How do you feel since winning the Olympic gold medal? Lipinski: It was fun coming back to the States. I really felt it more when I got back here. Being with friends and family, it has sunk in. Every once in a while I can’t believe this is happening. The last couple of days, I’ve kept it in sight. 2. Do you intend to compete in the Olympics again four years from now? Lipinski: I can’t think about that right now. It’s so exciting, winning and skating this next year. 3. What music do you skate to? Lipinski: Last summer I skated to ‘Reach’ by Gloria Estefan. This year I want to use a song by Celine Dion. I haven’t choreographed any new show programs yet. We’ll see. I love Celine Dion. I wanted to meet her and I did today. That was pretty cool. 4.
