Dick Button won the Men's Olympic figure skating title in 1948 and in 1952. He was the first American to win an Olympic ice skating title and the only American to win two Olympic gold medals in figure skating.

Tenley Albright was the first American woman figure skater to win both a skating world championship and an Olympic gold medal. She won the world championship in 1953 and the gold medal at the 1956 games.

Thought Evan Lysacek looked good on Leno - he would be good on a soap.

When I first watched Everwood, I thought that the guy playing Reed (who is now on the Bold and the Beautiful) and Evan looked a lot alike.

If GL was still on Evan could have skated on a frozen pond.
