I hope we can fill this thread with new adventures for D/W. Happy they still skate together while at the same time exploring new ventures. Still my faves...
“There is this sort of myth that being a strong person is being a self-sufficient person and asking for help or needing help is a sign of weakness,” he said. “We want to be there for our athletes not by trying to have or to act as if we have all of the answers, but instead to normalize, make acceptable and encourage the idea that going out and finding help when you need it is a sign of strength.

Great listen! Always admired him but his vision for his school is amazing and I hope he has much success. Very insightful conversation.Charlie is a guest on Polina’s podcast this week:

I chat with Olympic Ice Dance Champion Charlie White about his lifelong career with partner Meryl Davis, his love story with fellow competitor and now wife Tanith White, how he handled the pressure of 2010-2014 seasons to win Olympic gold, life lessons he learned along the way, the importance of...bleav.com
Some of them had no idea how to skate. But now? Five years later?
Their improvement is inspiring, both on the ice and off.
“It's just really beautiful,” said Cassidy Conley, 16, of Detroit, a member of Figure Skating in Detroit, a program that brings figure skating to inner-city girls. “How much we can grow and learn with each other. It's just amazing.”
Fifty-two figure skaters train every week at the Jack Adams Memorial Arena in northwest Detroit. But it’s so much more than a skating program. It’s a mix of figure skating, tutoring and leadership training. The goal is not to make Olympic ice skaters. It’s to produce well-rounded student-athletes. To ignite a passion and to offer opportunities.
“Figure skating is an expensive sport,” said Meryl Davis, the Olympic gold medal ice dancer, who is on the program’s leadership committee and a member of the champions committee. “It hasn't been a particularly diverse sport historically, so we focus on giving access to girls of color in the city of Detroit.”
Davis will headline a fundraiser for the program on March 5 at Campus Martius.

So not our business—I know you mean well but pregnancy is so personal and individual! I know many women who don’t have a first until after 40; others who struggle with infertility and ultimately go alternative routes; and, many women (even ones in relationships) who simply decide to be child free (or, maybe just stick with fur babies)!I am waiting for the Meryl is pregnant post. So silly I know... but I would love to read good news...
Don't try to take the fun away I did not read that as a snoopy or speculative comment. I saw it as life is so crazy right now, what in the world will happen next.So not our business—I know you mean well but pregnancy is so personal and individual!

There are so many different ways to be a mother now so, I always say, best not to speculate—even though I’m sure Meryl would make an awesome MOM at whatever time and in whatever ways she ultimately decides to be one.
