Baiul, who trains in Delaware when not on tour, has another goal. She hopes somehow to be reinstated as an amateur for the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. It could happen. In figure skating, the line between pro and amateur is so fine people cross over every day. Sometimes two or three times.
Amateurs turn pro, then become amateurs again, depending on the event.
It's very difficult to figure out which is which. Some say Baiul might have trouble regaining amateur status because she competed in several events not sanctioned by the International Figure Skating Union. But that is what I want to do. I want to go back to the Olympics. So much has happened since then, including the filming of a TV movie about her life.
