One of my favorite parts of the Winter Olympics: the starter in long track speed skating and his call of "Red-dee."
It's our routine now when watching speed staking to say that particular announcers "ready". It's the most interesting bored but with flair tone of voice I've heard of lol.One of my favorite parts of the Winter Olympics: the starter in long track speed skating and his call of "Red-dee."
Figure Skating used to be my favorite Winter Olympic event. However, I don't know if I've changed or if the sport changed because over the last couple of Olympics, I found figure skating to be somewhat boring. I wasn't as invested in any of the routines.
And there was a Russian dancing pair I remember & the girl had this beautiful flame-red hair - their routines were so passionate & beautiful.
In Vancouver, I do remember the Canadian pair - Jamie Sale & her partner (can't remember his name) & really liking them.
Oh, & remember the Canadian pair from years ago - His name was Lloyd & I can't remember her name, but I loved them too.
NBC Sports app.I would have loved to watch Moir and Virtue win gold but my DVD cut out a few moments before they skated. Where can I watch their awesome skate??

I love that too!
Did any of you see the shots of Scott Moir in the stands at the hockey game last night? I stayed up to watch the game (till 3 am our time!) but I didn't see the pictures of him until today.

I love seeing women figure skaters in outfits other than dresses. Great outfit!The Hungarian girl who skated to AC/DC's Back in Black sure livened things up at bit.

Maybe we should have sent the other skater. That ice must be slippery again.
I think the Team Figure Skating Event has messed things up for a lot of skaters. Athletes train carefully to peak at exactly the right moment for their Olympic performance. I think many of the skaters peaked at the team event and then had no steam left for their individual event (see also gymnastics, once again, McKayla Maroney who vaulted to near perfection in the team event in gymnastics but couldn't hit it in her individual vault).
I suggest that if they INSIST on making this odd Team Event, they should simply use the scores FROM the individual events. Of course they would have to declare in advance which programs they were going to use for each of the slots Mens short/long, women's short/long, pairs short/long, ice dance short/long. But I think it would be much better this way.
