2006 Grad heads to Vancouver Olympics
Amanda Evora (MCC, 2006) is a United States runner up, with pairs partner Mark Ladwig, and heading to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. This Olympic figure skater has a bit of a complicated work and romantic life. See photos and video below.
With the Winter Olympics fast approaching, it was time to finalize the
U.S. figure skating participants. The U.S. National Championships this
past weekend started out rocky for some and ended up with two entangled
Florida pairs heading to the Olympics. Evora & Ladwig, along with
training partners (and maybe more…wink, wink) Denney & Barrett, will
head to Canada next month. Read more about her interesting biography and
see a video below.
Now that we know what this competitor is up to, let’s look at who she
is. Amanda was born on November 17, 1984 in New York City. At age 25,
she now trains and goes to school in the southern Tampa Bay area.
The two Olympic hopeful pairs are very linked, as they train in the same
place and have the same coach. But if that’s not twisted enough, Evora
has been dating rival Jeremy for 5 years, and the couple now lives together.
She’s not worried about competing against him as she said she’s done it
for years and they know when it’s work and when it’s play! She also described
how it may sound complicated, but that the foursome have found a good
balance.
