So I'm sitting here in front of me TV watching the Figure Skating pairs Short program, and it's amazing how they make everything look so effortlessly. The lifts are held so gracefully above the ice, and the spins just seem to never end. But when they fall it's like you're falling with them. The disappointment written all over everyone's faces, it's incredible how much emotion goes into these programs. It's incredible.
But this last pair from Germany, what the hell is up with their costumes? Clowns? Really? Well, they did really well at any rate. I felt so bad for the all the couples that fell. Hopefully they do much better tomorrow, and the judges will judge fairly. Yes, I'm referring to the Canadian pair that fell but still managed to place third (although they were bumped down). We shall have to see.
Oh, and congratulations to Canada for their first gold medal on home land in the Olympics! He definitely deserved it, that was one of the best mogul thingies (I really wasn't paying much attention. Just listening for when the skating came back.) Hasta luego!
