The 2010 Winter Olympics: Vancouver, Canada

[McClaire]

Anyone noticed that almost ALL the ice skaters are falling on the ice? I don't remember that many people falling before.

Men's halfpipe was amazing! Not very radio-friendly but Peetu got silver

Oh, according avril-l.org we gonna see Avril!

AVRIL PERFORMING AT OLYMPICS 2010

Posted on 16 Feb 2010 by Melissa
ET Canada has confirmed tonight that Avril will be performing at the closing ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver on Feb 28! YES! Wonder what song she'll sing? My bet is on Alice since the movie comes out that following week, along with old time favorites.

So,men ice skate finals are tonight,can't wait to see the results

Hope Lambiel will get in top 3,and I'm sure he will becouse there is a difference between him and Pluschenko in only 6 points,so it's not something unreachable.

Oh yes he did, I knew those snowboard boys won´t let us down B)

I'm SO excited about Plushenko defending his Gold!!!

He's in a class of his own imo .

Hope Lambiel will get in top 3

I hope so too! Stephane's short program was beautiful, I thought it deserved abit better than (was it) 5th?

^OMG! Shaun White was freakin ridiculous! A double mctwist 1260 on a victory lap?! He's insane!

He is CRAZY!!! But I loves it! Props to Scotty Lago too for the bronze

Lol. I found the media coverage of it all so "tabloid-y"

Gotta love the fact that there's a virtual three-way tie between Plushenko, Lysacek, and Takahashi.
No one saw this coming.

I particularly loved Lysacek's near-flawless short program. I thought it deserved more than the score of 90.

And I love Johnny Weir for having the courage to be himself.

^Pokerface! How can anyone forget?

Just going to jump on the figure skating bandwagon here

Vindictively hoping the men's free will have just as many surprises as the pairs...I know the sport more or less, so I ought to get a few laughs out of the falls.

 

[MyNameIs]

Ugh, can't believe how terribly Ukraine is doing. Not a single medal. My goodness.

 

[Leeroi]

I am really upset with NBC right now. I hope they know they're losing to almost every other tv show on right now because of their very poor sport coverage. And yet they wonder why they can't sell any advertisement space.

The mens free skate started like an hour and a half ago and NBC is yet to show any coverage from it.

^I know! All this waiting...
But then again, I only care to see the performances of the top 7 or 8 skaters.
Here's hoping for a victory over Plushenko.

Yeah, but Brian Joubert is on the ice right now!

Even if he isn't in medal contention, it still would be nice to see.

I think they're going to wait until the 3rd and 4th group goes.

 

[Leeroi]

edit: looking at the scores; I think Brian Joubert just fell. no where near the podium.

 

[maxlinden]

yes two american women for metal

 

[ponytrot]

Here's hoping for a victory over Plushenko.

My fingers are crossed for Plushenko to win Gold!!

To me, Plushenko is King.



However I actually like Evan as well, his programs are like ballets, very beautiful.

May the best man win!

ETA: And YAY for Torah for snowboarding gold!!! Go aussies!
