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!

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... ^_^
