She fell pretty damn hard too. I was sure she had a busted knee. But I'll give her credit for getting back up there and finishing the programme. Go China!
Ahahaha! What would Brian Boitano do, ahahaha! Everything in life is better with a South Park reference.
OK, I'm agreed with you on all counts. While I take guilty, girly pleasure in watching figure skating, the scoring has always seemed completely arbitrary (read: unfair) to me. And I HATE the American television network's idea of "good coverage" of the Olympic games. Event censoring, virtually no coverage of any other country's athletes, commercials in the middle of routines or runs just because "it's time to advertise", uber-emo montages from hell, all of it SUCKS. Why can't we have a channel that just shows as much as possible, with commentary in the background as we watch the events to provide some subtle emo, and fulfills it's purpose to cover the Games properly?
P.S. NBC, in case you haven't noticed, indoor ice rinks aren't that hard to come by, so shut the f*&$ up about North Carolina already!
Sorry, American TV pisses me off on a regular basis. Case in point: Flavor of Love. 'nuff said.
Ah, I stand corrected. Though there's something to be said for the training provided by adversity. I learned to ski in Vermont and New Hampshire, in not-so-great conditions, but when I got to the Swiss Alps later, I was suddenlt a *goddess* on the slopes. I had had to put up with such bad conditions in New England that when I got to really good conditions, I could handle anything. Of course, I know nothing about whether this would translate to speed skating, so I'll shut up now. :)
Isn't there an event where you have to cross-country ski and then fire guns at targets? Now THERE'S a winter sport with the opportunity for major carnage! Let's get the Veep enrolled.
Biathlon's the name; skiing and shooting's the game! I did mention that point as something that was on last night, but they did not broadcast it. Alas. Veep needs more practice; I suggest he start at the Clay Pigeon range in summer.

That's why they need to show more martial arts events during the Summer Games.

The Olympics mean action and excitement. They need to get back to that.

HOLY SHIT! DODGE CHENEY! Whoever lives the longest trying to keep from getting hit by a stray Cheney shot wins the gold!

Personally, we should send our Army Ranger sharpshooters to the clay pigeon event. Now that's comedy.

BLOOD AND CARNAGE, DAMMIT. That is what so many sports are missing.

I hope they'll show some Olympic bobsled. That's always fun. Alas, no Jamaicans.
