Joannie Rochette

Ok, since this board has been a little dead lately I thought I'd share this.  I'm sure most of you have heard about Joannie Rochette a figure skater from Canada who was set to compete in the Olympics starting yesterday (Tuesday).  Her parents were there to see her compete and on Sunday her mother died suddenly of a heart attack.  Rochette decided to skate last night and if you haven't seen it yet, you should check it out.  She did a great job, but beyond that the way the audience supported her was really great.  I can't imagine going through what she has and being able to keep as much composure as she did prior to and throughout the performance (she does, very understandably break-down post performance).  If you haven't seen it I found the video here:

Just thought I'd share!

  • Both her short and long program were incredible.  As a former skater I can't even imagine how hard it was to compete.  My mom and I are very close and my mom only ever missed one competition and I don't think I would of been able to do what she did in that situation.  My heart goes out to her and her father as they go back to their every day life and mourn her loss.
