The chinese pair was superbly awesome. We've begun integrating Chinese super-acrobatics into the routines. We will surely overcome the Russians in 2010!
Kudos to the the Silver medalists!! Very beautiful routine and lots of heart!! Here is the video link to the performance: http://youtube.com/watch?v=vJ-2Mq_wwqk&sea...igure%20skating |

QUOTE(gigiopolis @ Feb 14 2006, 9:01 PM) GAH, it was horrible!! shes so tiny. the announcer person said she was about 90 lbs. its def surprising she didnt hurt herself badly. and their first lift was sooo highhhhhh. but..i thought shen and zhao skated better than zhang and zhang. Inoue and Baldwin were pretty good too and was surprised that they didnt even place. |

But if she had landed it, it wouldve been extremely impressive. I dont even think I can spin 4 times with 2 jumps off the ice.

I had to miss the finals for figure skating since I had practice, but Zhang and Zhang were always my favorite.

Watching Michelle Kwan's story made me tear:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=U3WgIsnXhTY Well, 2008 is summer olympics. But it's true, I don't think anyone will ever get 9 ntl world championships again. * there's an age limit? I just thought at age 29 the odds are nil to ever hit gold * |

There is no age limit.
In one of the Russian figure skating pairs, one tall guy and one shorter woman, the man's 34 years old. =\ |

2008 is summer olympics, no ice skating.
She'll be 29 y/o in 2010 for the next winter olympics. History teaches us that no 29 y/o can get gold. |

QUOTE(salcha @ Feb 14 2006, 8:54 PM) But that doesnt mean she shouldnt compete. True, but she knows she's getting old. Her best performance was probably in the Nationals in 1998 which was about seven or eight years ago. She lost the World Championships in 2004 (or was it 2005?) and well, the older you get, the less beautifully you do your spirals & jumps & other moves. Waatching her for so many years, you gotta understand it's not so easy anymore. But I'm still sad =( |

Okay, the USA in the Olympics as a whole aren't doing too well
 It's like we have all these opportunities to grab the gold, and we just fall short.

QUOTE(salcha @ Feb 14 2006, 7:54 PM) But that doesnt mean she shouldnt compete. I'd reword that as "But that doesn't mean she CAN'T compete." Oh, by all means, Michelle Kwan CAN compete when she's 29. But she'll be old, in the skating world, so I don't think she SHOULD compete.There are SO MANY new, young, fresh, innovative skaters out there that outskate her, technically. She should retire while she's ahead, and not leave the skating world with a bad image. |

SMH @ Lindsey Jacobellis. She pulled a rico, what a disgrace to the US. When you are in the Olympics you are representing your country first and foremost. Did anybody else see her lead in first place then showboat and crash, causing her to get silver instead of gold? What a disgrace.
