An Accused Heretic

but I’m okay with the top three finishers at the ladies event—the only problem I have has to do with Adelina’s being so over-scored.  I mean, the judges should make an attempt to make it less obvious.  But then again, Yuna Kim was over-marked in Vancouver, so you live by the sword, you die by the sword.  I also think Yuna was following the Michelle Kwan way off thinking, in that “All I have to do is stay vertical and I’ll win gold”, forgetting that there are younger skaters behind her, doing technically more difficult programs.

I also have to wonder why Tara and Johnny hate Ashley Wagner as much as they do.  Scotty and Bezic were infinitely fairer to her and that just freaks me out.  I get that the USFSA wants Gracie Gold to be their new face, to be their Number# 1 skater, but they don’t have to be quite so awful to Ashley.

I am proud of how well our Americans did and I'm glad that Mao was able to finish up with such a lovely free skate.

Okay, I need to freak out about the ice dancing short dance--spoilers ahoy:

( My squeeing behind the cut :) )

but I'm still doing it.  We are smack dab in the middle of a Nor-easter and I decided to take the day off of work.  I really had no choice--my street hasn't been plowed yet and the parts of the walkway I shoveled have since gotten recovered in snow.  In short, I'm doing what the weather people advised and I'm staying home.  At least, now I can watch the Men's short program's live :):)

And I know I joke about the Russian Federation freaking out all over their skaters, but you really can see the pressure these poor kids are under.  The two Russian couples that won gold and silver looked like they were about to have a meltdown when it was announced that they medaled.  God love them :):)

Yes, that's right, I must talk about my TV boyfriend, Bob Costas.  The poor man has some sort of eye injury but it's all good because he looks adorable with his glasses:)
That is all :)
