Olympics: Men's figure skating

[winter]

Well, that was predictable. But still, gotta love a guy who goes out on ice and doesn't look like any of what he does takes real effort, and still manages to be perhaps the only guy who doesn't make any mistakes at all.

Apart from the Plushchenko love, highlights included Joubert's Riverdancing On Ice, Savoie's entire program (pretty!) and Buttle's lovely classic ballet - Buttle's second place in the free skate is certainly well-deserved. Also, there was this first moment in Takahashi's program, that little bow he did at the very beginning, that was very charming indeed. I'm just sorry for Lambiel - he's really good, but he overreached himself and when he finished, you could see he was just so angry about it all.

(In case you're interested: got an A in my exam, then came home and slept for 5 hours. One of these days, I'll get a healthy reaction to stress.)

Oooh. It looks like LJ added a draft post autosave. Nifty!

The tiger one was Lambiel's, wasn't it? The blue gloves had to go >_< Other duds included Zhang's mock-Alexander the Great outfit (those pants especially) and Savoie's clothes - there are few occasions where tie-dyed beige makes for an appropriate fashion choice. I loved Sawyer's starry shirt though, because I'm a sucker for shiny things :)

The tiger one I wouldn't have minded so much if they had at least colour-co-ordinated the whole ensemble. The artist in me was staring in horror so much that I didn't even notice half of his routine. Purple, orange, black, white and sky blue? What where they thinking?

Agreed on the others, but I will readily admit I adored the Canadian chap's outfit. It was fabulous with the poofy sleeves and admirably tight pants ;)

I think that may have just been a case of "give me more colour!" ;)

Which Canadian chap? :P Though I gather you mean Buttle's, since Sawyer's was pretty tight-fitting. Buttle's clothes just prove that a czarist-style uniform, for a guy, is always the right choice. And talking about being easy on the eyes, whoa. Blond handsome goodness.

That's the one :) I'm abysmal with names, especially when it's a case of "would you look at the legs on that?". My sister was amusing to observe throughout, because she made a kind of squeaky noise and tipped sideways when they did a closeup on him :D

I tend to remember names better when they're attached to good-looking guys ;) I have to admit I went "ooooh" myself. I don't usually go for the squeaky-clean type, but I'd be willing to make an exception in this case... ^_^
