Katerina's gold, and the $100,000 sponsor bonus it delivers, surely helps (though another $100,000 from Matt would have been nice). Their post-Olympic dream: build a log cabin, preferably near a lake in Minnesota, and raise some kids. They're quite the happy couple, but make no mistake - there's something missing.
