No, the lovely skater in the Ice Dancing Gold winner didn’t lose her mother. It will be a single figure skater tonight, Joannie ? from Canada whose mother died at 55 after just arriving in Vancouver
The Gold and Silver ice dancers were fabulous. They have started a revolution with their style. Belbin and Agosto were silver winners at the last olympics where the Russians won. And it was obvious that the Russains and Belbin and Agosto-who are very lovely young people who felt that the Canadians deserved the Gold-do have the same Russian coach in Pennsylvania. This will probably be their last Olympics. The Canadian Gold pair and our silver ice dancing pair are friends and have the same coach in Michigan. I think the 2 different styles are obvious and it may be the end of the Russian dominance.
Thank you for the correction. I am thrilled to see North America finally getting some top skating awards.
