You tell 'em audie! Did anyone see the story of the Turkish figure skater? Broke my heart.

Which one?

I agree with you Audie. The whiny babies have really detracted fromt the athletes that are "true" Olympians- it seems sportmanship and athletic ability have been replaced by people that have more in common with Paris Hilton and her media loving type. Of course, I blame a lot on the media for focusing on the trash aspects of the Olympics- NBC should be spanked too. I tuned out a few nights ago- I was bored out of my gourd during the ridiculous coverage of the catfight between the Italian ice dancers. For every nice, behind the scenes story, there were 3 or 4 gossipy and stupid ones.

It seems to me they are following the lead of every show in America...reality TV...stupid fights , attitudes and people...no integrity at all!! That is what the majority of this country wants to see I think they should all be ...this is how I feel about it :nono1: and this is why I do not watch TV at all any more...except HGTV... Give me a good movie or book any day!

I started watching around 11 last night and saw the last group. I think Sasha Cohen was the most elegant and artistic. After she fell, twice, it was a beautiful performance. It was too bad but I think she handled it well. She didn't blame an injury or anyone else. :clap_1:

I loved the figure skating program last night. It's really tough under such pressure - even for the pros - they are so young!

Sasha Cohen was really fantastic, even with falls, and to win the silver is still such an accomplishment.

I just loved the Japanese gold winner - she was elegance on ice and perfection to my eye.

regarding the Italian pair skaters - what a$$holes! it was interesting to watch their silent battle before they performed, then their kiss and make up. But I was also thinking their behavior was appalling and unprofessional. Italians! what can I say - I am one!!! hot blooded and passionate, but those two were just embarrassing.
