), not really.
e Olympic gold medal winner
omen’s figure skating was
hg the presenters at this year’s
imy Awards. She and Boyz II
announced that James Taylor
the winner of the Grammy for
pop album for “Hourglass.”
pinski later admitted she didn’t
:e how unusual it was for some-
vho isn’t in the music business
! a presenter at the Grammys.
^uaven’t made a video or a
f c l “‘rd,” she said. “I’m not that
of a singer.”
“ut what she may lack in singing
it, she more than makes up for
latifig ability. At age 15, Lipins-
the youngest person to win a
medal for figure skating. She
'o months younger than Norwe
gian Sonja Henie was when she won
in 1928.
1. 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. Do performers ever ap
proach you, asking you to skate to
their music?
Lipinski: Not yet. I usually pick it.
5. If you could date one of the
three young brothers in Hanson,
which one would it be?
Lipinski: That’s an unfair question.
