Making history by being the first lady to win 2 Olympic gold medals in ice dancing, Ukrainian born Pasha (Oksana) Grischuk has finally found peace off the ice as the mother of baby daughter Skyler Grace.

I miss Pasha a lot...best edges I've seen in my whole life, and whole body movement as well...

Congratulations, Pasha! Best to you and your child.

She is quoted as saying "Me and Jeff are very tired..." Is this the father of her child? Who is he? Does anyone know? The article did not mention a father and I was wondering if that was a big secret or if it's known.

From Blades on Ice August News and Updates:

"Two-time Olympic ice dance champion Oksana "Pasha" Grishuk is expecting a baby girl August 20th.
Grishuk, who lives in Los Angeles and operates a skating school, appeared at the LA Champions on Ice reception in Anaheim, California eight months pregnant. Grishuk,31, and the baby's father, Jeffrey Carrillo, 29, have already picked out the baby's name - Skyler Grace."

Outside of this, no one seems to know who Jeffrey Carrillo is.
