Olympic Tawk

[mrdannyg 274]

I stayed up to watch this. Pretty amazing to be able to perform - individually, in a mentally and physically challenging event, under these circumstances, to Olympic medal standards.I actually thought she might pull into the silver, but the other person was quite good. Now we just need a little trip from this little jerk and she'll pick up the bronze.These routines are so long, can't believe they don't get more tired. Rochette has some serious pipes!

This last bitch is pretty good...no way she can jump 3 spots...right?

I don't know anything about figure skating, but I feel like we're gonna get burned again.

[Zach6668 513]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Whew.I was afraid to. To make 3rd, I think she would've had to receive the 3rd highest score in the history of women's figure skating, with the gold medalist from tonight having the first.I think.Anyhow.Way to go Rochette! Definitely someone I can be proud represents my country.

Hahahaha man this is SO great, why would the IOC EVER punish them for it? Unless they got shitfaced drunk in the 70m postgame and stumbled off the ice. At least they waited until all the fans were gone. Canadian girls really do kick ass

Because they were drinking (underage), in a public, Olympic-sanctioned event and area? That's pretty bad, IMO. I'm not sure if I like it or not, but the IOC definitely has a right to be pissed.

Yes I believe it is pretty IMO. Underage drinking and smoking in a public place (even though everyone left). Just wondering why they are all still wearing their equipment.

To be fair, I don't know a bunch about figure skating, but I thought Joannie Rochette's performance was easily the weakest of the final 6 skaters. She had a few major stumbles, and I didn't think her movement was very fluid, and her landings weren't particularly steady. I don't quite understand how she ended up with a personal best score, and one of the higher scores in olympic history (If I'm not mistaken).On another note, that Korean girl was in a completely different league than the other skaters in this competition.

Ironically that Korean girl trains in Canada and is coached by Canadian legend Brian Orser..Last time I watched figure skating they had the old scoring system of up to 6.0..so not sure how it all works to be honest..I also thought Joannie didnt skate perfect but i was really happy for her..I think maybe the short program marks had a lot to do with it as well..

Quality play Finland.1-0 US

[rocketpoker828 0]

boom, parise scores to make it 2-0. kind of a dumb penalty by finland to give the US the power play.
