Wow, just watched the end of the ice dancing

how amazing!! Huge congrats to Russia for winning that! I've been cheering them all the way. I was a bit nervous because I thought the Americans were good too, great even, but the best won in the end

I sooooooooooo love all the ice skating!

I'm a bit ashamed to say I am relieved that the British womens curling team is now out (damn, the mens is still in) because maybe they'll stop showing the boring curling when there are muuuuuuuuch more exciting events on!!!

Because falling is easy, it's getting back up that becomes the problem...becomes the problem...if you don't believe you can find a way out you become the problem...become the problem...

I am sooooooooo with you here! I loved the competition. All top 5-6 pairs perfermed at a very high level (Unlike in previous competitions where there was a clear winner) It certainly made more exited to wacth. And my favourite couple won

I am upset though for the french. I think they were better than Ukrainians and I would certainly given them award for originality. And I still don't quite understand why Bugarians had deductions

Yeah it was more nailbiting this time!! My fave couple won too

And yeah!! The French had more fun in theirs. I loved the glove thing, it was awesome, lol!!!

Ice dancing was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! Most beautiful sport in the Olympics without a doubt!
I was watching it all 4+ hours with so much tension!
Kostomarov and Kavka were the best!! I started breathing less when I was watching their performance. Congrats Rus for the 3d medal in skating! /m\

Tho, I'm not pleased with judges from the beginning, French team was awesome indeed, I'd definitely give them a medal. Especially this trick with gloves rocked, even tho it has nothing to do with technics.

Yes, that one was a terrible one! Probably the worst I've ever seen

These are not very serious falls. Most of them a re actually stupid and could have been avoided. One of the American papers called these Olympics FALLFEST

Scratchy · 02-20-2006, 08:17 PM

It was horrible indeed, they showed it on TV few days ago, I even closed my eyes!

Fallfest? lol
No wonder, 5 falls in 3days of ice dancing!
