Isaac Irving Brokaw (March 29, 1871 – March 18, 1939) was an American figure skater, artist, lawyer, and financier.[1][2] He represented the United States at the 1908 Summer Olympics in the figure skating competition, becoming the first American to compete in a sport included in the Winter Olympic program.[3] After he won an international prize in Switzerland, he brought the International Style of skating back to the United States. His book, The Art of Skating, was known as the figure skater's bible.[4]
