That was spectacular!!!

One of the things I've been watching for throughout these games is to try and pick which athlete will be show up on the next season of Dancing With The Stars. SO far I'm pushing fro Shaun White, maybe Adam Rippon, Lindsey Vonn...maybe even Johnny Weir.

 

[E&Cmom]

Woo Hoo! Yay Tessa and Scott! Love them. Amazing skate!

That was an absolutely indescribable performance. Tessa and Scott are otherworldly. So, so happy for them. I couldn't take my eyes off them.

I legitimately had goosebumps and chills through their performance. So happy for Tessa and Scott... and our snowboarder whose name I totally missed while watching the skating,

I believe it was half pipe skiing not snowboarding.

Forget gold - how about diamonds? Can you even believe these people are not a couple? Am I the only one dreaming that he'll take a knee on the podium and propose to her?!?

I think that would make a lot of people very very happy haha

You're probably right I just saw the word halfpipe and assumed.

I checked you're right it was Freestyle Skiing Ladies' Halfpipe according to my notifications and her name is Cassie Sharpe.

I was reading figure skating talk on another website, and some posters there claim a crazy blogger is going around saying they've been married for years and have "three secret babies."

An excerpt:

"And that's not even the craziest stuff on that blog. It is, after all, the Tessa Loves Scott and They are Secretly Married and Have Multiple Babies blog. You see, they're forced to keep their relationship a secret because the judges, already so unfair to them, would undoubtedly treat them even worse if they knew how blissfully happy they are in their personal lives together."

Wow! That crazy blogger is still around. I remeber seeing that blog years ago. It was when their reality show was on.

Considering a friend said that to me only an hour ago, I don't think you are the only one.

I'll very much admit to only being a four-year figure skating fan, but I have re-fallen in love with them (after first doing it in 2014). The definition of electricity on the ice.

Coincidentally, both sets of medals awarded Monday evening, ice dancing and halfpipe, were in the same order to the same countries.

Gold-Canada
Silver-France
Bronze-USA

I commented the same thing to DH.

It's the winter Olympics. the United States is hardly ever a powerhouse. We don't really have many cross country skiiers. And that jobs us in biathlon too. Ice rinks are struggling in many cities here. And we have very few facilities for long track speed skating.

Enjoy it now Norway, Canada, Switzerland, and Germany, because in 2 years, we'll get you our pretties. And your little dogs too!!!!

As for the next winter Olympics, I'm out recruiting right now.

Depending on where you are, ice rinks are not struggling.

I did find it interesting at least in terms of figure skating many seem to train in Michigan that includes many not representing the U.S.

Ice Dance mostly trains in Michigan because that's where the most and best coaches are, there and Montreal.

Some singles train there too, but most are in California or Colorado. Pairs are in Colorado, Texas, or Florida. There are also other major training centers across the US but those are the main ones.

My statement is correct. I said many, not all.

I call BS - nobody with those abs has had multiple babies!
