I thought Kostner was supposed to contend! Hype! Wacky Italians!  I ruined all sports at work. I see Chad got the bronze and a wacky Italian won gold! Good enough. WILL SASHA HOLD ON TO HER .03 LEAD?!?!?! |

Kostner was, but she fell! And they still rated her high in the fixed half of the score. Would have been like 3rd if she didn't fall. SASHA WILL WIN! Becky has converted me. Although, I still wouldn't mind Ira winning.  |

 Yay! I win at life! And I wish this dress would drop a little further!  How can you not love this face!!! *swoons*  Hire a better clothes person. Or, Sasha probably chose this herself to embrace her fake Ukrainian roots. Of course, I would want to hide being a Jew, also. I apologize for my racism.  I wonder if Sasha is flexible enough to orally please herself. I will assume "yes!" |

That was sort of the perfect 1500. Davis kicked him some Texas butt and they both lost the race. ;D

I just saw Sasha's preformance! Amazing. Never seen her skate better than that, everything just clicked. Hopefully this happens in the long program but I will fear the worst just in case!

I know... Sasha was amazing! But, I really doubt she's going to win.  Irina had that little slip near the end, and she's a teeny weeny bit behind Sasha. Irina is gonna have to screw up again, with Sasha being perfect, to win. Also, Kimmie got screwed. She should definitely be at least 4th. |

Irina's technically better than Sasha, but really shouldn't be that close on the second mark, IMO. Oh well. I guess this is why I'm not a judge.

The second mark, "program components" or whatever, is basically the "fixed" portion of the ratings.  I really think the only reason Sasha was so high in that was because the judges knew they had to put her ahead of Irina. And it seems really funny that Kostner was way ahead in that category over like Kimmie and the Georgian girl, who were clean and way better. And I'm not understanding how this scoring system favors Sasha. From the little I've watched... Sasha looks by far the best in spin and spirals and general choreography. Plus, her looks help in that as well. But, she's not one of the strongest in the jumps. And the jumps are the biggest part of the Total Element score... which the judges have no control over. Whatever. I'm probably making little sense. |

Becky won't talk figure skating with me. Oh well. And also, this has been a really poor year for US female Olympians. Sasha needs to save them. Or, even better, change her nationality to RUSSIA. Or, at least, UKR. |

I'm disappointed by the lack of pissage from the Canucks. They seem reserved that Quinn is an idiot, and they took a bunch of old players. Why can't you act like you did after Nagano? God, I miss late-90s Hasek. |

Has Sasha ever skated a clean FS? I don't think I ever saw her do that.
If she's planning to fall, she better crash the barrier and spray some blood. Judges went so sentimental over Zhangs (sp?), maybe they will let her have silver then if others skate clean programmes.
Go Elene! Fumie! Shizuka! Irina (that's a sentimental one).
Both Hughes must be sleeping with Cinquanta (sp?) to have such inflated scores. 7th, hugh? Ugly.

Zhang's fall was sick. My groin hurt after watching that.
Emily's performance didn't really impress me... but, she did quite well in the elements section, which judges have no influence on.
