Designed for ages 10 and up, this 13-inch doll captures the elegance and competitive spirit of the 2002 Winter Olympics, making it a must-have for collectors and skating fans. ## Description desertcart.com Since she was young, Barbie has dreamed of being the best skater in the world. Like Michelle Kwan, she has hopes of winning the gold medal at the 2002 winter games in Salt Lake City. With an amazing performance, full of twirls and spins, she is sure to win. To get Barbie spinning, pull a string at her waist and watch her torso twirl in a forward spin; let go and her skirt twirls and her arms gesture up and down. Barbie has an elegant skating outfit featuring glittery tights, cool colored skates that match her outfit (of course), and a sequined geometric-patterned top. Details include an Olympic medal and even a bottle of spring water to keep this Barbie athlete hydrated. Barbie’s knees bend and lock into various positions, and her waist extends forward and back to create either a graceful layback spin or a camel spin. Her arms can also be positioned in numerous variations, as can her head, to create beautiful skating poses to win that perfect 6.0 score. --N.

I've become a Barbie fan because of my granddaughter. Barbie merchandise is cute but over priced. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Gift for an Ice Skater *by B***N on December 20, 2012* My daughter will love it. She is an Ice Skater. Functionality may be off but that is OK for she is a collector ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not as easy as it looks *by K***I on October 20, 2002* This doll is a nice concept, however, it is not easy for a young child to use. As an adult, it wasn't a piece of cake to operate, but for my daughter who was 5 when she received it, it was near impossible. It takes 2 hands and a whole lot of coordination, and with all that work, it isn't much fun. If you have a child interested in figure skating, it would be a nice gift. But, buying for a typical barbie loving child, I wouldn't recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11196045-olympic-winter-games-salt-lake-2002-star-skater-barbie-special](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11196045-olympic-winter-games-salt-lake-2002-star-skater-barbie-special) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
