}} Jordan Malone (born April 20, 1984) is an American short track speed skater who was a member of the US Olympic Team for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. He is from Denton, Texas, and is an alumnus of the Texas Tech University Independent School District. Jordan competed in the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. During one of the Olympic days, Malone got stuck in a bathroom and, later that same day, got stuck in an elevator. ==Personal life== Jordan is a -year-old native of Denton, Texas and the only child of single mom, Peggy Aitken. He's lived in Nante, France; Oldebroek, the Netherlands; Long Beach, California; Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Salt Lake City, Utah. His unusual life has taken him around the world to over 154 different cities in 18 different countries on 4 different continents. In 2013 Jordan eloped with his fiancé Angela Kim in a beautiful chapel in Las Vegas. Though he put his education on hold, Jordan plans to go to college and get an engineering degree. Jordan enjoys building and has started a business called Full Composite Racing. Jordan makes the "tips" that skaters wear on their fingers for when they put their left hands on the ice on turns. Jordan wasn't happy with the tips the skaters were using, which broke a lot and often didn't stay on. So he experimented with carbon fiber, a super strong material that is also difficult to work with. Jordan Malone now supplies much of the national team, at cost, and sells tips to other skaters to make his money back on the initial investment. In a quote from his Official Webpage Jordan says: "I spend my free time like most people my age. I go to movies, hang with my friends, have a few hobbies, and just like being lazy sometimes. I also take my puppy Oly (short for Olympic) to the dog park almost every night. He's a one-year-old West Highland Terrier, and a breath of fresh air several times a day. (Oly accompanied Jordan to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.) Also on my off days, I try to get in a few hours of paintball, another sport I've dabbled in since I was 13. It's always a great way to get rid of some stress before Monday begins." Just recently Jordan also became a certified Scuba Diver. Jordan is currently a junior at the University of North Texas, in the Engineering school. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jordan Malone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
