This story covers the three pairs team competing for the gold medal in the 2002 Olympics. It covers their years of training, their families, living conditions, coaches etc. The it covers the actually competition and the fall out of the one FRENCH judge who trade a placement with the RUSSIAN judge. There is even more to the scandal than just the one FRENCH judge. Very well written - couldn't but it down but then I love pairs skating. I loved the book so much I can't force myself to repost it.
