QUOTE(Gypsy Eyes @ Feb 12 2006, 12:14 AM) I wasn't really impressed with the american pair figure skaters tonight, but the chinese were amazing.  usually, the chinese are really great during ice skating..but today, most of the pairs were going really slow with some bad techniques. |

It was right after mens luge Chinese did well, I'm proud  How disappointing how the second Chinese pair didn't win, but I guess it was hard for the guy. Geez, he only had two weeks of practice because of his torn achilles. |

QUOTE(APPLEjuicex @ Feb 11 2006, 10:09 PM) i missed the ceromony as well but i saw recaps today. i just finished watching mens speed skating..and usa got gold. yay. hes from texas. I know! I was watching the speed skating, and he's from Houston, so when he won, we were pret-ty excited. I think it's crazy that he hasn't been ice skating for long, though. |

Day 4 so far:
 USA rocks at snowboarding  I can't believe Bode placed 5th..it's okay though, because that guy from France was amazing!  And I'm sad for Apollo Anton Ohno (doncha just love saying his name?) because he didn't need to be first, but he tried anyway. GR. Oh well, he'll have chances later to get a medal.

Dude, the only reason I was going to watch the Olympics was because of Michelle Kwan. I watchered her performances growing up so it's hard that she's not going to be able to compete anymore. It's like your hero's gone to do other things.
Well, I guess I'll still watch the Olympics cause of Sasha Cohen. But I still say I liked Michelle Kwan better. |

For some reason, Michelle Kwan never appealed to me. I didn't have a reaction to her dropping out of the Olympics. *shrugs*
EDIT// Did anyone watch figure skating today? WOW. Did you see Zhang and Zhang's fall?! That was freaking amazing how they got back up and kept skating...and won silver, too! |

i read about Zhang and Zhang's fall. it sounded really bad, but i'm proud of how they picked themselves up and got second :D. i'm sure they really deserved it.

There aren't many figure skaters who skate competitively at 25. That and as much as I like Michelle, she shouldn't've gone in the first place. It's time to give the young'ins a chance, which she did after dropping out. |

ah, the chinese...i dont know what their names are but theyre the best chinese pair. the guy messed up his foot which made me feel bad and they had a short story abour their coach when he was young. he was parterned up with a 12 yr old when he himself was 29 or something..the guy would always throw her too hard and everytime, the 12 yr old skater would fall during jumps. they ended up getting last place and the audience laughed. it was pretty sad.
