Olympics - Discussion

Wow those two Russian lady skaters ! Both are brilliant! Too bad they can’t give out two gold medals. But personally, I prefer Medvedeva; she’s so expressive. Both are so young and hopefully will come back for the next Olympics.

It was unbelievable. And the Canadian skater was great too.

nail biter Men's Hockey, came back 4-3 from a 4-0 deficit in this mornings game, but they couldn't get it done. Going for bronze tomorrow morning. I said from the beginning, I just want them to medal. No NHLer's, they deserve it after all the politics. Congrats Team Germany! Go get that gold! Good luck!

I didn't see any of the skaters. I hope I can catch it tonight. Canadian Kaetlyn Osmond won a bronze! Over the years I found Russian skaters are so poised and expressive. They have a beautiful style.

The 15 yr old Russian was truly unbelievable and her team mate equally as skilled, graceful and did a wonderful job.

I'm so proud of these guys!!! #NoNHLersNoProblem!!

I watched both and felt they were heads above the other contestants. However, I feel that Alina 'gamed' the contest by putting all her jumps in the back end of the program. A true feat of athleticism but I was moved by Evgenia's storytelling.

And I know I probably butcher the spelling of their names - apologies.

@Sprite What is the name of their website - Tessa and Scott. All I can think of regarding their purported relationship is that Tessa is honoring her last name! (JK)

I was referring to the CBC website, but if you were looking for the documentary of the making of Roxanne, for some reason I couldn't find it there even though they said it would be there. This is it from YouTube.

It felt the same...I think they should be required to do X amount of jumps in the first half so they can't game the system so easily, and then, they truly earn the bonus points for the extra jumps in the second half of their program.
