Excerpt from the beginning:
Aliona Savchenko's story is like that of a Greek epic, one that reached its climax when its heroine finally fulfilled her destiny at the top of the Olympic mountain range Feb. 15 in Gangneung, South Korea.
As in all good epics, Savchenko's journey is marked by waves and revivals. She went through multiple partners before finding the one who could lift her to new heights. She had to endure years of heartbreak and frustration before she could taste victory on the sport's biggest stage. Even when she did achieve her ultimate goal, she did so in unlikely fashion -- when the odds were stacked against her and almost everyone had counted her out.
Everyone, that is, except Savchenko herself.
Yet another well-deserved acknowledgement of her greatness!
