In more recent times, that would be the Italian pair, Della Monica & Guarise (particularly him).
Going back a ways, that would be Tara Lipinski

It would also be Denney & Frazier of the USA - skating with each other both as roller skaters and as figure skaters.

Very interesting, thanks. Oh yeah, they mentioned that about Tara being that as well. It reminds me of Emanuel Sandhu and his movement from dance to skating...a little different there, lol, but still to be a champion in one sport and then in another too is pretty amazing even if they are slightly related.
