Olympic figure skating champion falls in love with “the Queen of Bridal Wear” 36 years his senior

Evan Lysacek is a famous figure skater in America, who has won the 2009 World Championships and 2010 Winter Olympics. He is of Czech, Italian, Greek and Syrian descents. And with his tall (1.88m)and outstanding appearance, he is immensely popular. But his many fans are disheartened to learn that he has fallen in love with a rich Chinese designer who is 36 years his senior.

Dubbed “the Queen of Bridal Wear”, Vera Wang is famed for designing wedding dresses. The average cost of a gown from her shop can cost USD 6,000 to 12,000; and if the dress is custom-designed by Wang, it will cost at least USD 25,000 – which means she is loaded with wealth. Many question the love affair between her and Lysacek as they doubt if Lysacek really loves her, or just for her wealth.

However, as a world champion, Lysacek has also made considerable money from commercials. So it might not be reasonable to say that he loves Wang for the money. Lysacek actually said that he prefers mature women. At the same time, Wang, who tried figure skating when she was young, said that she can talk with Lysacek about figure skating all day long. Maybe this is why they have come together.

Sometimes, true love is really inexplicable.

CHICAGO (AP) — Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards is expected to miss the rest of the season after he hurt his left leg Saturday night in a 31-27 victory over the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs.

Coach Ben Johnson said it looks like Edwards “had a fibula fracture which we’ll take him out for the rest of the season here.”

Edwards went down early in the second quarter after his left foot got caught up with the leg of Packers receiver Christian Watson and bent awkwardly. He was fitted with an air cast before he was carted away.

The 29-year-old Edwards was limited to 10 games during the regular season because of injuries. He returned an interception 34 yards for a touchdown in Chicago's 42-38 loss at San Francisco on Dec. 28.

Edwards signed a two-year contract extension with Chicago in April.
