Roles was asked to come out of retirement following the crash of Sabena Flight 548 , which killed the entire 1961 U.S. figure skating team . She complied and won the gold medal at the 1962 U.S. Championships , making her the first skater to win U.S. national titles on the novice , junior and senior levels . Roles was the only skater to accomplish this until Kimmie Meisner performed the same feat in 2007 . She missed the following season to give birth to her second child
