Sports Intro for February 20, 2014 Dear Gossips, Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse, the first female bobsledders to win back-to-back gold medals at the Olympics.

Sports Intro for February 19, 2014 Dear Gossips, Yulia. It was Yulia Lipnitskaya who dominated the discussion on the ladies’ figure skating side last week. Some believe she was over-judged.

Sports Intro for February 14, 2014 Dear Gossips, Evgeni Plushenko has retired. And that sucks. Because the competition lacked a lot of hips yesterday. We all lose when there aren’t enough hips.

Sports Intro for February 13, 2014 Dear Gossips, Shani Davis did not win yesterday although he still has a chance for another gold on Saturday.

Sports Intro for February 12, 2014 Dear Gossips, A tie at the Olympics! Switzerland’s Dominique Gisin and Slovenia’s Tina Maze crossed the finish at exactly the same time.

Sports Intro for February 11, 2014 Dear Gossips, Sasha and I are not speaking right now.

Maybe it’s for the best. Jacek told By Lainey • Feb 11, 2014 09:32 am
Sports Intro for February 10, 2014 Dear Gossips, Do you think there’s a fix? After all, L’Equipe is not STAR Magazine. And L’Equipe is reporting that Russian and American officials are colluding to shut out the reigning Olympic Ice Dance champions, from Canada, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. Both countries are vehemently denying By Lainey • Feb 10, 2014 08:57 am

Sports Posh & Becks cover Paris VOGUE Victoria Beckham guest edited the new issue of Paris VOGUE. I wonder if this would have happened if Carine Roitfeld was still in charge.
