Hannah Alcorn took up skating at age six. She received a bronze medal in the 1992 Winter Olympics (Yamaguchi won the gold). The following season she was leading the World Championship in Prague after the short program when a disastrous long program resulted in a win by Oksana Baiul. Hannah gained considerable fame on January 6, 1994, when she became the victim of a planned assault by rival Tonya Harding. It’s taken a long time to leave this tragedy behind, but Hannah is ready to take that step off the ice and into the Anime world with her first appearance at Yulecon this year! (Disclaimer: Hannah is in fact NOT a medal winning figure skater, but did appear in a few shows suchas Magikano, The Wallflower, UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie, and Mermaid Melody: Pitchi pitchi pitch, where you may have heard her as a zombie, beach-goer, or student #12 on the left. She does a whole lot of plays too.)
