"SARAH HUGHES BIOGRAPHY ON BOOK SHELVES"
"Sarah Hughes: Skating to the Stars" by Alina Sivorinovsky (Berkley Books) hits the shelves on December 4, 2001.
This unauthorized biography of figure skating's reigning Ladies World Bronze Medalist Hughes traces her rise from local competition to her break-through at the U.S. Nationals and World Championships, and features eight pages of color photos, just in time for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, UT.
"I think this is going to be a break-out season for Sarah in terms of recognition by the general public," explains author Sivorinovsky, "Thanks to the Olympics, a lot of people are going to be introduced to her skating for the first time. She's a fresh, new face to the Games, but, based on how she's been skating this season - especially beating last year's World Gold and Silver medallists, Michelle Kwan and Irina Slutskaya, at "Skate Canada" - she clearly has a very good chance to win an Olympic medal. New fans are going to want to know who she is and where she came from, and this book will answer all of their questions. As for fans who've been following her career since she first won Nationals as a Junior, this book will be compilation of Sarah's career heading into the 2002 Nationals, Olympics and Worlds."
Author Sivorinovsky previously published two editions of "Inside Figure Skating" (METRO Books), as well as four romance novels, and has worked as a skating researcher and television producer for ABC, NBC and Turner Sports. She is also the Contributing Editor to "International Figure Skating Magazine."
