New Update

Just a quick news update on random Olympic happenings:

Images of Lindsey Vonn, Seth Wescott, and Shaun White will grace Wheaties boxes. Vonn placed third in a downhill training run in Switzerland this week.

Joannie Rochette eulogized her mother at her funeral in Quebec on Thursday.

Soviet great gymnast Natalia Laschenova, who won a gold medal as a member of the 1988 Olympic team is in danger of being deported from the United States after living and working in Ohio for 10 years. If deported, it is possible that she might not be granted citizenship in Latvia if she cannot prove that she speaks fluent Latvian. her daughter's gymnastics scholarship to Auburn is also now in question.

The USA Youth Luge Championships were last weekend. Jacob Hyrns and Elisabeth Underwood won the Youth A men's and women's races respectively and Johnny Gustafson and Caroline Goyette won the Youth B division races.

Evan Lysacek will dance his way to post-Olympic glory on the next season of Dancing with the Stars.
