2010 Winter Olympics Silver Medalist Amanda Evora

Our very own Amanda Evora placed 10th in the 2010 Winter Olympics at Vancouver, Canada together with his partner Mark Ladwig. Evora and Ludwig were chosen to represent the United States at the 2010 Winter Olympics where they earn silver medals. Although Filipino-American Amanda Evora and her partner Mark Ladwig were on top of the standings early in the short course and free skate programs in the Winter Olympics  figure skating competition at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, Canada and eventually finished in tenth place,   they delivered an impressive performance but fell way behind the medal winners. Evora was born in New York, New York. Her family moved to Houston in 1995. Before that, they had lived in Bahrain, Dallas, and Virginia. She is Filipino-American. Both Evora and Ladwig show amazing heart and soul beyond the technical skills.
