Carolina Kostner - Olympic Figure Skating InterviewItaly's Carolina Kostner is a favorite in Women's Figure Skating at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. A few minutes on the ice in Vancouver change her life forever. She is gearing up and getting ready to be one of this winter's Olympic Stars. When she spoke with us, Carolina was the top ranked female figure skater in the world.
5. How do you decide what music to pick and what outfit to wear at an event?
I need to love it! That’s all.
6. How many days a week do you train and for how long?
Follow Up: Ok, so we're disappointed with Carolina's answers or lack there of, but hey she is the top ranked figure skater in the world. Maybe she is a woman of few words. I'm thrilled she spok to us. Carolina is still unknown to most Americans but could emerge as the top female star of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Maybe if she has a good skate in Vancouver, everyone can throw stuffed animals with hats on them, onto the ice. Then she'll owe us. ;) Many of these winter sport athletes only get one chance at fame, it's amazing to watch how they're trying to give her as much exposure as possible leading up to and during the Olympics. However so much will depend on only a couple of minutes when she is on the ice in Vancouver. Hopefully she'll live up to the hype, and I encourage everyone to check her out.
