I can recommend one "classic" skater, and one current.
The classic one has quite a story.
Rudy Galindo grew up in a lower middle class family. His family opted to live in a trailer instead of a house, in an effort to have more money to pay for Rudy's skating.
He was paired with Kristi Yamaguchi, and together they won the 1989 and 1990 US National Championships. Kristi was also a singles skater, competing in the women's field. They thought that they would be competing together at the 1992 Olympics. However, some of Kristi's people were telling her how hard it is to compete as a single skater as well as a pair skater, and if she really wanted a medal, she should focus only on singles skating. She very reluctantly told Rudy the pair was breaking up, and Kristi went on to win a gold medal at the 1992 Olympics.
Rudy returned to singles skating, but did not fare as well as Kristi, and had many disappointing finishes. On top of that, he had many tragedies occur in his life. His coach (Jim Hulick) died of AIDS-related cancer. Rudy Galindo's father died of a heart attack in 1993, and his brother, George, died from AIDS in 1994. Another coach, Rick Inglesi, died of AIDS in 1995. Galindo reports in his autobiography that he was grief-stricken and unmotivated by a lack of support from the skating establishment. At this point he was being coached by his older sister, Laura, because the family could no longer afford any other coach.
Rudy had considered retiring from the sport, but the 1996 National Championships were to be held in his hometown of San Jose. Rudy opted to compete one last time, and was the oldest competitor in the competition.
In the first phase of the program, Rudy placed in 3rd, and had to complete the artistic program for his final scores and placements. He skated as the evil Von Rothbart from Swan Lake.
Here is his performance, yes, there is commentary.

He competed last week in the Autumn Classic International in Canada. He didn't win a medal, and it wasn't a perfect performance, but his performance earned rave reviews from the skating establishment and fans alike.
This could be his breakout year. Video has no commentary during the performance.
