A Gold Medal in Love

Five-time gold medal-winning figure skater, Jenny Kilmer, has won the women抯 Olympics since she was 16. At 36, she is attempting to win her sixth straight gold medal. Kilmer has been blessed to have such fame and fortune with sporting equipment endorsements and TV contracts. She has gotten everything that he has set out to get, except for one thing: love.

Love is what has been eluding her. She has had many relationships, but none that have transpired into anything beyond just a relationship. Her latest relationship with Scott seemed to be destined to the same scenario.

Since two years old, Jenny抯 life has been all about skating. Her intensive training has obviously paid off professionally because of her gold medals, but personally, even her trainer, Yon, cannot stand to be around her. It was five days until the Women抯 Olympic medal competition.

Yon asked her, 揇o you think that you抮e gonna find that special guy like that girl did in that movie, 慣he Cutting Edge?挃 he said in his Russian accent. 揧ou are ten times the spoiled brat that she was.?揂bsolutely,?said Jen. 揑抦 Jenny Kilmer. America抯 Sweetheart. Every man wants me.?揢ntil they get to know you,?Yon retorted. 揃ut they get together in the end.?揂ctors get together in the end, not skaters!?揥hatever, Yon.?揧ou know I am right. Scott is on to you like the others. You don抰 need anybody. No one is gonna tell the great Jenny Kilmer what to do! What has it cost you??揂llright, allright, Yon.?揌ave you not learned anything about love since we抳e been working together? Since you were 16? When it comes to love, you still talk like a 16-year old. Your mother and your father are at their rope抯 end with you. Your agents put up with you because you make them money.?揥hy are you still here, Yon? You can coach anyone you want. You抳e got your five gold抯 with me. What抯 keeping you here??揑 want to see you come full circle. You抳e got nothing more to prove in skaing. The pressure is totally off of you in this Olympics. I am partly to blame for you being the way that you are. I have pushed you too much for too long.?揝o, what are you saying??揑 have made my dreams into your dreams and I am sorry. I want you to win the Gold Medal卛n love.?揃ut, why are you saying this now? After all this time??揝cott loves you with all of his heart. Do you remember when you broke your ankle two years ago at the Nationals when you tried the quadruple lutz? He went on to the ice and carried you off. He doesn抰 care about your skating. He cares about you! He cancelled a multimillion-dollar building project to be with you for two weeks after your injury. He lost dollars after dollars for his company, got demoted and risked getting fired for you. He slept in the chair in your hospital room for two weeks! That抯 love! Scott is one of the greatest things to ever happen to you and you cannot see this. You are headed to becoming a bitter old maid! You抳e got another half-hour till practice is over. Skating- it抯 what you抮e best at. Go on!?
For one of the first times in her 36 years, Jen Kilmer was silenced, but not without tears of sadness and despair. She could not stop crying卐ven after practice ended.

The next day, Kilmer fell time after time attempting to do a quadruple lutz. Very few skaters have ever successfully done the quad lutz.

Yon coached Kilmer, 揧ou are not falling because you don抰 know how to do the quad lutz. You are falling because Scott has not called in a week.?揥hat else am I gonna do, Yon??Kilmer asked. 揅all him again and apologize to him ?for real this time. At least you抣l know you抳e tried. If you don抰 see him again, so be it.?
The day of the Women抯 medal event arrived. Several of Kilmer抯 competitors had subpar performances, which eased the pressure even more for her. Still卙er pressure was not on the ice. She could probably do a very safe program and still win the gold.

Jenny and Yon were in the locker room. Kilmer was stretching as part of her warmup routine. She spoke apathetically to Yon. 揝cott抯 not gonna show, Yon. I抳e pushed him away like all the other guys before him. I抳e been the biggest bitch to him. He put up with so much of my crap. I won抰 be able to show any of my children my gold medals because there won抰 be any husband to start a family,?she said confessingly as she started to cry. ?I AM gonna be a bitter old skating commentator for some TV network and I抣l smile my typical smile and show to the world that Jen Kilmer is the happiest woman in the world. I抦 such a phony.?
Kilmer抯 name was announced on the public address, which meant that it was time for her two-minute warmup before her program.

Kilmer skated gracefully and confidently as usual. She was a skating legend. In her mind, she was just going through the motions. She nailed some practice double and triple lutzes, which she could do in her sleep.

As she skated toward her coach, she formed a puzzled look on her face. Yon was smiling and laughing next to a man who had his back turned to her. Jenny braked and as the man who was laughing with Yon turned around.

揝cott,?Jenny said straining to say his name. She was finally able to get her breath. 揥hy? Why are you here? I thought I lost you.?揟hat抯 what Yon thought too until I called him,?said Scott. 揧ou called Yon, but you didn抰 call me??揇on抰 push it.?I love you, Scott,?she said. 揟hank you for being with me after I broke my ankle. You抳e always been there for me and I抳e treated you like crap. Like I told you on your message-phone, I am so sorry.?揂ll is forgiven, my dear. You can thank Yon for it.?Kilmer smiled at her coach. 揑抦 doing the quad lutz. And I抦 gonna nail it!?揂re you insane? If you wanna win a sixth gold, don抰 go for the quadruple lutz! You were lucky four years ago, but remember what you did last year in the Nationals? You fell flat on your ass!?Yon reminded her. 揑抦 gonna have fun this time, Yon. For the first time in the Olympics, I抦 gonna have fun because I finally got everything that I抳e wanted. This is it. After this skate, I抦 done. I抳e won the gold this year.?Yon nodded his head with approval and a slight smile. Scott had a puzzled look on his face. 揧ou haven抰 skated yet.?揙h yes I DO HAVE the gold,?she took Scott in her arms. 揌e抯 right here and I抦 never gonna let him go,?she sniffled. 揑 have five gold medals. Now I want some babies. Will you marry me??揧es!?said Scott surprised. 揑 love you, Jen with every bone in my body.?
Scott and Jenny kissed passionately as a couple of Olympic officials walked up to Yon to let him know that his skater was next. When they were done kissing, Yon tapped Jen on the shoulder. 揥ell then,?said Yon, 揧ou抳e got one more skating duty. As you said, have fun.?He smiled widely. As her named was announced, Kilmer skated onto the ice with the biggest grin she ever had on her face. The crowd抯 applause had never been louder for America抯 Sweetheart. Kilmer could not hold back the tears of joy. She knew it was her last skate. Jenny Kilmer had won the gold even before her program. She won the gold medal in love.
