Olympic Dreams Do Come True

I usually talk about the AMAZING time I had in Sydney. I forget the WONDERFUL time I had at a Winter Olympics. That coveted press pass around my neck was my gold medal I had full access to competitions, practices and press conferences. I LOVED every minute of it! And what a blessing that I was there when the skater I had met and interviewed beforehand won the gold! Sooo many memories… God is Good! Here (above pic) I’m watching a little ski jumping and posing in a snow globe.

I’m opening up my Disney vault again to share these photos (above) with Skating Icons! Die-hard fans will recognize all of these giants of the sport. Each photo has a backstory of how I got there. I have tons of other pics that I’ve taken of elite skaters at performances, competitions and practices I’ve attended over the years. I’ll save those for another time. Enjoy these never-before-seen pics.

Now, ready to see a few pics of my own skating days?

I wasn’t content just watching skating and gymnastics on TV. I had to also experience both sports! I spent hours upon hours skating and doing gymnastics during my teen years. I was a unique kind of jock. LOL Here’s a glimpse of my skating days .. I loved doing spirals, sit spins, spread eagles, lunges and more. The images are grainy and the exposure and lighting are off, but hopefully you can get a picture of my skating days. These are never-before-seen images, so enjoy this short video!
