GOLD


Where do I even begin?

So in case you haven't heard, Evan Lysacek won the GOLD medal last night!!!!! It was a very exciting event and also a very close event. We are thrilled that he beat Plushenko!

Immediately following the end of the event, we hosted a big party for him at the USA House. The place was crawling with famous people! Vera Wang, Nastia Liukin and Wayne Gretzky...just to name a few! I also got to meet Stacey Dales (famous women's basketball player from U of Oklahoma) last night - I got to work with her to set up some interviews...that was pretty cool!

Compulsory Dance starts tonight...there is a STRONG possibility that we will also medal in ice dance so be sure to keep watching! Our dancers will also skate the original dance and free dance on Sunday and Monday.

BTW - found out last night that Apolo Ohno is living about 5 houses down from us. Wild!

Also, just to keep everyone in the loop, here are a couple of fun websites to visit:
