John Baldwin, Jr. (born October 18, 1973 in Dallas, Texas) is an American figure skater. He currently competes in pairs figure skating with Rena Inoue, his partner both on and off the ice. They have twice won gold medals at the United States Figure Skating Championships and finished 7th at the 2006 Winter Olympics. Previously, he competed as a singles' skater, with a best finish of 9th at Nationals in 1995.
Baldwin and Inoue were the first pair to successfully perform a throw triple Axel in competition at the 2006 U.S. Figure Skating Championships. They made Olympic history by landing it again during their short program at the 2006 Winter Games.
Baldwin and Inoue earned the gold medal at the 2006 Skate America event after winning the short program and placing second in the free skate. They won the silver medal at Skate Canada the next week; and finally took the silver at Trophee Eric Bompard one week later. They officially qualified for the Grand Prix Final at the conclusion of the pair's event at the NHK Trophy competition, the last competition in the grand prix. Their goals for the 2006/2007 season is to make history (once again) and land a quad throw. They also want to win the 2007 National, World and Four Continent Championships.
