Member Services Control Panel Email Archive Behind Every Great Skater - Megan Faulkner, Tara's coach Megan Faulkner, Tara's long time and current coach from Houston, TX, has coached Tara for the better part of a decade now, a partnership that began well before Tara's victory at the Olympics in 1998. This interview is the first in our series of exciting articles that we will be bringing you here at TaraFans.com. Megan took the time to share her insights with us on a variety of topics spanning Tara's entire career, from roller skating at age three, to her current professional life. Steve: When did you first start working with Tara and what could she already do as a skater? Did she show any strengths or weaknesses due to her previous background in roller skating as a child? Megan: I started working with Tara November of 1991. She could do the axel, double sal and toe, and cheated double flip and lutz. She didn't have a double loop as that is the last jump that roller skaters learn. From roller skating she was a very strong spinner. Steve: What was Tara's first event under your leadership?

Special Olympics History Special Olympics Philosophy The Special Olympics is celebrating the 30th Anniversary of it's creation this year. In July 1968 Senator Ted Kennedy announced the establishment of Special Olympics, Inc. Eunice Kennedy Shriver was the motivating force behind the Special Olympics Program, and is still active in the organization. For the mentally retarded, sports and physical activity are the quickest, surest road to health, growth and self-confidence. The retarded have always been told "you can't do it." Special Olympics contribute to a more positive self image. The increasing slef-confidence then carries over into all aspects of the Special Olympians' lives, helping the individuals to live more independent and satisfying lives. Special Olympics is sports in it's truest sense. The goal is not only to win, but to try; to experience, not to conquer. Special Olympics is unique in that everyone has a chance to win, since competition is grouped by age, se and also ability divisions. No time is too slow, not distance is too small, to earn a medal, ribbon, hug or sincere "way to go." No records are broken in Special Olympics, except those for courage, determination and sportsmanship. The success of Special Olympics has been made possible by the love and dedication of thousands of volunteers who know that the mentally retarded have important contributions to make to society.

biography By her third birthday, future Olympic figure skating champion Tara Lipinski was convinced walking and running were inefficient ways of moving around. She preferred going faster. Roller-skating was the mode of choice. With wheels beneath her feet, Tara could fly. The fearless toddler eventually entered several age-group competitions, winning a regional championship in New Jersey by age 5. And Tara liked roller hockey even though it attracted more boys than girls. Of course, it was only a matter of time before Tara noticed how fast the kids on ice skates were going- very. Iced "T" Days to Remember The "Tara era" Bumps in the road to Gold The 1997/1998 season started out on a bumpy note for Tara as she finished 2nd at Skate America to fellow American Michelle Kwan. The road became even bumpier as Tara struggled against illness and bad blades to finish 2nd at the Trophy Lalique competition in Paris. Tara proved herself capable of a major comeback just over a month later, however, becoming the first woman to successfully defend her Champion Series Final crown with hard-fought victory over Germany's Tanja Szewczenko in Munich. Tara returned to her roots in Philadelphia for her 2nd title defense of the season at the US National Championships. After a fluke fall in her short program, Tara stood in 4th with a spot on the Olympic team hanging in the balance. Proving herself to be as resilent as she is talented, Tara performed an impressive long program and moved up to take the Silver medal along with a spot on the 1998 Olympic Team.

(Dan Currier/AP) Despite her early difficulties, Rodriguez didn't merely get the hang of speedskating. She went from awful to one of the nation's best in 28 months. Several weeks ago, she won a spot on the U.S. speedskating team, making the transition that her boyfriend, KC Boutiette, also made, going from an elite in-line skater to a world-class speedskater. The satisfaction of this achievement is enhanced by her background. When the Games get underway with Saturday's Opening Ceremonies, she will become the first Hispanic athlete to compete in a Winter Olympics. She also is believed to be the only Miamian. Rodriguez's father, Emilio, was born in Cuba; her mother, from Buffalo, is not of Latin descent. "It's not my main focus but it's in the back of my head," Rodriguez, 21, said after a practice session at the M-Wave, the speedskating venue. "But when I heard I was the only person from Miami to compete in the Winter Olympics and plus to be the only Cuban, that's a really neat thing."

Miles Jr. FAX: 415-SKATE-97 e-mail: CAblader@ix.netcom.com URL: http://web.cora.org/ The Friday Night Skate, that weekly nocturnal gathering of inline humanity that rolls through the San Francisco every Friday has reached a new milestone and also got to participate in San Francisco's Olympic history. The Olympic Torch Run Ceremony organizers needed a group of swift, enthusiastic people to make the public aware of when and where the torch was coming. Five teams of skaters volunteered the time and energy to help get things rollin'. When you saw people lining the streets to watch the torch runners, it was due in large part to the work and determination of this group of skaters who met the torch as it came into San Francisco and worked the entire route to the Embarcadero getting people out there to share this exciting moment in history. As the torch approached downtown San Francisco, the Midnight Rollers began to gather at the Ferry Building in the Embarcadero. At 8:15 the skaters began making their way to the TransAmerica Building at Columbus and Montgomery. They lined both sides of the street and all the intersections as the torch runners came close. The crowd roared as the runners passed by.
