| Lipinski's golden show still tough to beat |
|
"TURIN, ITALY - It's been eight years since Tara Lipinski won the gold medal at the 1998 Nagano Games. And if figure skating were like most Olympic sports, her performance would have been left in the dust by the accomplishments of 21st-century athletes. But if you had popped a DVD of Lipinski's 1998 performance into the player Thursday night, clicked the remote and projected her image onto the Palavela's big screen for the judges, Lipinski probably would have been the most accomplished skater on the ice, and she certainly would have been the best in the air above it."

| Tara article in the chicago tribune |
"By the time she was 15, Tara Lipinski had reached the pinnacle in figure skating. She had won the U.S., world and Olympic championships. Now 23, she has turned her attention elsewhere. She recently landed a role in the TV series "Malcolm in the Middle." Lipinski told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: "It was hard at the beginning because I think casting directors just saw a figure skater. I'd be like, `Come on, you have to see me act.' I'd push and push, and finally they'd let me in, and I would have to prove to them I could act." What about returning to the ice? "Yes, I could come back," she said. "But I won the nationals, I won the worlds, I won the Olympics. They were everything I wanted them to be. . . . I don't want to be `Skating With the Stars.' That is not the kind of skating I want to do. It's nice to have a second part of my life."" - Credit: Swathi

| a few e-mails I got yesterday |
"I was so excited when I watched the video of Tara on Good Morning LA. I have never donated money for Tara's gifts, but I did this time around, and what a great surprise to see she wore the necklace I pitched in to buy for her.. even if it was only five dollars."
"Did you see Tara on Good Morning LA? She is wearing the rose necklace you gave her!"
"Angie- I was sooo shocked to see Tara wearing the pink rose necklace on TV. I didn't know if Tara would wear it, and wondered if she really liked it - obviously she did! How cool!!"
"When I saw Tara wearing the rose necklace on Good Morning LA, all that came to my mind was thank you Angie... I remember you saying that you wanted the fans to pitch in money to buy the necklace, instead of you buying it, so it would be more personal, and then the store the necklace came from made an error, and you ended up having to re-purchase the necklace with your own money (which took over $100 out of your pocket). Seeing the Tara wearing the necklace made me realize how much you do for Tara and her fans. THANK YOU."
"What a great feeling to see Tara wearing her rose necklace, and on TV!!! I contributed money, so that gift was in part from me, what a great feeling to know Tara liked the gift!"
"Such talent you have Angie for always picking out things Tara likes, you two must have the same mind."
"Check out Tara's jewerly on the LA morning show. Look familiar? Thanks for helping the fans keep in such close contact with Tara, if any other fan had sent Tara that necklace she may never have recieved it, and because of you not only did she recieve it, but she wore it on tv!"

Tara is mentioned in this article on skating. Thanks Jeanne.
""The highlight of my career? Tara Lipinski says, repeating a question that at once seems silly after it is asked. The Olympics, of course.
The 1998 champion, who soon after the Nagano Games left the sport for good, always has had an infectious smile. It grows as wide as the rink when she talks about what it took to win that event.
It's hard work, and you have to love the sport so much, says Lipinski, the youngest Olympic champion ever at age 15. I think that shines through. If you don't love it, or you do it for someone else, you won't be able to hang onto it. Not only did I want it, I loved it. You really have to love it from within every corner of your body. " |

There will be a question on Tara in tomorrows USA Weekend...
What is former Olympic skater Tara Lipinski doing now? Acting. She was inducted into the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame last month -- "I never really retired, so the Hall of Fame kind of slipped my mind," she says -- but since 1998, Lipinski, 23, has been working in TV. She lives in Santa Monica, Calif., with three dogs. |
