Kenneth Shelley

Kenneth Gene Shelley ( born October 4, 1951 in Downey, California) is an American former figure skater, who started in a single run and pair skating.

As a single runner in 1972 he was U.S. champion. In the same year he reached after two eighth places at the World Championships with seventh place and celebrated his best result at the Olympic Games in Sapporo with fourth place his greatest success as an individual runner.

As a pair skater on the side of JoJo Starbuck, he was at the Olympic Games in Sapporo also fourth. At the World Championships in 1971 and 1972, three times U.S. champion each won bronze behind the two Soviet pairs Irina Rodnina and Alexei Ulanov and Lyudmila Smirnova and Andrei Suraikin. Shelley and Starbuck were lined up already at the Olympic Games in 1968 and thus the youngest athletes the United States had ever sent to the Olympic Games. As early as 1959, the two ran for the first time together in a show. In 1961 she began to train professionally with coach John Nicks.

In the summer of 1969, Shelley was injured when he fell through a glass door at a celebration. After the subsequent surgery, he had five weeks wearing plaster. After the end of her career Shelley and Starbuck toured with the Ice Capades revue.
