The ice. The rings. The crowd. The passion.
Looking back on his experiences at the 2006 Olympics, United States figure skater Matthew Savoie has much to be proud of.
The 25 year-old from Peoria, Ill. finished seventh overall in Torino, just behind his American teammates Evan Lysacek and Johnny Weir, who finished fourth and fifth respectively. His path to the Olympics was unique, though, especially in comparison to most figure skaters.
