Now American audiences will have a chance to see the twisting double axels, flying camels, and sizzling sit-spins that have made The Netherlands Sjoulcje Dijkstra (pronounced Shaw-keya Dike-stra), 22, European, world and Olympic champion. Outdistancing Sonja Henie as the world's most highly paid winterland performer, Sjoukje signed a two-year contract with the U.S.'s Holiday on Ice show for a reported $50,000 to $90,000 a year, a fancy figure that, if she likes to wear...
