Wondering which men are in contention for a medal in Sochi? Wonder no longer!

I'm so glad you did this! I used to be so into skating and knew every skater and their stories, but in recent years I've gotten away from it and don't follow it that closely anymore - until the Olympics roll around, usually. The men's competition is always my favorite, though. I'm really looking forward to it.

my god I need a very strong drink after that SP.

I love that you do these posts because 1) they are pretty and 2) even tho I am far from a newbie I always learn stuff.

Also, I love Patrick too. I think he gets a bum rap because people are frustrated by scoring but that's not his fault. He is a beautiful skater and super lovely guy. It will be exciting to see he and Hanyu fight for gold.

Right?? I'm drained! That was stressful.

Awww, thank you! You are def not a newbie at all, so that means a lot coming from you. :)

I'm so glad you love Patrick too. I do feel like he gets unfairly blamed for the scoring issues. He can certainly be cocky, I grant, but I've never heard a bad word about him as a person. I really hope he is perfect tomorrow, and may the chips fall where they lie. Uh, but with no falling. :)
