These two sisters, especially the younger gold medalist could have multiple Olympics ahead of them after this one. The oldest sister isn't even that old and could have another one or two Olympics as well.

Awesome to see and the future is bright.

That mogul event was close to midnight Sochi time. Are they holding events late for Western audiences?

Pretty much. Plus they're running long.

Primetime for Central Europe.

Moguls are my favourite winter event. I look forward to the men's on Monday.

Looks like the team figure skating event is pretty much decided with 3 events to go. Russia has a 6 point lead on Canada who have a 7 point lead on USA. Russia only needs a 2nd and two 3rd places to win gold. Canada has pulled Patrick Chan out of the team long program to save him for his individual event.

The standings make sense though - the Russians have been the best in most events. Their ladies skater (who is 15!!!) is incredible!

I believe they announced Patrick Chan wouldn't skate in the team free program right after he finished thr short - so not much of a surprise there.

As much I still enjoy the traditional events the most, they are definitely one of the better "new" sports to watch. Although personally for me nothing beats the excitement/chaos of short-track speed skating (especially the team relays).

I think I like Moguls a lot because we're awesome at it

It's a good event though.
