Ha!
Well, what if I said I am looking forward to it so that I can see all the massive falls or check out the women? Less girly now?  Or I could make it even more of a girly comment and say I like the soft music and the pretty costumes...
I really do love the figure skating though, girly of me to say or not. I have high hopes for Rochette, but i'm still not sold on Chan just yet.

I'm the most humble guy you'll ever meet.
Back on topic... I'm hoping we get a gold early, preferably tomorrow. I want that monkey off our backs.

I'm sick with a cold so I'll probably end up watching it as well  . . . for the massive falls and checking out the women though. I'm still all man, woo *high five*.

athleticism? there are plenty of other things i can "appreciate" from women's figure skating
there is simply no excuse for men's figure skating though

I guess you could compare me to a hillbilly NASCAR fan that only watches races in hopes of seeing a crash.
...I only watch figure skating in hopes of seeing a wardrobe malfunction!!

what's amazing is that i found myself watching Ice Dancing last olympics, despite the name of the sport sounding even less manly than figure skating. but from what i gathered it's basically a sluttied up version of figure skating, and i will definitely be tuning in this year as well for some art appreciation

From what I've seen ice dancing is just figure skating without jumps and those spins which get repetitive anyway, and they make up for it with more difficult moves elsewhere.

After today, I think Chloe Dufour-Lapointe just earned herself another fan in me. (After watching both her runs and a couple skiing events I've seen her in before, but didn't catch the name as much).
Congrats to Heil on the Silver. Can't ask much more from her. She took the smart solution here (Going for at least A medal, and hoping for the Gold), but that doesn't always pay off.
Looking forward to tommorow. Go Canada Go!

You'd rather she was missing those two front teeth, like many of her bretheren from the Edmonton area?
Don't get the hate for the Americans. Ms. Bronze Medal was excited and justifiably so, but if anything, she could have let her team mate, Ms. Gold Medal, have the spotlight solely on herself for at least a nanosecond.

Its sad that the media has built up this stupid Believe crap about winning a gold medal. I bet Jenn Heil is extremely disappointed because of the hype that she was going to be one of the gold medal winners that the silver feels like a failure.

I bet Jenn Heil would have felt that silver was a failure regardless of any media hype. You don't become one of the best in the world by ever being okay with second place.

When you fail to defend any title, it's a failure.
