This is What a Real Figure Skater Looks Like



Entirely by default, I was the face of figure skating heading into this week's State Games of Michigan as the only representative in the sport to attend the opening ceremonies. I got a Summer Games bracelet charm and got to walk the field past the cauldron to polite applause as the crowd waited for the 2,000 hockey players parading behind me, as our sports were arranged in alphabetical order. 

I felt like the lone Panamanian at the Winter Games. 

It was still fun, and hey - free bracelet.
