I'm pretty sure many of you already know the competition schedule for the event, but I just wanted to post this for those who may not know and need a quick reference. Olympics Schedule (Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8)/Start time (EST) in bold ( ) Sunday, February 14 16:30 - 19:55 Pairs...
This is an opinion-based poll. I have listed the programs that IMO stood out as magical moments of figure skating, despite the technical content and the soo called "artistic" skills of the skaters.. You know, when the competitor just rises to the ocassion and delivers his best. Feel free to list...
My podium hopes and how they panned out: Pairs: - For Shen/Zhao to win gold. + - For Kavaguti/Smirnov to be kept off the podium, I hate her flexed feet. + Two for two there! Yay! Men: - For Plushenko to not win gold. +
I have so many for the ladies 1. The final flight all delivering when it mattered. No falls at all :eek: One of the best-skated Olympics for the ladies division. 2. A podium of worthy skaters 3. Rochette's truly Olympic moment, her strength, her elegance, everything 4. Yu-na crying after...
former Canadian medallist Elvis Stojko, suggested that Kim's marks were too high. He noted that Asada had successfully landed a triple Axel - she's the only woman who executes them regularly in competition - and got fewer marks than Kim's easier triple Lutz. The argument is similar to the one...
The competition was great, most skaters performed better than expected, but there can no be figure skating without some moments where the judging and/or scores makes us go "uhmmm"" :think::unsure: So what where the top 5 performances in which the judges were too generous or too strict. TOP 5...
Hey guys, I had a really strange feeling about 2010 Olympic, and I try to find out what is going on behind the world of figure skating. These are the all info I collect from NEWS,Internet, etc... And I find out figure skating is not sport anymore. It is WAR! Let's say who get strange score...
I can't get Silverlight to work on my Mac PPC G4, and can't find videos anywhere else on the web. Nothing on Youtube! Is NBC policing this?
I've found those links at a forum. The quality of the pictures is great. One link is to Min-Jung Kwak's. (I added a documentary video on Yu-Na from her news thread.) SP 1 SP 2 FS 1 FS 2
i want the music of : 1.miki Ando's LP 2.nobunari Oda 's LP 3.Daisuke Takahashi's SP Thank you guys very much. My english is very poor...
So which category did you think was the best competed despite your personal preferences for each?? My vote goes to Ice Dance. While Ladies had the best final flight ever in the previous groups there were lots of splats and meltdowns (Carolina, Elene, Sarah M.) but in Dance basically everyone was...

So when will the list of skaters for the gala be available?
I have merged all threads commenting on interviews by Russian skaters or officials on the men's event into this thread. This was done because the discussion had split into 4 or 5 different threads, making the board too fragmented. Doris P ...
An informative article on the cultural phenomenon that is Yu Na Kim in her home country: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/olympics/2010/02/26/skorea.celebrates.ap/ For instance, did you know that stock trading in South Korea took a dip during the few minutes or so that Yu Na Kim was...
I was re-watching the ladies long program and I thought that Mirai's long program was really well done. I don't understand why Sandra and Scott were saying that Mirai did not have the polish or sophistication of Joannie Rochette or the other top skaters. I thought Mirai's spirals and spins showed...
Well the party is over and the bill will be a hefty one, but I have to say "well done Vancouver/Whistler." The games have come and gone and everyone here is feeling rather deflated now. I think all things considered the games were a success. I was really surpirsed that in the end most...
Joannie, to even go out on the ice after such unbelievable tragedy is brave enough, but then to win a Bronze medal for your country on home soil makes you a hero in my books. I'm proud of you, the entire Canadian nation is proud of you, as is the Skating community. If there was ever a way to say...

Hi. I still need help. I have yet to see any video on the nbcolympics site. I thought I downloaded silverlight but maybe it didn't take. If someone has a link to silverlight I would deeply appreciate it so I could try again to download it. Thanks. (I live in the US)
Just let your heart speak! :love:
Can someone please help me. I want to see Mao's Gala performance so bad. The NBC Olympics site comes up but the videos (all of them) do not. The space where the videos are supposed to be does not get black and nothing happens even after I click "video". Also, you tube doesn't have any videos...
I have merged all threads reportiing comments by prominent Canadians on the men's event in the news into this thread. Doris P. They just interviewed Patrick Chan on CTV. He said the experience was amazing and it has made him hungry for more. Sounds like he won't be hanging up his skates...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxAN5rYRqaU found this while utubing few min ago. kinda interesting how they mark each jumps and elements, altho they tend to disseminate Mao's underrated performance. anyway, isn't tappin the judges prohibited?
Inquiring minds want to know if he is mad Mao performed two triple axels last night and was still well below Yu-Na Kim's score.
Maclean's had great coverage last week. Tessa & Scott are on the cover and have an article. Joannie has a short article. One of their humourous columnists, Scott Feschuk did a piece listing all of the "complainers" and "blamers" at the Olympics, and what they complained about. He listed Brian...
