Happy 25th Birthday, Joannie Rochette!

Happy 25th birthday to a very special skater, Joannie Rochette. I profiled Joannie recently in my tribute to Canadian Figure Skaters , and praised her not only for her beautiful skating, but for her courageous bronze-medal-winning performance at the 2010 Olympics, just days after her mother's sudden death.

In the performance posted below, Joannie skates an exhibition "Fly" by Celine Dion, in honor of her mother, about a month after the Olympics.
