On January 5, 2003, beautiful Anni Friesinger of Germany
was crowned Ice Speed Skating Champion of Europe at Thialf
Ice Stadium in the Netherlands, along with Gianni Romme of
the Netherlands in the men's category.

following letter in her Web site guest book. If you

Happy Birthday Anni from California!
I traveled from Los Angeles to Heerenveen last weekend,
to watch the European Ice Speed Skating Championships,
and since I usually write articles about skating on wheels,
this was my first big ice speed skating event (I decided
to attend my first ice event in a country where they REALLY
appreciate speed skating and skaters... I sure did pick
the right place - speed skaters are like rock stars in NL!)
I was absolutely thrilled to be there in person to watch
you skate, and even more excited on Saturday when you
allowed me to take a photo and gave me one of your
autographed cards (maybe you remember... I was
accompanied by photographer Ewoud Broeksma).
Now I have seen for myself that not only are you a
beautiful and incredibly talented skater, but also a
lovely and gracious person who appreciates her fans and
is kind to them.
Speed skating is getting very popular in the United
States (since the 2002 Olympics) so I will be writing
many articles about your sport in the future. I will
also be following your career very closely! Any time
you have a special press release I hope you will send
it to me at
skatelog@gmail.com.
