Gonna need some fabulous commentary from Johnny.

Tara's so adorable in that hat!

And the rink looks gorgeous. Feels like Vancouver was just yesterday. Where the hell does time go?

I AM SO EXCITED!

I didn't know skaters could split the short and long programs....kind of makes me feel a little bit better about the team event but I'm still not really that interested.

I also need a Olympics themed icon for the games!!!!!!

I challenge you to make one better than Comrade Jewbear!

and up to 2 of the 4 disciplines can split. and only 5 of the 10 teams make it to the long program.
it's so weird. And they use 10-9-8-7...point systems for placements to figure out which team wins. like wtf.... COP was designed to get rid of the ordinal/ranking system and now the team event is practically bringing it back.

Don't they do programs that are different then the ones for the individuals?

[parcferme]

No, they'll do the same programs; easier to train that way.

Gonna do my best to find a feed where I don't have to listen to Johnny or Tara.

I like Johnny's commentary better than Scot's (or Tara's), but I do not like the hair.
