15 year old Youngest Russian to Ever Win Olympic Gold, Set to Holocaust Music

Article: 15-year old Yulia Lipnitskaya has won an Olympic gold medal in figure skating. She is the youngest Russian ever to win this medal in ladies single figure skating. Yulia danced to the song from Schindler's List, a Holocaust film, reenacting a girl innocent of the horrors of the Holocaust. She is said to do the fastest spin sequencing in the competition. Yulia was raised in Russia by her single mother; her father joined the Russian army and never returned home. Yulia started training competitively when she was four years old. Yulia insisted on doing the Schindler's List sequence when she became obsessed with the film. A Russian-Jew did the choreography for her performance. Click here for the video of her Olympic-winning performance.
