Gymnastics and Figure Skating Romantically Linked

About a month ago on this very blog, I mocked the idea that figure skating and gymnastics had any common ground to explore in response to the State Farm Figure Skating and Gymnastics Spectacular that featured a live "rock" performance by Ashely Tisdale. Here is the original post.

But even if linking the two sports, one winter the other summer, felt a bit forced to this gym and skating fan, it led to the union of Olympic champions in both sports. According to People, Evan Lysacek and 2008 all around gold medalist, Nastia Liukin are officially dating, having met on the set of the show.



Evan, I hereby take back my marriage proposal. I would've gone younger for you but you chose a different gymnast.
