Mystery Person

Clue 1: I was born in Britain in 1881.

Clue 2: In 1908, I became the first woman to win an Olympic gold medal in figure skating.

Clue 3: Officials said that the long skirts worn by female competitors at the time made it hard to judge their footwork. I started a new trend by wearing slightly shorter skirts.

Who am I? _________________
