Plushenko goes for rare golden double
No male figure skater has won successive Olympic titles in almost six decades, but that's not going to stop defending Olympic champion Yevgeny Plushenko. In fact, this chance at Olympic history is what propelled the Russian figure skater out of a 3-1/2 year retirement. Follow along as the men skate for gold this month in Vancouver.
Rippon surges to Four Continents win
Two-time defending world junior figure skating champion Adam Rippon added another victory to his growing resume on Saturday, the Four Continents title. The 20-year-old surged from seventh place to first after a riveting free skate. Japan's Tatsuki Machida was second. Two other Americans -- Brandon Mroz and Ryan Bradley -- placed in the top 5.
Flatt takes ladies title, Cohen comes up short
Rachael Flatt captured her first national title Saturday night at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, then was named to the U.S. Olympic team. She'll be joined in Vancouver by Mirai Nagasu, who was the runner-up in Spokane, Wash. Not invited to the Games was 2006 Olympic silver medalist Sasha Cohen, whose free skate was sloppy and mistake-filled.
Davis-White skate to dance title over Belbin-Agosto
Meryl Davis and Charlie White won their second ice dance title at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships on Saturday, upsetting Olympic and world silver medalists Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto. Davis and White won all three segments of the competition for their first victory ever over Belbin and Agosto. Emily Samuelson and Evan Bates finished in third place.

The rapid road to recovery
The last time I checked in my recovery from shoulder surgery was spot on. My range of motion was good, my strength was returning, and it looked like my AC joint separation was just a bump in the road. Then the X Games rolled into town.

The Games are finally here!
It is finally here. Crazy how you work and prepare for an event for so
long and then all of a sudden it arrives. I am on my way to Vancouver
for my second Olympic Games.

Whistler's calm before the Games
The last few days since my arrival have been lovely. There is the last-minute hustle and bustle that is to be expected, and everyone has been delightful and easy to work with. I now have my uniform and credential, and all is good.
