After conquering gold at the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Games, when he was 16, the bathroom moved to Simsbury, Connecticut, and trained to a sports complex there. The skater has changed the American cities, settling in a locality in Pennsylvania, where she met her husband, Carlo Farina, with whom he has a daughter, Sophia, 10 years old. In 2022, his family came to Louisiana, buying the villa for $ 600,000.
The house for sale has five bedrooms, seven fireplaces, six garages and five bathrooms. It was built in 1925 for an oil tycoon, and the Oksana family has renovated it in the last three, investing a lot of money in the restoration of the villa, which is said to be the most beautiful in Shreveport.

“I made all the money in the world, I lost all the money in the world,” said the former great athlete. “I have been married, now I am divorced. But when you fall on the ice, do you know how many times you have to get up?”
In August, the bathroom, who was an alcoholic, but has not drank for two years, announced that he had separated from her husband, after 13 years of marriage. “Dear friends, dear extended family, I am addressing you today from the perspective of personal experiences: I and my husband divorce,” wrote the former skater on social networks.
“I came here from Las Vegas,” said the bathroom of a radio station in Louisiana. “My daughter was born in Las Vegas. She is already there. I visited her and we skipped together.”
In 2014, the bathroom was convicted of paying $ 45,000, after a successful NBC and an advertising agent, claiming that the image was used without its permission to promote two shows in 2011 and 2012, despite its refusal to participate.
In the same year, a judge rejected the start of a trial of $ 400 million filed by the bathroom, in which the former world and Olympic champion claimed that her agents stole over $ 57 million in a “dubious business” after signed a contract in 1994, when Oksana was only 16 years old.
