Story sounds familiar

 

Let's compare the story of Chinese figure skaters Shen Xiue and Zhao Hongbo with local, recently beloved hero Brett Favre.

- Retired, then came back to compete.

- In love with themselves (Shen and Zhao are married)

- Competing well into their 30s (beyond, in Favre's case)

- Throwing is an important part of the job description

- Have been know to wear purple

- Won them most prestigious championship in their sport this year..... oh wait, no. Shen and Zhao yes, but well, you know.
