I am watching the skating right now and it was quite scandalous when the Canadian favorites got second place scores...despite a standing ovation and the highest marks so far...ah well. They expected the gold medal and deserved it but it now looks like they won't get it. It is my favorite event and certainly has always seemed of of the most 'athletic" of the winter Olympic categories. Ballet and gymnastics on ice: not easy. The costumes can and do make or break the artistic "line" of the performance: a poor choice here, like a poor choice of music, can make really fine skating seem less so. They have great bodies; I think they oughta show 'em off! The sexier the moves the better as long as it is tasteful.
