Figure skating

Arr. I already knew who was gonna win after watching the warm-up for the last group. A total no-brainer. Arakawa is obviously the most stable skater. Sasha breaks under pressure... again. Irina wasn't looking good during warm-up either. After Sasha's skate, I thought she probably wasn't even gonna medal, and I was totally sad for her. OK then Suguri lost to her. Then Meissner. Then even Irina messed up and LOST TO COHEN. WHAT? WOW. SILVER! Who wouldn't be happy with Olympic SILVER? Oh right, Sasha Cohen. I bet she's traumatized right now that she didn't win, because that's what insanely disturbed people do. And of COURSE, Sasha has NO poker face, you know she is going to lose before she even skates. You also know when she is going to win.

Arr I wanted either an American or Irina to win, and of course I somehow find Arakawa so BORING, but then again, there's nothing wrong with a lack of facial expressions (look who's talking), but fandom is irrational, right?

I just realized, the favorited Irina winning Olympic bronze following silver, doesn't that remind you of someone??? (Michelle Kwan, for those impaired in skating stats.) Also, under the new system, Sarah Hughes wouldn't've won gold. It was a GREAT Olympic moment, when she skated perfectly, but still.

Arakawa's gold made a lot of Japanese people really happy. It may also have saved Japan's winter olympic hopes for the future.
