The successful figure skating coach Frank Carroll has died. He was 85 years old.

It is Carroll's former employer, the US Figure Skating Association, that brings the news of his death.

"Coach legend Frank Carroll has died after a battle with cancer", writes the association.

During his 60-year-long career, Carroll trained, among others, Olympic and World Championship medallists Michelle Kwan and Evan Lysacek, the latter of whom won Olympic gold under Carroll's guidance.

He changed the lives of every skater and parent he met, said Michelle Kwan when Carroll retired at the age of 80 in 2018.

The American coach was elected to the Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 2007, after having been inducted into the American equivalent since 1996.
