lake City. In addition, he finished sixth at the Salt Lake City Games after overcoming a faulty short program with an inspired long program.
Post-Career and Retirement
Todd announced his retirement from Olympic-eligible skating before the 2002 Games ended. He completed his competitive career as a three-time Olympian, six-time World medallist, six-time U.S. National Champion, and World Champion.
Todd previously worked as a coach at Estero’s Germain Arena in Florida. In April 2012, he underwent left hip replacement surgery. He began coaching at the Dr. Pepper StarCenter in Frisco, Texas, in 2014. In 2018, he relocated to Irvine, California, and is now a coach at Great Park Ice. His students include Yaroslav Paniot and Emmi Peltonen.
