    Description

    ERIC HEIDEN AUTOGRAPHED SIGNED SPORTS ILLUSTRATED 1980 LAKE PLACID OLYMPICS. This magazine has been hand signed by Eric Heiden, one of the greatest speed skaters of all-time.
    Heiden is an icon in the speed skating community. His victories are significant, as few speed skaters (and athletes in general) have won competitions in both sprint and long-distance events. Heiden is the only athlete in the history of speed skating to have won all five events in a single Olympic tournament and the only one to have won a
    gold medal in all events
    . He is considered by some to be the best overall speed skater (short and long distances) in the sport's history. Heiden ranked No. 46 in
    ESPN's SportsCentury 50 Greatest Athletes of the 20th Century
    in 1999, the only speed skater to make the list. In 2000, a Dutch newspaper called him the greatest skater ever.
