The second end does not go well for Canada against Germany. Amazingly bad luck for our second on both his shots.

Is there a less manly Olympic event than mens' figure skating?

Chan and the Russian having a bitch fight about the "quad making you a man."

I've been hearing about Patrick Chan for way too long, for him not to get gold. They've made me expect it. I swear he's been in commercials since '08.

I hope he does good!

(^I like the Olympic theme, haha)

In winter? no.

In summer, Dressage. "I'm just going to prance around on my little pony while judges watch how prim and proper I am."

Martin pulls off a double take out on his first shot, German skip wrecks, Martin clears the third stone and the Germans go from looking to score three to blanking the end in two shots. Ouch.

Sandhu should have had his own category that was neither male nor female.

Doesn't seem to have competed since 2007.

His Wikipedia picture is special:

Looked pretty good. A couple miscues but overall it might be good enough to get on a podium. We'll see.
