What a badass! Figure skating competitively and going to Stanford? MAY HERO! <3 When I get home from work I'll totes watch some of the videos! Thank you for putting this together!
And I like the fact that she scandalized the ISU with her pants. (But, that was a long ban).
Sometime I wonder if amongst the African-American community they truly understand what Debbi accomplished. Because most of the time they seem to just make fun of her for placing third in the Olympics, when it fact it was a major accomplishment. And I also believe (correct me if I'm wrong) she was the first African-American to medal at the Olympics.
I know she was definitely the first African-American to medal at the Winter Olympics, but I think George Poage was the firt one to medal at an Olympics overall, winning Bronze. (I think he was also the first African-American to compete in any Olympic games as well)
