Kitty and Peter Carruthers are one of the most famous sibling skating duos of all time. They are from Massachusetts and they made a name for themselves in 1984 when they beat out all their Soviet rivals to win the silver medal in Sarajevo. They were so ecstatic about their placement they embraced each other for a long minute in front of a huge standing ovation from the crowd. Peter went on to become a very famous broadcaster and is married with two children. Kitty decided to pursue coaching in Houston, Texas. Despite living different lives, the siblings occasionally reunite for special occasions. The most recent occurrence was in 2013 where they skated together.
