Figure skating is one of the most demanding sports — there are few sports that require such high performance under such intense pressure and scrutiny. One of my authors, her mother and her grandmother have competed (Colette House at http://www.sportingchancepress.com). I have learned to appreciate the guts it takes to succeed. Kudos to USA and all the athletes around the world who are athlete-artists in figure skating. To be a gold medalist in this sport is an accomplishment that is hard to express with words.
