At Sharks Ice, which is Edmunds’ home training base, a huge window sign greeted people, reading: “From Sharks Ice to Sochi! Go Polina!” With many schools on break this week, the rinks were bustling as young figure skaters — nursing their own dreams of future Olympic glory — practiced under banners congratulating Edmunds.
