David Wilkinson Jenkins (born June 29, 1936) is a retired American figure skater. He competed in the singles at the 1956 and 1960 Olympics and won a bronze and a gold medal, respectively. In 1956 he lost to his elder brother Hayes Alan Jenkins.[1]
Jenkins was a strong jumper for his time. He performed a triple axel jump in a 1957 exhibition, 21 years before that jump was landed for the first time in competition.[2]
Following the 1960 Olympics, Jenkins declined to compete at the 1960 World Figure Skating Championships. Instead, he turned professional, taking a leave of absence from his studies at Case Western Reserve Medical School to appear in Ice Follies.[3] After graduating, he became a practicing physician.[1][4]
