February 09, 2014

And the suburbs have ties to nearly a dozen other Olympians competing in ice sports in Sochi this week, including three suburban curlers, two bobsledders, a hockey official, a handful of skating coaches, and three local figure skaters (not including 2010 gold medalist Evan Lysacek, of Naperville, who bowed out a few weeks ago due to injury).
