Here's an update on one of my favorite skaters -- Ekaterina "Katia" Gordeeva, who was at Rockefeller Center Skating Rink promoting the 25th anniversary tour of Stars On Ice. After winning two Olympic pairs titles in 1988 and 1994, she and partner/husband Sergei Grinkov continued their professional touring before Sergei died of a massive heart attack in 1995 at age 28. Katia then raised their daughter Daria as a single mom, began performing as a solo artist, and in 2002, married Ilia Kulik, 1998 Olympic men's figure skating champion. Katia and Ilia have a daughter Liza who is nine. Katia said that Daria is now applying to colleges(!) and she is enjoying every moment of familytime since she'll likely go away for college. Doesn't time fly? Katia will turn 40 in May but watching her skate transports you to the 1990s all over again - she is a timeless skater and an icon in the skating community.



Congratulations! Awesome video of anniversary. I like to celebrate such great anniversary. Thanks for this remembrance.

The world famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree gets lit tonight in a star-studded televised event on NBC. Hosted by Today Show's Al Roker and Natalie Morales, the one hour special beginning at 8 pm ET will feature Mariah Carey, Susan Boyle, Sheryl Crow, Josh Groban, Kylie Minogue, Jessica SImpson, Annie Lennox, Charice, America's Got Talent's Jackie Evancho and many more. Unlike last year, I can't attend this year's ceremony in person (what a bummer!) so I'll be sitting in front of the TV with my tub of popcorn. Below is a short video story we did when the tree was lit last year:
