Joannie Rochette – Ladies Figure Skating

After one of the most courageous skates in Olympic history on Tuesday, Joannie Rochette is ready to skate her heart out again tonight during the Ladies’ Free Skate. Currently ranked fifth in the world, Rochette rocketed to third place after a flawless short program and is looking to be the first Canadian woman to win an Olympic medal in women’s figure skating since Elizabeth Manley in 1988! Even if she doesn’t win a medal, her brave performance on Tuesday made her a champion in the hearts of all Canadians!
