there's gotta be SOME way to differentiate between routines other than costumes, etc.

hell, it'd be hilarious to see one of these ice-dancing teams TOTALLY whipe out during their routine--that way it would make watching it more like neck-car racing.

I guess if they aren't in sync, you can knock off some points for that. Other than that, I don't know.

What the hell. You skate with a partner literally wearing grips while your opponents have to actually hold on, and that gets 101+ points?

How much did those Russians pay off for those judges?

Gold bitches. Who cares about hockey when you've got ice dancing to carry you?

Well, the U.S. just picked up a Silver in ice dancing.

Speaking of ice dancing... anyone else find the brother/sister partners just a BIT creepy? I mean, ew.

Grips? What?

she had freaking ropes around her body as part of her costume.

Guess I don't see how that would really aid them as if he is holding on to her ropes they would risk a "Wardrobe malfunction."

I didn't see them so I really have no idea what happened or how they were used.

Sucks that the Germans made up some serious ground on us in the last 2 days with the medal count.

The experts commented on that and predicted it would be outlawed next year.

Rather than having to hold on to her for those spins and lifts, the dude would literally grab the rope she was wearing and swing her around without actually touching her body at all. It would be comically pathetic if it didnt get them a high score and push our other USA team out of the bronze medal.

Another good article on NBC's lacking coverage.

If it's noon, and the USA channel, it must be curling. No wonder it's the most-watched Olympic sport; it seems to be the only f**king thing their air.

Whoa. That skiing chick just had an "agony of defeat" moment. Those arms and legs look like they took some unnatural bends.

Peggy Fleming and Dorothy Hamill have aged pretty well. Wouldn't call them babes, but I've seen a lot worse in a lot younger form.

USA vs Switzerland tomorrow afternoon... the other 3 games tomorrow should be much better. Team USA came out dominating the Swiss in the first game, even though it was only 3-1.
