New chances: Nicole Bobek with the Circus

[Jot the Dot Dot]

Curiosity over the Tonya's-woes-vs.-Nicole's-woes made me check on Wikipedia, and found this! My apologies if it's been covered here before: http://web.icenetwork.com/news/2014/11/06/100507978/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ7O1swW6gM

Apparently she had been skating as late as 2012, this was for a fundraiser for fighting breast cancer. https://eveningsong.smugmug.com/Events/Iced-Pink-Breast-Cancer/i-zD3mcLs

Good for Nicole.

Good for her. Knowing her background I don’t think life has ever been easy for her.

@Sylvia, can you please check that link? It goes to an article about Arutunian. Thanks!

I just fixed it, thanks @Wyliefan. Can you delete your quoted bit above? TIA!

It's crazy to imagine Nicole is 40. I still remember seeing her as a 14 year old at the 1992 US Nationals in Orlando.

Done! Thank you!

Oh Nicole... Don't cry out loud. Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings... Remember you almost had it all.

Nicole's picture really should be next to the definition of "charisma" in the dictionary. She just has it. I'm so happy she's doing well these days and is moving forward with her life.

Very cool. It's nice that she still gets to perform and be creative. She had lovely lines so I'm sure she's amazing in her aerial skills. My sister is an aerial performer too; she does the silks but she's practiced on the lyra (hoop) too.

Neat.

I was just going to say that. She exudes it. She should write a book.

Nicole's skating career was a bit of a circus. Learning about her unsettled upbringing, much like Tonya Harding's, I am amazed she was able to achieve as much as she did.

One gig was at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, an estate that Donald Trump has transformed into an exclusive club. Bobek had met him at various skating events over the years, and he instantly recognized her, which slightly shocked her fellow performers.

. . . . . . Now I have some sympathy. I can only imagine why he recognized her.

I think Marla was a skating fan. I remember seeing Marla skating somewhere when married to Trump ( maybe Rockefeller center tree lighting).

Wasn't she a supplier of meth? Why would anyone be happy for her? She was ruining people's lives. I know the addicts chose to buy, but if people didn't sell it, users would not buy it. She was ruining people's lives to make money. I have no sympathy for people who sell those types of drugs. Drug Dealers should be treated the same as murderers. They know the desperation of the people who use.

Wow. What a mess...
