One of the real advantages of home delivery is you get your Sunday supplements on Saturday.
My local paper's TV supplement has Nicole on its cover, and an article by George Dickie (of Zap2it) about her and the Christmas Day Holiday Celebration on Ice on NBC. The article also includes a picture of Yagudin. Here's a quote from Nicole about turning pro:
"I've been a little bit different from most skaters because I was never very competitive. And I guess when you're in a competitive sport, it's a little bit hard when you're not a competitive person...So I think skating became very hard and very stressful. And you started to just dread skating. You hated to go and practice every day and drill yourself. And I love skating. I've skated since I was 3, and I didn't want to reach that point where it was horrible for me."
The NY Times TV supplement has a full page article about Sarah and her Christmas day special. The page has three full color pictures of Sarah and includes a very nice plug for www.dianesrink.com/sarah. Here's a quote from John Faratzis, the show's executive producer:
"This gold medal victory, as stunning as it was, is going to be, I think, in the long run, an event in her life, not the defining moment. She has friends; she continues to hang with people. She isn't just one-dimensional. She's got a big family, and they've played a role in her development."
The Times article, by Jody Alesandro, starts with a great description of Sarah's finding out she won Olympic gold:
"...she did what any highly disciplined honor-roll student from a big Ivy League family would do: she screamed like a banshee and sank down to the ground..."
Happy holidays!:D
