Figure skating is a huge sport in Colorado Springs, right up there with cycling. Many Olympians have lived and trained here, and the US Figure Skating Museum and Hall of Fame is here in Colorado Springs, as well as Headquarters. I've only been there once and that was to see a client. Shame on me! I really should visit the museum, since like practically every other female on the planet I love to watch figure skating. During Olympic years I definitely become a figure skating nerd. I've even gone to competitions when they're held around here (I have friends who work for Figure Skating and my mom's a USOC volunteer, so I get free stuff like tickets to skating events).
So anyway I like this sculpture! It's graceful and pretty, and she has a nice view of Pikes Peak if only she'd turn her head to the right ;o)

Man, there's nothing girlier than figure skating, and this statue really captures that, doesn't it? Very feminine & pretty, what a work of art! I'd have stopped and snapped this one, too. In fact, if I had visited as a girl, I probably would have begged for the identical souvenier figurine that I assume is waiting in the gift shop.
Never, ever apologize for attending Olympic competitions! You're so lucky to live in CS and have the opportunity to see them. Actually, people who live in CS and DON'T go see those things should be the ones apologizing. :)
